A member asked:
Will mucinex (guaifenesin) help with a bad persistant cough i've been having (my pediatrician said i have post nasal drip)? i am 17.

Likely not: Mucinex (guaifenesin) breaks up mucous and if your cough is caused by irritation in the back of your throat from nose drainage then not likely. I recommend talking to your doctor, telling them you are not happy having the cough and ask if they have any idea of how to stop the nasal drainage
