A member asked:

Ive tried mucinex, (guaifenesin) day quil, night quil, and nothing seems to be working to get the cold out my chest. would promethazine/codeine syrup help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other symptoms?: How long have your symptoms lasted? Any fevers/chills? Coughing up green or yellow phlegm? Trouble breathing? If any of the above, or if this has lasted over 10 days without improvement, you could have pneumonia or even influenza, which means you should go see a healthcare provider. Otherwise, rest and drink plenty of fluids.
