A member asked:

I've taken zyrtec, flonase, and benadryl (diphenhydramine) but can't sleep for coughing. these are all things my doctor told me to take. can i take delsym too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Fever? Coughing blood? Cough mainly when you lie down? Smoke? Exposed to a cat? Take ACE such as lisinopril? You probably need an inhaler. You probably best see a respiratory specialist.
