A member asked:
Cold symptoms 4 days , improving but still very congested , sneezing, runny nose. will i get better faster by taking mucinex or by taking no meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Mucinex is usually best to loosen the phlegm of a cough. Since you have congestion and cold symptoms best to use Mucinex for coughs. Perhaps an OTC antihistamine like Allergra or Claritin would work better for cold symptoms
