How would i know when to take mucinex and what should i do or take for a cough or dry throat?

Drink fluids: Mucinex is worth taking if you have no medical contraindications and are on no medications which will interact,and it helps. It is an expectorant (in theory helps to bring up more mucous),but it depends on which formulation you’re using.Some have a cough supressant and some have a decongestant.It will not take care of the cause. Best to increase your fluid intake.See your doctor if not improving.
