A member asked:
I took pfizer covid vaccine 2nd dose on last week of monday(5/3/2021). after 2 days cough started. what is my question can i take mucinex and benzonatate at the same time?

OK to take benzoate and mucinex - although they usually don’t do much good. You MAY have caught coronavirus before the vaccine had enough time to fully protect you (full protection generally 3-4 weeks after 2nd dose). For the sake of those around you, get a nasal test to see if you’re (+) and capable of spreading the virus to others
