Yes, you may. Drink enough water and or juice to stay hydrated. It would be advisable to wear a mask in public places till your symptoms abate so that you minimize spread of infection. Wish you good health!

Mucinex brand now has many medication combinations. If you mean plain original Mucinex that is only guaifenesin, then it is fine to add ibuprofen. Check the ingredients in your medication first so you can be sure you are not doubling up on something that’s already in it.
