Brief Answer: Yes but with caution Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Delysm and codein both are good drugs for cough. However both have problem with sedation. They can be taken together but that may cause excessive sedation. You may take it ones and experience the sedation but if it is intollerable the same should not be taken. You should also try steam inhalation, warm saline gargles and give vocal rest as much as possible. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy Wish you good health, Kind regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D.
