Suggest Remedy For Severe Cough While On Mucinex DM
I had the flu shot on Nov. 2nd. After that I have had a nagging cough that doesn t come everyday, but usually waits until I m around people. I have been taking Mucinex DM for 3 weeks. It suppresses the cough for 12 hours, but will return. Is this normal or do I just continue taking the Mucinex?

Hi
If the Mucinex actually supresses the cough you probably have a sinus infection with postnasal drip that recurs once the Mucinex wears off so I suggest you see a doctor for a course of antibiotics
