Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough
Hello- I recently had a cold 14 days ago. I seem to be over most of it but it has settled in my chest. The cough is very unproductive, causing pain in my head and back when i do cough. worse at night. I have been taking advid cold and sinus and mucinex for the cough for the past 10 days. The musinex which has worked in the past to get the flem up is not working.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The mucinex would be helpful if the cough is wet. They help to break up the mucus so that it can be expelled easier.
You may want to consider the use of a cough suppressant to help reduce the coughing.
These should be available over the counter.
It would help reduce the coughing at night.
I hope this helps
