Hello , my dear HW friends-
Thought i'd post this here...as I'd get the most informative feedback--
I'll try to keep this "short & sweet"...& HOPE I get LOTS...of feedback...(please--?)
OK--Just getting over a really bad cold...sinus issue...& minor bronchitis!
Saw my E/N/T Dr (This Thurs)--he gave me "Medrol Pack"..(6 day supply) & Zithromax-
Sneezing & post nasal drip...getting better...BUT....have this..REALLY NASTY COUGH!
( about 5 days now!)--- I mean...the kind where you feel...your lungs are like wet tissue paper...& you just wanna go down there with your hand..& CLEAR out all this "gunky"...mucous!
Been taking some mild "Children's Dimetapp"...w DM....& antihistimine-(I can NOT take ANY decongestants......cause it gives me lots of irregular heartbeats!
When I cough...I can FEEL...the mucous..."rattling around"...! Sometimes..I get SOME of it up.....(usually...clear or light yellow)----BUT...not enough!
TWO friends...both recommened Mucinex.....(Guaifenesin)-----& told me to take it w LOTS of fluids....(water...juices....herbal teas)---!
So,,....today...my wife went out & got me a box of "Mucinex"..(brand name..ain't cheap...BUT--I don't care--IF it works!) 600 mg...time release!
OK----WILL this really help? Does it work? HOW LONG....before I feel it;s affects?
It is FRIDAY night...(Dec 3)----I took it.....6:30 PM...after dinner..! And..I'm drinking LOTS of spring water...(and some fruit juice mixed w spring water)---!
WILL my coughs become more "productive"--?
Please---get back....HOPEFULLY....with some "postive" feedback--! (Again...time frame a question...! Will I notice it...in an hr...two hrs...six hrs...or....after a day or two---AGAIN--JUST took my FIRST dose...6:30 PM)--Thanks--Regards---Rob
