[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the recommendations. Trying Mucinex D (the one behind the counter) and grabbed a saline rinse.[/quote]

Nope. Wrong one. That one has pseudoephedrine, which is a stimulant and can cause heart issues. Also, good luck sleeping.

Just plain mucinex. Not behind-the-counter; it's on the shelf. [/quote]

I'm happy to say that the Mucinex D worked wonders at loosening + drying things up enough that he could actually get a night of rest.[/quote]

Great, and know for future reference that the pseudoephedrine can cause rebound congestion. If you do well with the combo, get both meds. Pre-combined medications are much less useful than stand-alone, single drugs. The cost for "just mucinex" and "just sudafed" isn't much different than the cost of mucinex-d, and may even be cheaper. Then, you can take mucinex 2x daily, and just take a sudafed in the mornings, as needed.

Glad it worked out for you, and there's a reason the recommendation was what it was. Know your drugs.[/quote]
