HI, Bizi,
My mdoc is useless and maybe worse.
When I called with original symptoms on Wednesday / May 6, the office people (thinking Swine Flu) told me that they would not see me and I had to go to the ER. Urgent Care told me to go to the ER as well.
ER doc said to follow up with primary doc if symptoms relieved by Monday / May 11.
Mdoc's office was helpful to me at one time but that was years and years ago. It would take me pages to explain how awful they are.
I am reluctant to find new mdoc -- can't explain -- it is emotional.

scary to find THOSE TWO ingredients COMBINED in a single syrup.
dextromethorphan is an antitussive - cough suppressant. never heard about its not being effective, new one to me. beware it can also make you sleepy.
guaifenesin is an expectorant. |
HI, Waves,

I was anxious about the stuff and the cough and did not go to bed /stayed up until 10:00 am. Tired now.
If I go out today, I am going to buy some honey. We have a little bit in the apt and it seemed to help temporarily with the cough last night.
Symptoms: dry (mostly) cough, runny nose.

Honey in this study was shown to shorten duration of colds:
