Suggest Treatment For Persistent Bronchitis While On Robitussin

default
Posted on Wed, 22 Mar 2017
Question: My husband has had flu/bronchitis for a week. He has taken Robitussin CF maximum strength for three days. Yesterday, he developed a rash at the back of his neck and had pain in the area. Tonight he read on the Robitussin bottle that it could be an allergic reaction and should seek medical help right away. It is 3:00 am, but I should I take him to the ER?
