Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Flu

Posted on Thu, 12 Oct 2017

Question: Hello, I think I may have the flu and won't get to dr. until morning, I won't be able to rest if I can't relieve some pain and pressure. At 7 am I took mucinex dm, it is now almost 8 pm. Would it be safe to take theraflu? I purchased the night time sever cough cold tea. I have a phobia of medications so the thought of taking something gives me anxiety. I am only changing because the mucinex did nothing and it has been the most horrible 12 hour wait. Thank you for your time.

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

I am sorry that you're dealing with flu like symptoms.

Since you took the Mucinex over 12 hours ago it would be OK for you to take a nighttime TheraFlu formula to help alleviate your symptoms.

Please also make sure that you were drinking plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. It would be a good idea for you to touch base with your doctor to see if your doctor would like to see you in person as well.

Thanks again for sending the question.

Sincerely,

dr. Galamaga
