Can Mucinex And Sudafed Be Taken Together For Head Cold And Sore Throat?
Hi. I have a head cold and I have quite a few medications that I am on quite a few medications already, but I need to get better pretty quickly. I am on Singulair, Advair, Claritin and Fluticasone Propionate. These I take regularly for my allergies and asthma. What I am thinking about taking is some Ibuprofen to help with my swollen throat from all drainage and then I have either Benadryl or Mucinex. And can I mix Mucinex and Sudafed?
So to get to my question I guess, what would be the best mixture of medication to clear me up quickly? Thank you.
