Hello!

Since you complain only of cough with tough phlegm you can control that with Mucinex. There is no contraindication to your current medication and Mucinex. You may safely take this medication for controlling the phlegm. In case you develop fever kindly get a blood test done and you may have to start a course of antibiotics.
