Suggest Treatment For Congestion
Good Morning I have chest congestion with mucus since the last 2 days. It started as the weather changed and it is rainy season now where I live. Which medicine should I take? There was fever on the first two days but it was not much. I took SInarest tablets along with Grilinctus Syurp which subsided the fever but the dry coughing gave way for chest congestion with mucus.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since the cough is now wet, you may want to consider the use of a mucolytic. This is medication that breaks up the mucus and would make it more easily expelled.
They are available over the counter. Examples are: bisolvan, mucomyst, guaifenesin, amboxal.
In some cases, the coughing may also be related to closure of the airways and a bronchodilator (medication to open airways) is needed.
This may require a prescription.
I hope this helps
