Medical question - Sinus

[jennielynn1970]

Can you try the brand, or the generic, of Mucinex? I find that it works really well. It will target just the sinus crap. If you have chest congestion, the Mucinex (or generic) with the expectorant (guaifenesin) works really well.

Here's the website, just ignore the video cause the "mr. mucus" guy is obnoxious. I do use the generic of Mucinex and it works really well.

A lot of people are having sinus flare-ups as the heat comes on in their houses, disturbing all the dust that's been piling up in the ducts. Make sure there's enough moisture in the air - that will probably help! I second the suggestion of Mucinex (guaifenesin) - no side effects, but it only works if you drink lots of liquids, which is a good idea anyway. It works by making your membranes produce lots of thin, watery secretions, which helps wash the thick, stubborn stuff out. Eating something spicy can help clear your head too. Especially wasabi, the green stuff that comes with sushi - burns like a fireball for a few seconds, but then it's gone, and your ears are making those clickety noises that tell you the sinuses are ready to coredump. Or drink hot tea - doesn't matter what kind, but I guess you'd want something without caffeine. Try Tension Tamer or Sleepytime by Celestial Seasonings - both taste great!
