Avatar f tn Robitussin if you have a cough, Sudafed if you have congestion. Just make sure if you need Tylenol for any reason to check the packaging on the other medicines to make sure you don't take too much. Also at night put Vicks on your feet then cover with socks it will help you sleep.
5011734 tn?1362318973 Is there any OTC that can be taken for sinus pain that WILL NOT cause blurred vison?
Avatar m tn I was congested with a mild fever, so I went on the attack. OTC allergy and cough liquid medicine, echinacea tea, immune booster tea, neti pot saline rinses, vitamin C chewable's, chicken noodle soup, steam showers and rest. It is day three, the congestion has turned into off in on congestion with a runny nose when not congested, a consistent cough with me trying to get the mucus out of my chest, to a dry cough.
874521 tn?1424116797 it has been managed, however I now have a respiratory flu going on..with lots of chest congestion, the last 5 days I have been extremely short of breath. I nearly went to the ER at one point a few days ago..however I'm doing something I know full well I shouldn't be!! My grandson is here visiting and he is on(occasionally)...a VENTOLIN inhaler...I think this has saved my life. I cannot get into see a doctor until Jan 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1581202 tn?1296527842 the only thing u can take when pregnant is benadryl which may help clear ur sinuses... robitussin for cough and chest congestion, and tylenol for pain and fever... do not take anything with out consulting your doctor first! many medications have dangerous chemicals that can harm baby!!
Avatar f tn What it feels like is the chronic post nasal drip I have has caused congestion in my upper chest. However, the weird part is, I really have no cough, and the occasional cough has never brought anything up. In the past, if my chest begins to feel this way, it is followed by the painful cough and coughing stuff up. I would not call what I have sometimes as pain, it feels more like irritation. When I am active, as well as when I drink a lot of water, it seems to be much better.
Avatar n tn For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
Avatar f tn I have severe chest congestion. This has been going on for about 3 months. It's strange because I will have constant congestion and cough one day and the next day I will be almost clear. I know that if I have congestion one day the next day I will not. I plan my days accordingly. My dr. has put me on antiboitics and presidone twice in the last 3 months, I've had a chest x-ray last week, shows nothing. I have had allergies all my life.
Avatar f tn I have this tightness in my chest i kno its mucus but i dont have a cough or cold it hurts when i try to take a deep breath ive never had chest congestion before im not coughing up blood or anything like that. ive been using my asthma pump because when i was younger i had trouble with asthma it helps clearing my airways so i can breath easier but it comes back after awhile. Help?
Avatar n tn the only one I could find that resembled that is Robitussin Cough and Chest Congestion and is alcohol-free. Do you all think this is okay to take? Trying to get a hold of the doctor but just wanted everyone's opinion. Thanks!
Avatar f tn What's safest to take otc medication for sneezing, sinus drainage and sinus congestion, I was told Sudafed but not exactly which one considering there's like 40 different ones.
Avatar f tn If you do not have any chest congestion, I would recommend discontinuing the Mucines. Claritin is not as good as it once was when it was prescription form. You may try using benadryl or another antihistamine such as OTC Zyrtec. You also might be able to find a cough suppressant OTC that is aimed directly at coughing due to post nasal drip. The allergies are so bad this year, I would bet that is what is causing your problems.
Avatar m tn Is there any reason why i have trouble catching my breath and cough with a barking sound with chest congestion? Ive tried a alot of OTC medication and even though it does sometimes help im not sure why im having trouble catching my breath at times and when i do i feel the need to cough when i inhale and wonder if thats throwing my breathing off. Are there any other conditions that i should ask my doctor to check for?
Avatar n tn If the secretions where too thick to break up before you took the antibiotic, then the medicine is working, it is breaking that congestion up, which will rattle more in your chest and you will cough more to get the serections out. Try taking OTC guaifenesin this will help with the thinning of secretions and make it easier to cough up the mucus that is in your lungs. Also drink plenty of water. If you dont feel better soon take to your md, also make sure your not running any fever.
Avatar f tn i have severe asthma and horrible chest congestion that im throwing up the mucus at this point
1331397 tn?1294039895 I have also been geeting really bad heart burn i believe, or what could be a severe burning sensation in my chest. My breathing has also changed in the past month and it seems that i struggle to breath. My doctors say i suffer from anxiety but i think its something else. Any ideas??
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any tips to better my nasal congestion? Or is there anything I can take or use?
Avatar f tn so now im having really bad allergic reaction where my eyes swell and get all red and itchy, my nose is totally stuffed up, and now i feel like in the middle of my chest i weeze. this has been happening for like a week now...but the chest thing jus started yesterday. when i take claritin it all goes away except for the chest weezing. i dont really have trouble sleeping but i do wake up to blow my nose and stuff. whats wrong with me?
1814032 tn?1392518958 I started off with nasel congestion/runny nose. A few days later it felt like I might have a sinus infection, because of the nasel pressure and the body aches too. About a week and a half into this, I started having chest congestion/pressure/pain, and severe headaches to go along with the rest of my symptoms.
Avatar f tn The heaviness and congestion in my chest is non stop now and I have sharp pains in my chest/lung areas. Whenever I go to the ER they listen and feel no wheezing and send me home. The past couple of weeks I have been only able to eat a few bites a day because I am in so much pain and I have also started having horrible heartburn and acid reflux. I bought some pepcid AC and tums but they are not helping and I now take musinex on a daily basis. It is really hard for me to even swallow water.
Avatar f tn So I have been having panic attacks for the past two weeks off and on. For the most part I have been functioning normal, with the exception of a few episodes here and there lasting about 20-45 minutes. After them I'm usually able to go to sleep. They have been awful, but my symptoms have gotten unceasingly worse the past three days. All of a sudden three days ago I felt like my anxiety went through the roof, but unlike a panic attack, it hasn't stopped.
Avatar f tn ve been battling a sinus thing and I was told Sudafed but nothing more than regular Sudafed (no PE, extended release, etc.)and that if it became a full blown cold (chest congestion, cough, etc.) I could take Tylenol Cold but also just the regular version. Hope you get to feeling better!
Avatar f tn Do not use any other nasal spray. If your nose starts running excessively move to an OTC non-drowsy tablet for nasal congestion and take only one tablet a day.
Avatar f tn I came down with bronchitis during my second trimester and ended up taking the Z pack and it clear right up. Honey/ lemon tea for sore throat. Vicks rub for chest congestion. I hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
Avatar f tn You need to get checked to make sure it isn't the flu because it's true my ob said the flu in pregnant women can be very dangerous to both the mother and the unborn baby better to be safe than sorry
