guaifenesin and sinus infection

unles your smoking id suggest going to a doctor

If the guaifenesin breaks up sinus mucus, it stands to reason that it will break up the mucus in your stomach. I got a wicked case of gastritis from mucinex. I deduced this was the reason why.

Hi Molly I use to,...have not had one since my PFD....but I have heard of others with this issue. So sorry u have this on top of everything else.....do u have allergies that may cause u to get the sinus infections?....

The only active ingredient is guaifenesin, and it contains 100 mg per teaspoon. It is very important to avoid the versions that contain decongestants as those may dry up cervical mucus. Also, there is some conflicting information about whether dextromethorphan, the DM in some cough medicine names, may be linked to birth defects such as neural tube defects and cleft palate. Do I need to use the brand Robitussin? No. Robitussin is the most common brand name, at least in the U.S.

It starts with a sore throat and and flu like symptoms with cough. It also usually includes sinus headaches and ear pain (due to the eustachian tube getting clogged between the sinuses and the ear). Now the bad news, even after the flu like symptoms are gone, the cough and mucus want to stick around for weeks (sometimes a couple of months).

Again, be aware that a bacterial sinus infection can develop (significant facial pain/pressure, toothache, fever, thick yellow/green discharge). If you develop these, or your symptoms aren't resolving, go to your doctor. If you have other medical conditions, or are on other medications, please be sure to run them by your pharmacist before buying anything for your cold.

) for chest congestion, I use a sample corticosteroid spray the doctor gave me, Tylenol Sinus, and even a spray of Advair (I have borderline asthma) when I go to bed. I'm disabled and have no health insurance, so going to specialists and having a battery of tests just isn't possible. I just wondered if anyone else here has had a similar situation and maybe how it was handled. Thank you so much to anyone who responds.

I will tell you that u definetly have a cold or flu and i think its been caused by germs and bacteria. And considering you said you were in a hotel gets me to think if the air conditioning was filtered with dirt that you congested and got sick. if you want to prevent having colds always make sure you are in an clean environment. I think you need to drink lots of water and take some antibiotics and wash your hands after everything Hope this helped!

I have done some research and it appears that clomid can dry up cervical mucus in some people.But if you take robitussin that contains the ingredient (guaifenesin) only and take 1 teaspoon morning and night its supposed to help.But you only take it after your period ends and stop when you ovulate.Drinking a daily glass of grapefruit juice also helps as does eating sweet potato or yams.I am using conceive plus also which is a lubricant similar to preseed.

Streptoccocal infection is the most common bacterial infection and can cause nasal symptoms too. Indoor exposure to black mold can cause upper respiratory tract symptoms such as sore throat and cough with or without wheeze in otherwise healthy people. Ideally you should consult a chest specialist. A comprehensive investigation including CBC, throat swab, allergic tests, X-rays, examination with a scope in throat, spirometry etc is required keeping all the points in mind.

Well, in mid-September I got really sick with a sinus infection; about a week later I was put on antiobioctics for 10 days. However, I developed a really nast cough - so I called and they put me on another round of antibioctics that were stronger. The cough still persisted and I went in for a follow-up, was given a temp inhaler and decongest. No fever or other symptoms, just the cough coupled with some ear plugging and nose stuff here and there.

I still get a drowning feeling while the flush is running through my sinus. One can also add salt (not the iodized stuff) and a pinch of soda (the Arm and hammer anti acid stuff) to make the flush. The idea is to add enough salt to have a saline neutral solution.

Hi i can confirm that the cough syrup is robitussin chesty cough medicine that contains (guaifenesin) only.Its in a red and black box.I have never noticed my cervical mucus ever before and this was my first month on clomid.I took robitussin every morning and evening (5ml dose).You only take it after AF has ended and stop when you ovulate.I drank a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as its supposed to help CM too.

I know it should be sticky, EGCM and stretchy. Mine is hardly stretchy at all - a few millimeters and it breaks imidiately. It also only lasting for a few hours every cycle.

The ingredients are acetaminophen, guaifenesin, and phenylephrine. Will any of those ingredients caus a positive drug or alcohol test?

I have used it (Guaifenesin) and it seems to work pretty well. Also, evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice are supposed to be really good!

Well as happens I am taking the medication for different reason and different form (pill format and control of dystonic spasms) and I've taken it as a cough medicine in the past and at prescription dosages it can have side effects of concern in higher dosages.

You are supposed to use this before you ovulate and not after because Guaifenesin is thought to cross the placental barrier which means your fetus would be exposed to it. I have no clue what affect it has on the fetus. My body has always produced alot of EWCM, but I noticed when I used Guaifenesin, it increased my cervical mucus even more. I hope this helps friend.

I've had asthma since I was little, and as far as I've gathered, expectorant is for non-asthmatic cough sufferers while mucolytics are for asthmatics. Is this true? What's confusing me though is why "guaifenesin", a component in one asthma pill I used to take, is used as an "expectorant", and the only OTC drug available for the purpose of easing the removal of phlegm here in the U.S.

I just started taking clomid and i read to start the guaifenesin on day 10 till ovulation. On a website for fertility i read that you need to take 200mg three times a day!

Walmart sells something called the "netipot" or "sinus rinse" it's basically a saline solution that you use to flush your sinuses. I have HORRIBLE sinus problems and sudafed and other sinus related products don't typically work for me. I've tried antihistamines, allergy meds etc and nothing works. My sinuses get REALLY bad when I'm pregnant. The sinus rinse was a life saver with my last pregnancy.

yes, well sort of. It's Guaifenesin an ingredient found in cough meds. You can usually find a store brand of robitussin that has only Guaifenesin in it. The ingredient is made to break up mucus, but if taken while you ovulate it can make your CM more compatible with sperm.

I have fibromyalgia so and am in grad school and working so fatigue is my middle name . I wear a mouth guard and washed real good thinking maybe there was some bacteria on it or something .

She put me on Augmentin for 8 days for a sinus infection and said that she saw fluid behind my left eardrum. After the 8th day of pain, the augmentin did NOTHING and I went to the ER. The ER doctor was concerned about my family history and me being a smoker, and recommended a CAT scan and a spinal tap! I had both. I also insisted he do a full sinus scan. The CAT and Tap came back normal. My sinuses were a "little cloudy" on the left side.

I also should say I have had a bad cough and coughin gup the sinus drainage but again it is always clear. my ears are very full and am starting to take sudafed.

I started with a bloody nose maybe in middle of Feburary. I felt a little congested but not bad. By the end of Feb I broke out with the worst sinus infection in my life! I was draining everywhere. Heres how it started the day before I got sick I was eating dinner and felt as tho I got something caught in my throat. I went to the doc the following day and she said ooh its something viral. The following day I had nothing but drainage from head to ears to nose.
