Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I dont take anything herbal but Ive found that if I feel myself getting congested and I take Mucinex, it appears that I can fight off the cold. I failed to do it in December and I got sick as a dog. If I can keep myself decongested, I appear to fight off the cold much better. I feel your pain in getting bronchitis 2 or 3 times a year...but up until I moved to Florida, the last 3 or 4 years I did pretty good with it. ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi! I take Mucinex 2x a day along with my Advair 500, Duo-Neb for the nebulizer, albuterol rescue as needed...still very filled up, even after a 10 day course of Levaquin and a course of prednisone. Grrrrrrrr, very frustrated, but have been given a ton of info from everyone here...thanks again!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I don't know if this will help you but I had a lot of mucus causing me to cough a lot. I was thinking of taking Mucinex for my asthma. Instead I visited my pulmonary doctor in Brooklyn.I have built up a friendship with this doctor ever since he cured my apnea. He diagnosed a bronchitis. My doctor gave me Avelox antibiotic and Foradil aerolizer as well as nebulizer, etc. This medicine has really stopped the buildup of mucus and alleviated my symptons. jj vargas > I dont take anything herbal but Ive found that if I feel myself getting > congested and I take Mucinex, it appears that I can fight off the cold. > I failed to do it in December and I got sick as a dog.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 HI , How long were you on the Avelox? I was on a course of Augmentin and another 10 day course of Levaquin with no significant improvement. Am seeing the pulmo today after school, and will inquire.... Have a good day and thanks again, Beth (-:jose vargas wrote: I don't know if this will help you but I had a lot of mucus causing meto cough a lot.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have been only 2 days on avelox and I got my life back. I can breathe. You must have insurance each pill is $13. you need 7 to 10 pills for 7 to 10 days treatment. jose vargas > > I dont take anything herbal but Ive found that if I feel > myself getting > > congested and I take Mucinex, it appears that I can fight off the cold. > > I failed to do it in December and I got sick as a dog.
