Mucinex DM

May have spelled it wrong lol.  I was wondering if this can be used for allergy/asthma purposes?

---

Dx with Crohn's 1987, symptoms as early as 1984. Ovarian cysts dx 1994, migraines dx 1996, allergies (including food allergies) , oral allergy syndrome (sligtly different than true food allergies), Astham dx 1984, Gall Bladder removed 1999, Inguenal hernia Sx 1987

When I saw the doctor he said my cough was coarse and had me use their nebulizer. After the treatment he listened and said I sounded better (even though I was styill coughing quite a bit). He said it seemed to just be my asthma so I reasked him if I had a cold or not even tho I had no sore throat and no sinus issues since I am immunosupressed and around many people that have the cold that is going around. He said well it is nothing bacterial. I am trying to understand that comment so do I have a virus? The treatment he told me was increase fluids, get rest, use mucinex DM and either my inhaler or nebulizer every 4-6 hours. If I am not sick why the mucinex DM and not another product by them?

If you seem to have mucous, use a vaporizer at night to add additional moisture in the air which will in turn add moisture to the mucous & you will be better able to cough it up. If you seem to have a problem w/mucous throughout the yr, ask MD about Rxing one of 2 devices used to breakup mucous. The devices are made from plastic, sends vibrations into your lungs which breaks the mucous up and allows you to expell the trapped secretions.

Good luck!
