Sue-
Have you ever tried the CVS liquid guaifenesin? What are your thoughts about the CVS liquid?
Is there a best time, etc. to take the Mucinex LA 600?
Did you start out with 600 or a lower dosage?
Do you still take it 2x a day?
I just finished Paxlovid.
I am having head congestion, could the mucus have anything to do with the feeling of head congestion and ear feeling stopped up.? I'm not having pain at this time. I did have a couple of times a quick shooting pain in the ear. Hard to get into see the PCP and the ENT as soon as I would like. I may go to Urgent Care. Any thoughts?

I have never used liquid guaifenesin, only the long-release tablets, so have no idea of effectiveness. I have been taking it for so long (decades) that I have no recollection of the dosage when I started.
Also, not being a doc, I don't feel qualified to comment on you head congestion and ear pain. My personal rule of thumb is, if it's a cold, it will either begin to clear up or get worse in about 7 or 8 days. If not, I see my doc. Or if I am running a fever for more than 3 days or get sudden ear or sinus pain, off to the doc or Urgent Care.
Do you have the option to call your doc for advice?
