In addition to Mucinex, there is a product called Tussein Mucous and Cough Suppresant which has been excellent for me in keeping the mucous thin. Mucinex increased my blood pressure and was not an option for me. Tussein was given to me in the hospital while being treated for pneumonia. Twice a day keeps all well for me.

Thanks for caring! These products do not work for me unfortunately At night especially, it feels like I am trying to draw air through a straw the size of an ink-pen straw. The mucus just makes it worse. If I can cough it up, then my throat is somewhat clear to breathe...for about another hour. It builds right back up, but the airway is still swollen and hard to breathe. Thanks Jennifer. I hope you found an answer to your problem .
