Bad Breath

Cough Suppressants

Delsym and Mucinex DM are the main cough suppressants available over-the-counter. Delsym (dextromethorphan) is best for a DRY persistent cough. Mucinex DM (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan) is best for a WET or phlegmy cough. When taking mucinex DM or mucinex anything, it is very important to drink plenty of fluids because mucinex (guaifenesin) is believed to work by increasing the volume of secretions thereby reducing the viscosity of thick secretions that may be present in the trachea and bronchi with upper respiratory infections. To use an analogy, it's like adding water to syrup to thin it out. As such, mucinex works best in a well-hydrated body. For more info on how mucinex and its variants work, click here. Honey based products also help with coughing if an irritated throat is present.
