| | Expert On Call: Chest Congestion | |  | Dr. Ashgan Elshinawy
Board-certified Pulmonologist | | | | If you're experiencing a cold, environmental irritation, or respiratory infection, you likely have chest congestion—a build-up of excess mucus that can be difficult to get rid of. For long-lasting relief, Dr. Ashgan Elshinawy, Board-certified Pulmonologist, discusses how to treat chest congestion at the source. | |

| | How can I get relief from stubborn chest congestion? | |
|
|
| | When chest congestion is left untreated, it can lead to a phenomenon called mucus plugging. This is when excess mucus thickens and sticks to your airways, making it difficult to get rid of without a productive cough. | | | For those who struggle to cough up mucus, an expectorant like Mucinex® 12-Hour treats chest congestion at the source by thinning and loosening mucus for easier removal. Its bi-layer tablet provides immediate release and long-lasting relief from stubborn chest congestion for up to 12 hours, allowing you to breathe easier and get back to your daily routine. | | |

| | | • | Sleep with your head slightly elevated. Lying flat puts additional stress on lungs and airways. | | • | Drink more fluid—dehydration can cause mucus to thicken and become even more difficult to expel. | | • | Take an expectorant like Mucinex® 12-Hour that treats chest congestion at the source by thinning and loosening excess mucus. | | | | | |
