|
| | This is a common question from patients dealing with cold and flu symptoms like mucus buildup and inflammation or swelling in their breathing passages. Because cold and flu are caused by viruses, certain medications like antibiotics will not make you better; however, as a family medicine doctor, my goal is to offer other effective ways to help patients find relief from uncomfortable symptoms like pain caused by congestion. | | | |

| "Cold and flu take time to recover from, but Mucinex Rapid+Clear works well to target and relieve symptoms, like pain and chest congestion, for a smoother recovery." | | | - Dr. Ali Rida | | |
| | As with any illness, resting and staying hydrated with fluids are important for recovery. As for managing symptoms, an over-the-counter solution like Mucinex Rapid+Clear delivers fast relief by targeting cold and flu symptoms like body aches, fever, and pain from mucus buildup. It combines acetaminophen, a maximum strength pain reliever, with guaifenesin, a powerful mucus-thinning ingredient, to help relieve the pain of congestion and loosen mucus to aid in a smoother recovery without the "stuffed up" feeling. | | |
