does mucinex work? whats the best way to get rid of mucus in your chest and bronchial tubes?

Question:

Answers:
Mucinex is a brand name for a drug that has been around for years called guaifenesin.. It's an expectorant which means it enhances the output of respiratory tract fluid..This drug will give you symptomatic relief of respiratory conditions characterized by cough and presence of mucus. It's a great drug when used correctly..I wouldn't take more than 400mg four times a day..Side effects are usually low and might be headache, dizziness, or slight nausea..So small, frequent meals might help..Don't take it longer than a couple of weeks before you see your doctor again..A Pulmonologist might be help full since this would be their specialty..Good Luck.

Other Answers:
One good way is to exercise.The question is why do u have excess mucus. Is it pneumonia, bronchitis? It may be best to see your doctor for an evaluation. If it's not something serious it will probably be self-limited.
