Would Mucinex Help Covid?

Lozenges, cough drops, and over-the-counter medicines such as dextromethorphan (Robitussin and others) and guaifenesin (Mucinex and others) can help with the cough that often comes with COVID-19. Dextromethorphan could be the choice for the dry cough that COVID-19 is best known for; guaifenesin that for wetter coughs.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) can all be used for pain relief from COVID-19 if they are taken in the recommended doses and approved by your doctor.

Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen or NSAIDs may help alleviate fever and body aches related to COVID-19.

Before taking any over-the-counter medications, we recommend consulting with a health care provider.
