LOVE mucinex in this house.Doesn't make you sleepy OR hyped up, just dries up the sinuses and THAT was the only thing that worked When DD 11 had Pnuemonia. Good stuff!
If you want to get better, go to your local health food store and pick up some grapefruit seed extract (I use the drops) along with some Bragg's ACV. Drink you a medicine cap full of the ACV morning and night, along with taking the grapefruit seed extract morning, noon, and add bedtime. I take mine in cranberry pomegranate juice because it is very bitter. Be sure to stir it up well too. Give it two to three days (probably not even that long) and you should have your cold kicked as long as it isn't bacterial. Anything bacterial, you will have to go get some antibiotics to treat.
