I live in MI and am suffering with a cold! I had a sore throat, chest congestion, nasal congestion and low grade fever the first day and a half. Now it is all in my chest, loose but still coughing!! Does anyone reccommend Mucinex DM? And does anyone know how long the nagging cough will last???

I live in San Diego, and I have a slight head cold. Depends on what you are doing to treat it, shouldn't last more than a week, and if it does you should go to a doctor. ALso I have never tried that medicine, but I like tylenol extreme flu/cold I think its called its bright blue, and the bottle is triangular shapped that stuff is awesome.

I live in MN and took my 3 kids and myself in yesterday, one has one ear infection, the other has the stomach flu, the baby has two ear infections, tonsillitis and strep and I have tonsillitis and strep. We are all suffering from head congestion and chest congestion and were all coughing. I guess that proves one thing, no matter what you think you all have, you can have the same symptoms and all have something different. I would go into the doctor if your fever last for another day or so. As far as mucinex, I would recommend anything that has an expectorant but not a cough suppressant (coughing is helping you to move the fluid through your lungs, if you suppress that cough the fluids will just sit there and linger and cause more infections). Hope you feel better soon.

YES- IT HAS BEEN AROUND HERE FOR A WEEK NOW. THE MUCINEX DM DOES WORK BUT ALSO PLEASE DRINK ALOT OF WATER- IT HELPS TO THIN OUT THE MUCOUS IN THE CHEST BY HYDRATING YOUR BODY. OTHERWISE YOUL END UP COUGHING AND NOT COUGHING ANYTHING UP WHICH WIL LEAVE YOU WITH SORE LUNGS AND A HEADACHE
