I have had a cold for the last week and went to the store and purchased MucinexDM within a few hours my cough was gone and all mucus turned to clear. But the only problem i had with it was i was knocked out within 30 mins!! did not except this to happen... then i woke up late for work and did not hear my alarms or anything else for the matter.. so try if you like but dont make any plans to do anything for the next 12 hours.. plan on being drowsy for the next 24hrs after taking just one.....

I tend to stock up on tissues, so there were several boxes of different brands of facial tissue in my storage closet.  I grabbed a box without looking at it, opened it up, and began to wipe my nose.  I was startled by the very familiar Vicks odor because I wasn't expecting it.  I looked more closely at the box and noticed that Puffs added the classic Vicks menthol-alcohol-astringent-medicinal smelling ingredient to my tissues.  I can see how someone who is very congested may find this to be a relief; but honestly, I found it to be just awful.  My eyes started to burn and tear immediately and I hadn't even put the tissue near my eyes.  — I do go through quite a lot of tissues because of my chronic...

It contains camphor, a petroleum product that can be toxic if absorbed directly into the body. — — The proper ways to apply VapoRub are: — —   _ On the chest or throat (to congestion relief), or — —   _ On sore muscles (to increase circulation) — — See the warnings on the VapoRub pages at vicks.com—or just do a search for "vaporub" and "nostrils" and you'll see many references to this. — — VapoRub is okay if used safely. However, I prefer to use other products that don't contain petroleum. It's just not necessary. —...

I suffer from sinus and throat infections come and go as they please. When my throat started to itch and feel uncomfortable one of my co-workers gave me a package of Alka Seltzer Cold & Cough "Citrus flavor" and told me to drink it now, and go buy me some more and keep on drinking it.  Even though I've heard it takes around 20 mins. to feel better, I didn't really feel better right away. I took another dose and the next morning I was feeling so much better, and by the second day of taking the Alka Seltzer every 4 hours I was in excellent condition. I usually like to let people know when something doesn't work, so they don't waste their time and money. I decided to take the time to write about it because THIS DOES...

I started taking it when I first heard it helped protect you from catching colds from others when you fly. I always take Airborne before and I after I fly, but I also take it anytime i get the feeling I'm coming down with a cold. I would recommend this product to anyone--it's...

I do feel that it does help!  At the first sign of the sniffles or of a sore throat, I start taking it. Usually by the second day my symptoms are gone.  I also feel that it gives me more energy ....I dont take vitamins on a regular basis, and can feel the difference when I am taking Airborne. I like the pink grapefruit flavor best! ...

It helped me  sleep  very comfortable with out coughing I'm glad I tried it. My husband hates the taste of robitussin wait till he smells this one, if anyone is brave to try this, I think it  work really good just have a drink or take some honey  right after to get rid of the  ammonia taste . I most like will buy it again. —...

I am also pregnant though, and I've heard that colds are worse and last longer when pregnant, so perhaps this is more my problem than the Gel Swabs not being effective. I'm willing to give it another shot in the...

In the middle of the night, I cough and it's hard to breathe out of my nose. I didn't want to keep using nose spray because after 3 days of nasal spray use, the nose spray will eat away at the cartalidge in your nose. I'd like to keep my nose so I use Vicks Vapor Rub. I put Vicks on my chest and under my nose. Not only does it stop my coughing, but it opens up my nasal passages which allows me to get to sleep. —...

But, I took it one day when I had a cold so that I could get to work and be OK. Well, when I got to work, I started to feel really dizzy and had a sensation of being on drugs. I never took it again after that because I work around kids and I was more alert with nothing in my system than I was with Kroger's Daytime medicine. If you want to get the feeling like you're messed up on drugs, take Kroger's Daytime medicine. If you want to feel alert and healthy during the day while you have a cold, take something...

But when my husband got sick I decided to try it out. He took it at the first sign of a sore throat, and was feeling better in hours! — Then, it was time to try it for myself. I woke up one morning (about 3am) with a sore throat. NEVER good news with me. A sore throat usually means Ill be sick for 3 days. I remembered the Zicam, took some, went back to bed and woke up feeling amazing! No signs of a cold whatsoever! — I tell everyone I know..and even some I dont! :) —...

It definatley lives up to its claims and certainly had me feeling better after using it.  Sometimes when I am suffering from a cold it is very difficult to fall asleep when I am congested, and Vicks targets the congestion and gets you breathing easier for a more comfortable and sleep filled night.  The only drawback with Vicks is the unpleasant medicine smell, if it could only come in cinnamon or lavender that would be a great improvement.  Not so nice smell aside, Vicks is a great...

Live in Houston Tx and we recently had some particles in the air that really got to me. I had serious congestion and a horrible cough. Immediately after taking Mucinex DM, my coughs became more productive in that mucas just didn't stay stubbornly stuck in my throat like it had so many times before. I usually get this cough about once a year and before Mucinex it lasted about a month! Now it last about a week maybe a week and a half if its a bad one. It did make me feel a little weird but it is worth it. Just the relief from the pressure of congestion is worth...

I spoz walking through my  flooded parking lot at 17 degrees out didn't help much...Had to get the truck to higher ground, what can I say. — I feel bad for my co-workers and husband and cat that are stuck hearing my wonderful chest congested cough.  Oh, I could call the geese home with this cough and as I sit here I think I just heard a few geese went flying by.    I turned to Ricola original herb cough drops.  I am not to hip on their TV ads, but I must say this is very soothing to my throat and it had mellowed out my honking cough.  Ahhhh peace or at least not as much hard coughing as I have been doing. — Ricola cough drops are made of natural herbs that consist of elder, horehound, hyssop, lemon balm, linden , mallow, peppermint, sage, thyme, wild thyme...
