Any question answered...

Is there anything you can buy for chesty coughs over the counter that actually works?

I'm currently taking guaifenesin (which is probably helping) and phenylephrine hydrochloride, which probably isn't, but I can take it at the same time. As far as I know cough syrup type things are a waste of time, is this right?

back in the day, a doctor would prescribe a pipe for this kind of thing
