How does Mucinex taken orally to the stomach work to loosen congestion in the lungs?

by tjmwatson

Question by John S.: How does Mucinex taken orally to the stomach work to loosen congestion in the lungs?
This is the same action as an oral expectorant. I know medications taken orally get absorbed into the blood stream whch can then impact any organ. I’m just curious about the specific action that takes place to cause congestion to become dislodged from your lungs. Does the medicine change the consistency of the congestion to make it less adhesive to the tissues of the lungs?

Answer by superman71
Mucinex is an expectorant it gets broke down in the stomach and the medicine in conjunction with drinking lots of water causes the mucous in the lungs to liquefy and easier to cough and get out of the system. This by the way is an excellent product it is Guaifenesin also found in cough syrups. the best thing about this is its 12 hour time release so that it keeps working. Dr’s almost always prescribe something with this ingredient in it because it works and has the least impact on any organs other than the lungs. hope this helps

Is throat congestion a symptom of lung cancers like mesothelioma, etc?

Question by : Is throat congestion a symptom of lung cancers like mesothelioma, etc?
I know they say a cough is a common sign of lung cancers and chest pain. But can the cough be produced by congestion that sits in the back of the throat like right below the addams apple? It’s almost like post nasal drip dripping down the back of the throat and it sits there and makes me cough. Yea I know this could be a cold, but could this also be a symptom of lung cancers?

How can you tell if a cough is due to lung congestion or just sinus drainage?

Question by forthelackofoxygen: How can you tell if a cough is due to lung congestion or just sinus drainage?
I’ve been sick since the third week of January. I had bronchitis, but got over that. I’ve had two sinus infections, double conjunctivitis, nausea, and double ear infections since.

I got better from the first sinus infection, but this second one is lingering and I keep adding symptoms, like the conjunctivitis.

Today, I really started coughing again. I think it’s from my lungs, but I don’t want to go to the doctor and have them tell me it’s just drainage.

How can you tell the difference?

Best answer:

Answer by Jamie N
well sinus drip, your bring up mucus, also when you lay down you may feel it dripping down the back of your throat..if it is from your lungs your chest will hurt, and possibly your ribs..and you will feel the cough down much lower than you would with sinus drip..try taking a benadryl, if you get temporary relief then you know it’s sinuses

DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org Tuberculosis, MTB or TB (short for tubercle bacillus) is a common and in many cases lethal infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active MTB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit their saliva through the air. Most infections in humans result in an asymptomatic, latent infection, and about one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease, which, if left untreated, kills more than 50% of its victims. The classic symptoms are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the last giving rise to the formerly prevalent colloquial term “consumption”). Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. Diagnosis relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), a tuberculin skin test, blood tests, as well as microscopic examination and microbiological culture of bodily fluids. Treatment is difficult and requires long courses of multiple antibiotics. Social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in (extensively) multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. Prevention relies on screening programs and vaccination, usually with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine. One third of the world’s population is thought to be infected with M …

Answer by Memere RN/BA
A cough can be the product of congestion, allergies, common cold but not always lung cancer. If we all worried about lung cancer when we coughed, we’d have a society of hypochondriacs. Post nasal drip is definitely a cause for cough as well. so is air pollution. No, you have no reason the believe or feel like lung cancer is part of you. There are so many reasons for congestion and throat irritation. Go to the doctor and see what they say. Feel better.
