I called in sick this morning since I woke up with a sore throat, sore ear and stuffy nose. I went to on call and I have a minor ear infection and a cold.
She prescribed ear drops and told me to take sudafed and mucinex as well as tylenol and zinc lozenges.
I bought the sudafed but mucinex is $15!! Anyone have any experience with it? is it worth the price or is my $9 box of Sudafed (with 18 day time pills and 12 night time pills) enough? I'm not super congested, but a little bit and so far the 1 pill I have taken of the sudafed has already started to help.
I have to go back to the drugstore later to get my drops since they were not in stock at the time I got there, so it wouldn't be a big deal to get the mucinex then, I just wonder how different it is than the sudafed (she specifically said "sudafed AND mucinex" not OR)
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Re: ugh. home sick
