"Doctor's Warning: Side Effects of DayQuil and Mucinex Revealed"

Dr. Meghan Martin, a pediatric emergency medicine doctor, warns against using multi-symptom medications like DayQuil and Mucinex due to potential side effects such as severe drowsiness and blurred vision. She advises against suppressing coughs and recommends using saline sprays to clear mucus instead. Dr. Martin also suggests using acetaminophen and ibuprofen for fever reduction, honey for cough relief in children over 12 months, and electrolyte solutions to keep kids hydrated. She advises against expensive thermometers and recommends using a normal digital thermometer instead.

Mucinex Disappears from Shelves, Shoppers Outraged

Shoppers are claiming that Mucinex, an over-the-counter (OTC) medication, is being pulled from pharmacy shelves, sparking outrage on social media. Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that phenylephrine, the main ingredient in many OTC cold and cough products, is not effective as a nasal decongestant. While the FDA has not officially deemed phenylephrine "not effective" or removed it as a recognized ingredient, CVS Pharmacy has voluntarily removed some medications containing oral phenylephrine. However, the removal of Mucinex has not been confirmed, and the current social media uproar may be unfounded, as Mucinex products are still available for purchase.
