How Can Chronic Cough While On Lexapro Be Treated?
Hello. My daughter, 16, 125 lbs, is on lexapro and has a very bad, phlegm cough. I ve read not to use any cough med with DM, but, how about Mucinex (600 mg guaifenesin). Could that be used without negative drug interaction? Please advise. Sincerely MandyP.

Hi,
Consult a physician and start a short course of antibiotics.
Expectorant cough syrups can be added.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
