Is Promethazine-DM Syrup Advisable For Chest Congestion?
Can Promethazine-DM syrup be used for clearing congestion in the chest from coughing? I have been coughing and had a runny nose for one week now. I took Nyquill but it only stopped the runny nose somewhat but did nothing for the cough. I have a lot of yellow mucus also both blowing my nose and bringing up phlem when I cough. Thank you. XXXX

Hello,
Promethazine can provide symptomatic relief from allergic cough. If there is chest congestion or signs of infection antibiotics may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
