Is Mucosy Cough And Tight Arm After Taking Advil For Congested Chest Normal?
Hi, my chest is congested. I have been taking robitussin dm for cough & chest congestion and Advil for a headache. The headache is gone but my head still felt a little swollen. The last Advil was taken this morning. I have been coughing up mucous. My right arm feels tight. Is that normal?

The chest congestion and the headache with your arm pain suggest a viral respiratory infection. The headache is better as u said but the head cannot be swollen. If you are coughing up mucous, then take good steam inhalations three times daily with a expectorant cough syrup about 10ml three times and rest with lots of fluid supplements.
If still not better then do a Chest xray and see a chest physician
