Is There Any Medication Available To Help Break Up Of Phlegm?

I have a dry non productive cough for the past 7 days, local doctor prescribed anti-biotics and Mucinex DM...but it doesn't seem to be getting any better or help in breaking up any phlegm. Seems worse at night when lying down. I have a constant sticky substance in the middle of the throat and upper chest area. Is there any other kind of medication available to help break it up ?
