Lingering Chest Congestion
Updated
Arlene Says:
I had a cold but now I have lingering chest congestion that builds up in lumps in my throat (thick slimy) and gags, choke, and make me feel like its drowning me when I am sleeping - I have to jump up out of bed and cough ad spit it out. This is different from regular cold and congestion which was usually watery. I have 8 Sulfamethoxazole =TMP DS pills and was wondering if it could help loosen the congestion?

No, that medication is an antibiotic that is used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
It would be best to consult your doctor, so they can provide an appropriate solution.
Has this ever happened, before? Are you on any medications?
