How do NAC (Fluimucil) and Ambroxol (Mucosolvan) compare for sticky phlegm, and can I safely use both at the same time?

Does Zyrtec work for the common flu?

Zyrtec D contains an “anti histamine” which reduces running nose, itchiness and allergies. It also contains a “decongestant” which will reduce the block nose. Yes it probably will help with some of your symptoms. The “usual steroid nasal spray” is meant for long term use, so I’m not surprised if it doesn’t work in 2 days, perhaps you can try a month of usage. If you are not better, you might need to see your doctor to check if it is other more serious problems. Take care!

What could be the cause of persistent phlegm without cough or flu symptoms, and how can it be treated?

The source of phlegm can be from conditions from the nose, lungs and stomach. Common causes include: 1. Nose & sinuses - Common cold, Allergic Rhinitis (sensitive nose), Sinusitis (sinus infection) etc 2. Lungs - bronchitis (inflammation of the lungs), pneumonia (infection of the lungs), smoker's lungs etc 3. Stomach - acid reflux from the stomach 4. Dehydration One of the most common reason for phlegm in the throat that I see in my practice is postnasal drip (mucous flowing down from the back of the nose down to the throat).
