Comments:		I was experiencing a persistent cough that was not going away. In the mornings I also had nasal congestion. I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. The doctor prescribed me Tussionex and told me to take a spoonful once a day for 7 days. It started to work very quickly. Aside from a little drowsiness and dry mouth I did not experience any serious side effects.
