or someone wiser than i? and can you tell me why? why? why? they put cough suppressant and expectorant together in the same bottle? i mean, they're trying to make the phlegm easier to cough up, right, and then...what?...not allow you to cough it up?

The cough suppressant usually isn't strong enough to make you stop coughing entirely

The answer is quite simple, actually. They don't want you to cough up the phlegm.


It's so much sexier to have you trying to hock (sp?) it up.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

LMAO! Yeah thats about the jest of it. They want it to build up so instead of a dry hacking cough you actually have something to hack up.

as you can see...ruminating while on vicks44 makes for some pretty stupid questions...do you think the addition of tylenol sinus and 'tussin into my flu soup may have compounded my...er...confusion lol
