Guaifenisen (which I probably spelled wrong) is the only maintenance drug I currently take. I get a generic without the dyes and without being time released. I react badly to the additives and get side effects form them but if I am taking an appropriate dose for what I need, I do not get side effects from the drug itself. It helped me get off steroids after two failed first attempts landed me in the ER. I think it can be very helpful. Just make sure the person taking it gets enough fluids and salt and other electrolytes.

I use this on my very very small nine year old. It has managed to keep us away from the hospital several times this year. I was told to make sure it did not have a cough supressant in it probably b/c coughing out the stuff keeps the bacteria down, I don't really know. My son knows when he needs it and will let me know b/c sometimes I can't tell. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for all the information. Alexa is doing better now after a whole week on antibiotics, Zyrtec and Mucinex. I know the sinus infections are common on CFers, but I would like to know what can I do to prevent them from happening again. She wasn't able to sleep when she had the horrible sinus infection.
