Post covid?

I am over covid but have had a problem with light headiness. Two doctors told me to take Mucinex and the prescription nasal spray I was given. My question is which Mucinex to buy and does it cause drowsiness. If it does I need suggestions of when I should take it? I do work days. Thank you.

Mucinex 600 mg, this medicine is not expected to cause drowsiness but I recommend you to consult it with your PCP

Headache is a common side effect after Covid. It can subside several days to weeks after a Covid infection. Mucinex contains guaifenisen which is a cough expectorant, typically best taken before bedtime to help you sleep. Side effects include drowsiness and dizziness. Hope this helps.
