I saw a doctor and they prescribed me cough medicine. How long will it take to start working?

It usually takes a few days for inhalers to take full effect, typically 2 to 4 days. To help them work more quickly, if you have nasal secretions, you can use a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day for at least 5 days. This can help reduce the amount of mucus flowing into your airways and assist your body in better controlling its secretions.
