Can you take Claritin for a cough?
An antihistamine, for example "Benadryl" is a histamine blocker. It blocks cells normal reaction to them like a runny nose or itching, etc. It is normally recommended for allergy symptoms like a runny nose, itching, etc. Therefore, it will likely not do anything to help your cough or your cough-symptoms. Decongestants, like Sudafed, are given to loosen up the mucus and phlegm in the nose and throat. When your head feels all stuffed up and you feel you cannot breathe, you may need a decongestant. This will cause a lot of the mucus to loosen up so you can blow your nose and much of it comes out. For a cough, it is more likely that you would be recommended a combination of a decongestant with an expectorant. This type of medication loosens up mucus and phlegm and helps you cough it up or blow it out.

Why do you always feel like you have to cough up mucus but you never can get any up?
A genetic disorder called 'Cystic Fibrosis', maybe responsible for the over production of mucus. Otherwise, production of mucus is your bodies reaction to dust or other elements that could damage the lungs. The part of the airway that allows the mucus to move up, is called the cilia (tiny hairs that brush the mucus up away from the lungs) which may be damaged not allowing the mucus to travel up and out the airway. The cause of not being able to get rid of mucus or it being too thick could also be because of your water intake. The higher the intake, the thinner the mucus and also the more regularly the mucus is cleaned.
