Hi Dana I take Mucinex MD

Get a second opinion on what could be going on with you @A MyCOPDTeam Member. I have known a lot of people with reflux but none have ever mentioned frothy mucus. Are you going to an ear, nose and throat specialist or is it your family doctor that is prescribing your medication? I hope today is a better day my friend. Hugs, Chris
