Go to a doctor and they'll set you up with good cough syrup. As far as I know, you can't get robo over the counter here.

This is the one I go to. It's in Apgujeong near exit 7. If you need more detailed instructions, send me a PM or reply here.[/img] |

| I usually take some stuff called "pan-pi-rin" (I can't type in hangul on this computer). It is sold over the counter in a box of five little bottles for about 6,000won. I'd say it works pretty well. |

| The company that makes Haben sys on their website they make Haben Power (with guaifenacin,) but I've never ever seen it in a drugstore and asked quite a few pharmacists who have never seen it, either. |

| Thanks for the replies. Strangely enough, I've seen a doctor about this, he prescribed some pills, but they did diddy-squat. My school nurse recommended some cough syrup so I'll try it and see what happens.. |

There's a foreign item store in Sinchon close to the Hyundai Department store. You have to ask for cold medicine, as all that stuff is hidden away in a drawer behind the counter. I got my Nyquil and Theraflu from there. |
