Medical Trivia: Angioedema
In Episode 305, the patients' angioedema (swelling in their throats) was found to be due to C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency.
Question: What medication mentioned by Chris Rock in Bigger and Blacker could you use to treat the most common side effect of a medication that is classically associated with causing angioedema?
Answer: Robitussin. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (used to lower blood pressure) are classically associated with causing angioedema and ... a cough. And nothing cures cough like Robitussin (see below).

Chris Rock: When I was a kid, I had to be near-death to see a doctor, so my daddy got into the habit of putting Robitussin on everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!
[Impersonating his father and himself]
Chris Rock: Daddy, I got asthma! "Well here, take some Robitussin!" Daddy, I got cancer! "Here, take some Robitussin!" Daddy, I broke my leg! "Here, put some Robitussin on it... that's right, let the Robitussin sink in there."
