Cold medicine?

 Ok so I am coming down with a cold.... runny nose, sore throat, headache....the works.   
Is it safe to take Nyquil????  If not, what should I take?  I can't take this icky sick feeling anymore....

I have my first cold since surgery last October.  I have taken liquid tylenol cold and flu.  I don't know about Nyquil though, sorry

There is a LOT of sugar in NyQuil.  It is my cure all but I am not bypassed.

 I've tried finding the nutrient ingredients on nyquil (and other cold meds) but can't find them..... do you have a specific website you go to?

It's on the Vick's website:

 Awesome, thanks!  

I started to get a cold a couple of weeks ago, and the pharmicist told me Clariton D. Amazingly it worked very well. I took the 24 hour kind. I also did Nyquil at night, no problems, and this helped me sleep, no dumping from it. I was told it was ok to use it. As for the sugar content, I looked at it like it's not something I'm going to take a lot of, for a long period of time, so the extra calories I will just walk another block or so to work it off. I only took both for about 4 days and it cleared up

 I was also worried about the alcohol content.... I haven't dumped on anything yet so I didn't want to risk anything! :O)  But hopefully I can just take something simple over the counter.... The price we pay for wanting to be thin! 

Hope you are feeling better!!!

 Thanks!  I am actually on hold with the dr's office cause it's not going away....  :O(  Took some diabetic tussin but pfft that didn't help. lol  Hopefully it goes away soon... I hate this runny nose already!
