Not sure if anyone is going to be on tonight but...

I'm sick. I seem to have picked up a chest cold. I don't have my list of meds I can't have with me as I am at work and I figured out I was sick on the way in to work.

I'm thinking of stopping at a 24 hr Walgreens on the way home. What can I take? I know it's gotta be tylenol based if it has a pain reliever in it. But beyond that, is mucinex ok? Anything I need to avoid besides aspirin and ibuprofen?

I have a nasty sore throat and a deep chest cough. I'm just sooooooo excited...I finally am getting past my WLS issues and then I get a cold. Plus, it seems everytime I get a cold like this, I get bronchitis too.

Sorry for the whining. Your help is appreciated!

Anna

I may not be much help - I still just take Nyquil.  It knocks me out more now since surgery, so sometimes I take a half dose if I need to get up oin the morning.  Sorry you are feeling yucky - get some rest.  Have sweet Christmas dreams!

Sorry ya feel crumby!  My PCP tells me to take Musinex but I am 2 yrs out.  I would double check with your WLS center.  Also if you have a sore throat I would go to one of those minute clinics because it's going around and better safe then sorry and then they give you meds to get rid of the gunk!
Hope ya feel better soon!
