getting a cold....sore throat...

i'm coming down with a cold....and sore throat.....

what meds can i take.....i know lots of stuff has corn syrup which can cause dumping...

nyquil has alcohol which is also a no no.....

any suggestions?  i'm 4 weeks post op!

My doc said I could take any of the tylenol cold formulas, but he let me swallow pills one at a time from the beginning. Not sure how your doc feels about pills. liquid tylenol will have sugar.

I take "Cold-eze" lozenges -- they come in sugar free and have zinc in them that helps a lot.   Drink lots of fluids, take extra vitamin C, and if you feel achy, maybe a regular tylenol.   That's what works for me....
I haven't had a cold in ages....guess that makes me pretty healthy.

Hope you feel better soon,
