I am almost 6 mos. post-op and have been battling a cold for about 5 days.  I am unsure what over the counter medications I can take.  What will I absorb and what won't make me dump?  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

I take Tylenol Cold & Flu EZ tabs. They go down easy and work pretty well.
Hope you feel better soon!

i have had my first cold since surgery for the last two days.  My surgeon reccomended Tylenol Cold multi-symptom.  i have the daytime and the nighttime caplets.  They are working really well.
Good luck!

If you have a cough, you can have diabetic tussin cough syrup. It's gross but it works. Hope you feel better!
