I am suffering from a cold which brought on a sore throat and its very annoying and painful. What can I take?

Anything but NSAIDS. So cough drops, or that throat spray, or Tylenol cold medicine, or something like Nyquil (just read the label to make sure no ibuprofen or asprin in it). Ask the pharamcist if you're not sure is something contains NSAIDS or not.

Cepacol sugar free lozenges are numbing, so it helps a lot with the soreness, too! Feel better!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
