Cold Medications???

I feel like I'm coming down with a doozy of a cold. My son had it last week and ended up with severe bronchitis. Anyone know what kind of cold meds we can take? Hugs, Nancy -105

Nancy, My doctor prescribes allegraD when I've got bronchitis. Our pediatrician recommends benedryl allergy since it doesn't have the side effects of increasing heart rate/blood pressure. On the down side, it will make you sleepy. Hope you're feeling better soon Cyndi

Hey Nancy, I would defiantly recommend the Benadryl it will make you sleepy but in a day you will feel so much better.... Hope this helps..... Cecilia 250/144/134 soon

I use(d) Nyquil with no problems. It contains an antihistamine, decongestant, non-aspirin pain reliever and alcohol. The alcohol didn't bother my pouch. I only used it at night. During the day, I used a decongestant and tylenol - Sudafed. The decongestants don't usually make ya drowsy like the antihistamines do. I'm sure you could also do something like TheraFlu or if you have a lot of coughing, you could take Mucinex. You want to be sure to avoid things that contain aspirin, advil, aleve, etc. Hope you feel better soon! irene

Nancy, I was going to post the same question. I have a head cold with a killer headache. Nyquil at least knocks me out so I can't feel it. But, this morning the headache was so bad that nothing is helping. Oh and like yours, this is a gift from my kids. It isn't exactly what I was hoping for for my birthday. Hope you feel better soon.
