I THINK I AM GETTING A COLD

I HAVE THIS SCRATCHY THROAT AND WEIRD FEELING IN MY NOSE. WHAT CAN I TAKE THAT IS OK FOR ME?? SHOULD I CALL THE DR OR NOT?? I HATE BEING SICK FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY INFO!!! HUGS JUDY

Benedryl and Tylenol Cold products are the only 2 I remember from the "safe" list. I can dig out my book a little later. I hope you're feeling better soon!!

Ok... thanks so much for the help.....Hugs Judy

You can also take Sudafed. I got a really bad cold 3 weeks after surgery and I took Sudafed and sugar free cough drops that I found at Meijer. Meijer also makes a sugar free Tussin DM if you get a bad cough. I hope you feel better. Stacey B

Thanks so much!! Will look for something at the store when I go... Hugs Judy

Studies indicate "chicken noodle soup" help the common cold. how? I dont know. soothing warm liquids perhaps. drink lots of fluids stay warm (((((THIS MEANS WARM))))))))))) tylenol cold and sudafed are two good ones also, half water half orange juice (lower the sugar content) might help too. GET WELL SOON STACEY W

THANKS STACEY I WILL GET SOME CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WHEN I GET TO THE STORE.... HUGS JUDY PS HOW IS JOE?????

I'm glad you asked, Judy. I started with this scratchy throat two days ago, went to talk this morning and the words would only come out in a whisper. I didn't know what I could take. Hope you make it through the holidays without it getting worse. Happy Holidays! Marie

Oh I hope I don't lose my voice...LOL I am prone to that happening!!! I used vicks last night on my neck and chest helped some but I am off to the store for some meds and chicken soup....Hope you feel better!!! Merry Christmas!!!! Hugs Judy

He was not very talkative but we did talk for 1/2 hour. He is calling me on Sunday at my sisters. He's lonely. (I can cure that)...other than that.....he got my email and said we should chat. I did tell him. Stacey
