I'm getting sick

Hi guys,  I believe I am getting sick.  I was so tired yesterday and had went to bed early.  I woke up this morning and my throat hurts and I have a cough.  NOT COOL... What can I take?  I know we are limited to what we can have.  My tummy and left side hurt a little from coughing and that just ****** me off because I was doing good with that.  Alls I wanna do is go back to bed and sleep.  WHATEVER I guess.....  Please let me know what I can take.  Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hugs Marsha

you poor thing!!  Getting a cold just out of surgery is not fun!!  What works for me is Sudafed (red).  Small enough to swallow.  Robitussin has a SF cough syrup that works too..  Lots of rest and water always is good.  Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the ideas I will give them a try.  We can have sudafed I didn't know that I know we are limited to what we can have.  Thanks Dana and have a great day....   Hugs Marsha

I had a cold a couple weeks ago and I was told I could take the liquid Tylenol Cold med.  It helped, but the taste was not the greatest. Feel better. Debi

Thanks for the ideas......Nothing can taste as bad as the stuff we had to drink the night before WOW.............. Thanks Marsha

 I hope you feel better soon! Get some rest and take care of you!!

 

Thanks Angela I will get rest when all my kids go home.  Talk to you later.  Hugs Marsha

Just be sure you take something you can take every 4 hours -- and a quick release so it releases before your body flushes it out.  If you take a 12 hour one or a time release, with your new absorbtion, it will be out of your system quickly and you can't take another for many hours.   Ask the pharmacist about a quick release SF -- she may have a diabetic one behind the counter they don't have on the shelf.  And as far as taste, plug your nose and go.....none of them are as bad as the flush crap the day before surgery!!!! XXOO  -- hope you feel better.

Man nothing can be as bad as the crap we had to drink the night before surgery!!!!!!!!!! That crap was nasty..........Thanks for the ideas....  Hugs Marsha

Oh Marsha...Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well.  Great ideas above.  Coughing definately isn't cool this soon after surgery.  OUCH!  I would get some zinc lozenges, they normally lessen the affects of a cold and it goes away faster as well.  They'll make your throat feel better too.  Listen to your body too.....it says it wants sleep....let it sleep if you can.  Take care of yourself and push the water!
