Headcold Remedy--post RNY

Help , please! I have a very stuffy head, itchy nose and watery eyes--in other words a head cold.  I'm post RNY and unsure what OTC meds I may be allowed to take.  Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!  I'll call the docs office in the morning, but need some relief now! Thanks!

I have been stuffy this week too.. and I took some of my daughter's OTC chewable Clairitin.  It worked!  I went to Walmart tonight and they have an adult chewable too.  WHOOO HOOOO!  The kids one is grape and it tasted good.  I am not sure about this other, but at least it is something to help out the stuffies.

hey Jackie, I have had a head cold since the first week of August.  Any liquid cold medicine will work.  This is the worst cold I have ever had.  I have taken a Zpack of anitbiotics, lots of Robitussin and Nyquil.  This one is a doosie~ Dianef

I am glad to see that I am not the only one going through this "HEAD COLD" stuff.  Jennifer got o here the other day asking about the same thing.  I responded to her and I'll be dog gone if I didnt come down with the same thing.  LOL   I have had mine for 3 days now, with a low grade fever.  So I think its more of a head cold than sinus.  I will take Jennifer's advice and get some claritin. Wonder if sudefed will work?  I hope you get to feeling better soon.  Oh and right now I am taking Tylenol sinus and severe congestion and its not cleared up yet.  LOL

Hey Jackie, I was checking in to see if you felt any better.  (as I am sneezing)  This cold seems to be lingering on forever with me.  I have taken Dayquil and NightQuil with no adverse affects.  And they so help with my runny nose. Keep well and let us know how you are feeling. Diane

Thanks, everyone for your remedies and wishes for a recovery.  I am sorry it has taken me so long to answer Diane's message, but I feel as if I have ben in a "apathy fog!"  I finally went to a doc and was diagnosed with a sinus infection.  Thank Goodness for antibiotics.  I am finally re-emerging into the world again!  I truly hope we All feel better really soon!
