this question is for people out of surgery

what can you take for a cold coming on? I'm coughing and achy. no sore throat yet, but itchy throat.... everything liquid has sugar in it....so what can I take? Ter

teri, why dont you post on the national message boards and see what other people take. carol I think we all would like to know this one?

Good Idea Carol...I will Ter

stick with tylenol products. they make all the same cold/sinus products as all the others, so you should be able to find something. check out zicam, as well. i'm not positive if it's an NSAID. i don't believe it is and it's always helped me out as soon as i started feeling icky. kristen

Kris, Will do...I'm not feeling good today at all...All I want to do is sleep...the coughing bothers me at night. I don't think I'm getting enough fluids in...I just can't do it...I'm trying harder everyday, but its not easy...are you doing good with the fluids? Ter

i think i've hit my 3rd week slump i keep hearing people talk about.. i think my body is finally realizing that i've been starving it for the last 2 and a half weeks, so i feel really tired and weak. eating is fine, but the liquids aren't going down as easily. i'm not doing too badly, but i certainly should be doing better. hope you start feeling better, teri.
