Need some help
I was just reading my bariatric binder last night. They said not to take cold medicine if it has alcohol in it. I have had a cold this last week and have been using a Quill knockoff.

I had my surgery Sept 24 and i had a little cough that day but my Chest Xray was clear. Since that day my cough has gotten very bad and I'm coughing up nasties now. I am using guaifenesin during the day to loosen up my chest and neo citran at night that has a cough suppressant so i can sleep. NyQuil is tylenol based so it's okay to take as long as you don't have high BP. the dextromethorphan in it can be bad for your blood pressure. Hope this helps.
It was also allowed for me, without issues.
