Banded and Illness :(

Hi everyone,

I am starting to get chest congestion and a cold..typically I would take mucinex, etc but those pills would appear to me as too big to just take.

I wondered what others take to help relieve congestion and general colds when they've got the band?

Any advice is welcomed!

Thanks!
Steve

Liquid cough medicine and Liquid Tylenol products

Stay hydrated!!!!!

I use the childrens mucinex granuals it works good I just take 2-3 packets twice a day

I too use the children's medicine too.  Hope you feel better.  If it continues too long, you may want to see your doctor. 

Steve,

You can get chewable mucinex.  I recently had bronchitis and I lived on Robitussin DM and liquid tylenol.  The DM type really helps with clearing out your chest.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

They have childrens mucinex in liquid.  I am terrified to take any pills so I have converted to taking children's chewable and liquids of everything from tylenol to vitamins.

 I found that I was tighter when I have a cold. Don't be suprised but I hope it doesn"t happen to you.
Feel better

Everyone,

Thanks for the replies. I am heading to the store now to get a variety of the items you've all provided me! I am not tighter due to being sick..I may feel right now like the opposite but who knows!

Colds suck, fighting them makes me feel better and now I will be able to do that :)

Have a great weekend!

Steve

Don't forget the hot tea/coffee/cocoa...whatever your poison.  Just keep sipping the warm drinks to keep mucous from building up.
