Looks like I've come down with a major cold today. My nose hasn't been running like this for years.
So what kind of cold medications can I take after RNY? I know we're supposed to avoid NSAIDs but I'm not at all sure what to do for a cold.
Any help appreciated.

Try Tylenol and pseudafed. In the evening, I use Tylenol PM. It has benadryl, which is an antihistamine that helps with congestion. One bad side effect is it may make you sleepy. But, with a cold, you should be getting alot of rest, right.
Also use Zicam.
Both Ricola and Halls have a sugar free cough drops.
Hope you fell better soon!

Thanks so much for the reply. I don't even want to venture out in the cold (snowing here) to get any meds. But, I have some benadryl on hand and will use that.
You're right, I don't care about it making me sleepy. I really think the sleep will help.
Thanks again.
