I woke up really sick with a cold. Can I take cough syrup or losengers for my burning throat?

What do you recommend. ?

Thank you

I asked the same of my Nurse and I was told no problem. Just no inflammatory based meds.

My biggest fear is getting a "MAN COLD" and having an even more miserable time.

Curious to read what others think but I'd do the cough syrup based on my interaction with the Health Nurse.

Thank you Wayne.

I also boiled slices of fresh ginger and made a ginger tea with lemon and spenda. It helped as well.

You can get sugar free lozenges. i grabbed some at Shoppers Drug Mart when i was first on opti.

I cant think of the name but ask yoru pharmacist.

Feel better soon

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!
