Sinus meds, cold meds, headache meds?

Hi OH Friends,
I am teacher and LOVE my job, but with the start of school and bugs going around I can't help but think of meds I might need in the near future.  What can I take if I catch something "fun" from my kiddos?  I don't take meds unless I am seriously sick.  Prior to surgery I took Nyquil/Dayquil for colds,  Advil sinus for sinus headaches.  What can I take now?  I am able to swallow my iron pill, calcium chewables, vitamin gummy's, and disolving B12.  

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

I was told I could take anything as long as it wasn't aspirin or ibuprofen until I'm completely healed. Nyquil and Dayqui liquid would work. Tylenol liquid for headaches. Not that Tylenol helps my headaches but you could try it.

Thank you, that is very helpful.  :-)  When exactly are we "completely healed"?

He said to wait 3 months to be sure. The nut also suggested using enteric coated aspirin (Ecotrin or others) just to be a little safer.
