Question:
What can I take for the common cold?

I have a runny nose, sore throat, pressure on the old ears and in general feel like crap and have for 3 days. I am 10 months post-op and am not sure what I can/can't take. Any suggestions would be appreciated.    — Kathy J. (posted on November 9, 2002)

I had a bad chest cold at around 9 months. I took Comtrex caplets for a "deep chest cold" and they worked quite well with no upset to my pouch. You just need to avoid aspirin based and time released meds.

You can take any Tylenol product, like Tylenol Cold and Flu. Hope you feel better soon!
