Can I take Tylenol cold/flu for a bad cold?

Help.  Sudafed is not doing the trick.

My doc said only Sudafed, didn't help me either. Hope you feel better soon!

yes (at least that's what my dr. said- but as you can see, the answers vary). didn't your dr. give you a list of things you could take?

My doctor said it was okay.  She even okay-ed the Tylenol Cold and Flu Multisymptom.  Feel better soon!

My doc said to avoid taking any medication during the 1st tri.  I am just getting over a horrible cold and didn't take anything for it.  I survived.

The only med on the list she gave me for colds/congestion was Sudafed.

Nope. Anything that is "multi-symptom" is unsafe to take. A good website to look up meds is Drugs.com

There's another site called www.safefetus.com where you can look up different safety ratings for medications.

My doctor said that I shouldn't take Sudafed at all during pregnancy, but everyone's different. He also said that I needed to quit using Proactiv, but I can't give up the cleanser (which does not contain salicylic acid, unlike the rest of the kit).

My doc also ok'ed Zyrtec.

I have terrible cold and my doc/nurse said tylenol cold/sinus> all thought it didnt help very much it was nice to be able to take something that makes my nose not-run like a faucet.

I just took tylenol cold and sinus.  I took them 3 weeks ago when i had a cold too.  My Dr. said it would relieve congestion and sinus headaches.
