What are you taking for a cold?

sunnydays99 · November 2009

Yesterday my sore throat turned into a cold

I'm sucking back Halls for my throat but am wondering if I can take something more powerful. Sorry for such a 1st tri question!!

I gargled on salt water when I had a sore throat. And drank decaf hot tea with lots of honey. It went away in about two days. Also drank OJ and eat oranges for vitamin C.

I had an awful cold last week, and managed to get myself feeling better in a few days with just lots of tea (my m/w said echinacea was okay!), lots of sleep, cough drops, Airborne, and Vitamin C.

Hope you feel better soon!

I just got over a cold took Halls, Robatusum (sp?), and tylnol. I hear tylnol cold and sinus is ok to take too.

My doc OK'd regular sudafed (not the 12 hour ones or anything with a D on it) for my cold. I really wanted cough drops for the sore throat, but I couldn't do those because of the sugar (gestational diabetes) or put honey in my tea, so I finally tried just making myself a big cup of plain chicken broth. It was diabetes safe, soothed my sore throat and the heat helped with the sinuses as well.

I just had this last week. I took Tylenol Cold, and called the OB. She just called in a z-pack.

I did airborn every 4 hours (got the ok from my mw first) and then sudefed a couple times. I also got the ok for extra strength tylenol or tylenol cold and flu

for just a sore throat, i would drink decaf tea with honey and suck on lozenges do you have a fever? You could also take tylenol for the pain.

I am currently taking Sudafed for my cold (sinus issues and a virus going around) I have a list of my Dr. Approved Medications here it is:

Pain relief:

Tylenol

Cold Remedies:

Sudafed (ONLY)

Robitussin (guaifensein)

Vicks Vapor Rub

Throat lozenges (any brand)

Afrin Nasal spra (three day limit)

(edited because of my pregnancy brain sudafed PE is a no no, reg. sudafed is fine)

I have a sinus infection so my OB just called me in an antibiotic. For the symptoms I'm taking Sudafed during the day and Benadryl or Nyquil (liguidcaps NOT LIQUID) at night.
