Ok so what have you all been told you can take. I know tylenol for headaches but I mean for colds... I'm stuffy, achy, phlegm etc...

    My OB said Tylenol will help some but that is all I can take.  She says no cold meds.  I take my vitamin, OJ and plenty of fluids and wait it out...

    Call your OB to be sure, but mine said:

    -Regular tylenol (NO tylenol cold)

    -Regular Robitussin

    -Saline nose spray

    -Cough drops

     

    Needless to say, these will do little to treat your symptoms. Good luck and feel better!

    You can use plain saline solution.

    My approved meds list has robitussin for coughs (I'm assuming the plain stuff).

    For congestion: 

    Afrin Saline mist for nasal congestions (3 days only)

    Normal saline nose drops/nasal spray

    Sudafed, if you do not have high blood pressure

    Actifed

     

    For sore throat:

    Cepacol lozenges or gargle

    Halls lozenges

    Benedryl, Sudafed, Tylenol... that's all I've heard is ok to take.  Saltwater nasal rinse and gargle can help too.  If you're really stuffy put a pot of water on the stove to boil, I was amazed at how much it helped me.

    Before my sinus infection got out of control and nothing worked and I had to be put on antibiotics, I was using a saline nasal wash and taking a half dose of plain old Sudafed before bed.

    My obgyn said robitussin is ok to take as long as u get the one with no letters next to the name.
