Who has a cold?

grrrrr. I've got this awful cold/sinus/throat/who knows what thing going. I'm on day 3. Let's just say Tylenol cold/sinus does nothing. Cough drops are on my approval list, but I've been taking a few ricolas. The list just said cough drops are ok, so I am assuming those are.

I'm trying to hold out a couple of more days until I ask for a prescription. I was hoping OTC stuff would handle it, but I'm not so sure. I just hate to give LO more medicine.

    I've had a head cold since last Thursday. Started with a sore throat, then the nose started running, and now...I can't stop coughing. My Dr said I could have plain (no alcohol) Robitussin, cough drops, and tylenol. I feel a little better today, so I'm hoping I'm on on the up swing!

    Hope you feel better soon!!!

    OMG! I am so fed up with this and im on day two. Started yesterday morning..sinus pressure, and everythings draining so I have a sore throat and my ear is hurting bad from it....allergies are mixed with it, so everytime I have to sneeze, I sneeze about 5-6 times, and my eye keeps crying...oh it sucks. I had my 34 week check up today...she said there's no infection, so I can take sudafed and benadryl at night.......

     

    I am really contemplating calling off work tomorrow...especially since I finished the work I had on my plate, before the dr. apt, so I know there's nothing on my desk to do.........I just wont be able to make up the 4 hrs from today I missed, plus 8 from tomorrow.........

     

    Should I stay home, or no? Hmmmmmmmmm

    Me!  I have since the day after Christmas.  I sound like a man, I've been taking pretty much everything on my approved meds list, I swear the scent of strawberries and cream cough drops follows me permanently now.

    My husband loves it when I mention between the runny nose, hacking up junk and way excessive discharge happening in my undies that I've got mucus coming out of every orifice.  It's sexy, lemme tell you.

    I have been sick for 2 weeks...I only took Tylenol for the first week but doc recommended I start on sudafed and mucinex it helped a lot plus I got a prescription for zpack!  Oh and my favorite thing was puffs plus with lotion...oh did that help!!  I posted a little down that now I have pleurisy so I am back to complete misery but that is a different thing!  Feel better but definately get that sudafed before you get to congested!
