You should consult your doctor for what they recommend. For me, I have been able to take all the same cold medicines as before. Also, the best thing you can do when you are sick is rest. If you force it working out, you may end up really sick wearing yourself down.

Feel better soon!

Feel better. Call your doctor, is true. I have a cold right now. My PCP told me to take children's liquid Mucinex. Also adults liquid Tylenol I have been given before. I suck on cough drops but I also have had the band since July.

If the cold is just coming on I highly suggest Cold-eze they do really help shorten the cold and lessen the severity.

i asked my dr about this very subject

iget allergies bad, pms etc......and he said to use tylenol...so i buy the walmart or walgreens (cvs) brands if tylenol...i try to buy liquid if possible but i do have caplets that i can swallow (i do break them in half if i fear they are too big)..

some people have posted motrin and things like that, but id refer to your dr in regards to any insaids just to be safe.

feel better girlfriend...

Thanks everyone I will call them tomorrow.
