Cold medicine

[Mz LaLa 13]

So I had my surgery on 8/19 and today I wake up with a cold. Can anyone tell me which medicines I am allowed to take? I'm congested, sore throat, Migraine, coughing and sneezing.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's safe to assume you are off your pain meds from post surgery. That would be the only concern as you do not want to overdose on acetaminophen etc. You should be able to take an over the counter med, however, take liquids only. Many of them contain anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) that can lead to erosion if it sits in the upper pouch (like a pill would) that is long releasing or taken for a period of time. It's just a precaution.

Make sure what you take does not have NSAIDS and call the doctor for recommendations.

Ok thanks ladies! I called the doctor and they recommended liquid Tylenol so I'm headed to the pharmacy now. I thought I was getting better but last night it go worst.
