Default What (if anything) can I take for a bad cold?


It's been a while since I've posted here...

I have a really bad cold that started yesterday...very sore throat,
sneezing, drippy, stuffed up nose, headache and overall poopy feeling.

I am nursing DD#2 who is about 7 months old. No problem with that at
all...supply is good, etc.

Is there anything I can take for this? So far I've only taken tylenol
and sucked on cough drops, but I really would love to take something
more. Any suggestions?

With DD#1 I nursed for 23 months and either never really had a bad cold
or must've toughed it out. Feeling weaker this time, I guess.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Kathy

Avoid decongestants, and they can dry you up.
A saline spray might be helpful.

That's exactly what I just got over. Vaporizer with mentholatum, and
benadryl...

Well, I took sudafed no problems - just drank LOTS of water to make up for
the drying effect. Bendryl is OK too.
