I have this terrible head & chest cold. I'm not sure if WLS makes a difference in what I should take. My head is killing me & may chest is so congested I'm hoping this isn't going to go into bronchitis.
Any thoughts?

Diabetic Tussin is good. I made the mistake of taking regular cough syrup...yikes. Sick AND dumping. No fun.

Sudafed, Benedryl and Tylenol are all meds that I take when I'm sick.

Hope that you feel better soon!

Thanks, Kim. Sudafed is my cold medicine of choice. I just wasn't sure if there are restrictions.
Celadon
Kim is right. When in doubt, rely on Diabetic medicines for coughs and tylenol or tylenol related substances. Sudafed works really well and the pills are SMALL!!! Hope you are feeling better soon. love0028.gif

There are diabetic cold medicines? I DID NOT KNOW THIS!!!!!! I need to find some of that!

I usually take tylenol and sudafed. Sugar free halls or SF Ricola. Emergen C and Airborne... but let the bubble fizz out then drink.
