What are you allowed to take for colds?

I have the worst sore throat right now. And soon I'll probably get a sinus cold :'( I always get the worst sinus colds! And too top it off, I have to do my sugar test Monday.. If I'm all sinus-y I won't be able to do it.

Id call your obgyn becuse every hospital is different.. but its safe to take benedryl, cough drops, tylenol and sm tussin cough syrup.. For the sore throat id warm up some water and add some salt.. stir it up and gargle it and spit it out, helps alot! also a humidifier does wonders!! put some vics on the opening were the steam comes out and it works.. lastly if you have a stuffy nose try a petty pot those help alot

What they said, plus my OBGYN said chloroseptic spray for your throat is fine. And lots of decaffeinated tea with honey!

I just got over the flu, all I took was Tylenol and used vix, drank a bunch of water/juices/sprite, and had chicken noodle soup. Hot tea does wonders too. And yeah the sugar test is just drinking some nasty stuff and then getting your blood drawn. So you'll be good lol.
