Me three!!! Had the flu 2 weeks ago and I could have sworn it went away. All off a sudden, out of the blue I get this terrible cold, cought chest congestion,  ringing in ears. Im so tired I dont have energy to get out of bed. Went to urgent care and they gave me iv fluids, I was dehydrated at that point. Dr couldn't give me anything. However, recommended robitussin peak cold, no alcohol in it. This is for the cough and congestion. Cephacol cough drops to soothe my rawt throat and tylenol regular strength to help with the pains. Twice a day only. Last recommendation was drink lots of fluids, rest and use a vaporizer.

I take walgreens brand sinus headache medicine. My ob said I could take anything as long as it didn't have motrin or aspirin in it. Good luck, hope you kick it soon.
