[wiggles2015]

So I woke up this morning with a cold. And I have a headache due to my nose being plugged up. What is okay for me to take. I went to the doc to make sure I it's just the cold. And Yup it's just the cold. He didn't tell me what I could take tho. And I forgot to ask.

I would try mucinex... the one without the decongestants.... just the one with guafenessin- thins mucous and may help prevent a sinus infection

I hate taking meds unless I really have to so I think I'll try that thanks.

i would say just up your vitamin c, lots of fluids and rest. thats what will make u better. the meds wil help with symptom control so if you can't deal with the symptoms then take something. .. not sure whats safe tho. you should also try and facial steam before bed to clear out your sinuses and chest before bed so you breath alittle better at night. and limit dairy for awhile it increases mucus production which it doesn't sound like you need that right now.  hope that help some.

Sudafed is safe to take
