Sue Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi everyone. We are all suffering bad colds in my house right now. Scratchy itchy throat, headache, runny nose. Can anyone suggest a cold med I can take???? I called Grubbs office but had to leave a message on the nurse line, could take forever before they call back.. thanksSue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avais1 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi Sue,I am supersensitive to cold meds, and can't take regular Sudafed, etc. But I did find one thing that worked or me. It is Childrens Triaminic, the orange flavored one, labeled cold & allergy. The dosage is 2 teaspoons, but I only took one, as there is 15mg of sudafed in it, but that is really small, and even I could handle it. It also has 1 mg of antihistimaine, so it made me a little drowsy, but it did help me make it through the tough times of the cold. It didn't POTS me out personally, don't know what it would do with you, but this is what worked with me. I took a dose less than a 6 year old, but it worked .

Sunfish Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 personally i can tolerate a small dose of non-drowsy sudafed. but i know many others cannot tolerate this. we're all so different. if you can't get through to a doc, perhaps you could talk to a pharmacist as he/she could at least look at your list of meds to factor in that issue in terms of safety. hope you're all feeling better soon!:-)melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
