I've had this nasty cold for a few days now and the congestion in my sinuses are killing me!! Do you ladies know if it's alright to take Sudafed?

I'm not too sure, I would just run search online to see if it was ok.
I'm just coming down with a cold now too

.

I hope you start feeling better soon hon

i recently had a really bad cold like yourself and was wondering at the time if i could use sudafed, i went to the GP coz i wasnt sure what i could take apart from paracetamol (and lets face it they are just crap for anything) and i dont trust the word of a pharmacist especially when being pregnant and i said to him i was going to take some sudafed and he said not to as there is something in it that passes through the placenta and goes to the baby, he said not to buy over the counter medicines when pregnant and gave me some other syrup stuff that was safe but im not sure what it was called, so i would say to go see the GP as they can give you good safe stuff for your cold x x

My doctor told me I could take Tylenol products. I asked them when I had a cold if Tylenol Sinus was okay and it was okay

I have a cold aswell, it sucks, the only thing I can take is liquid paracetomal as I can't swallow tablets, and can't have them crushed or soluble either as it makes me sick.
