:hmm: Head cold? Sore throat?

[kadi]

Hi guys, I caught a cold. My throat is sore & drippy and my eyes are gummy. So far, it's not too bad, but it's only the first day.

I can't afford to miss any days from work--I'm waaaaayyy out of sick leave & don't want to lose pay. Nine more work days til summer vacation (but who's counting?)

What have you all had success with taking for a cold? So far, the Cloraseptic spray is okay on my throat (surprising since it contains alcohol?). And I'm eating a menthol cough drop right now, hoping it won't do anything weird to my bladder & keep me up all night...

Anything else that works? but doesn't put your bladder into a tizzy??:hmm:

I hope your feeling better soon!

When I catch cold I take chlorpheniramine tablets. They are the generic for Chlor Con, but much less expensive.

My hubby and I are right there with you, Kadi -- both of us woke up with sore, raw throats and the sniffles today. :(

I tried the Chloraseptic spray, but it only worked for about 3 minutes, and then my throat was back to hurting! Other than that, I haven't tried anything else yet. I'll let you know if I find something good....

I tried Claritin this morning and it seems to have helped a little bit. I don't think my bladder is bothered by it, but can't really tell because I had to take a Ditropan this morning (usually only at night) because my bladder was twitchy and I was wide awake all night maybe because of the cough drop I took earlier...

So, wound up missing school today, but hope to get back to work tomorrow, since there's only 8 days left before summer break.
