Help! I have the flu!

[dmarie]

I was hit with the flu on Tuesday and I am really feeling down and out. My bladder is behaving....thankfully! What can I take for the nasal congestion and coughing without my bladder throwing a fit? Thanks for any suggestions!

I can take mucinex for head congestion. Just make sure it is plain Mucinex not Mucinex D. For a cough I can take Delysem. Hope you feel better soon!

My doc just gave me Nasocort for my stuffiness. Seems to be helping. Had a little flare though today, (doc said cortozone wouldn't cause one), so it could be the v-day chocolates giving me fits too. Either way, I can breathe a lot easier!

I usually try non-medicated methods for relief first. Gargling salt water usually seems to help me with a sore throat and I sit in the bathroom and run the shower very hot (i don't sit in the shower). The steam usually clears out the stuffiness.
