I have a horrible cold... are we able to take cold medicine? And if so what did everyone take?

I had a cold while I was having surgery last week and I still have it and I have been taking Alegra-D. I cut it in half to take it.

I had one during my surgery. My dr okay'd Zyrtec D I just had to miss a dose prior surgery and could start back up on it after..

I have one right now. Have been sucking on cough drops and Nyquil cough syrup, but the problem is that both are making me so sick! Like nausea and bowel problems sick. :/ I'm actually looking for ideas of what else to do to curb cold symptoms, so if anyone knows please respond or message me?

Cough drops probably have sugar in them - that is probably causing your intestinal issues.
