    I was told I could take Tylenol for pain, but cold medicine is something that I take if I need it. I just make sure there is no ibuprofen in any of it.

    I just took some Tylenol cold. I feel horrible too.

    I called the on call nurse to double check and since I'm not taking any meds I'm able to take liquid form over the counter meds. I'm relieved! I hope i get over it asap. Hope you feel better
