Alright vets...help a girl out. What in earth can I take?

I do plan on calling my nurse tomorrow morning.

But has anyone else gotten a nasty chest cold during the first month post op?

Sorry you are sick. I haven't had a cold since I started mass-loading vitamins (a couple of years), so I am probably not going to be much help. I know that Tylenol Cold is liquid Tylenol with mint flavoring. There are sugar-free versions of cough medicine out there (Delsyum and Robitussum). When I do have a cold I usually just take Claritin and Sudafed -- both are really tiny pills that should go down easily. Plenty of rest, fluids and a call to the doctor are in order. Feel better!
