I’m 14 days post op. Currently have a really bad cold and extremely hoarse. What OTC med can I take?

Maybe lemsip hot drinks, nasal decongestants and throat sprays. Feel better soon. x

Depending on the WLS you had can change things slightly, you want to stay away from NSAIDS all together. Have you called your Surgeon's office for advice yet? For the throat issues you can use some sugar free throat drops or Cloroseptic spray. For the aches and pains, stick with Aspirin (or buffered aspirin if the normal aspirin typically upsets your stomach). But you ****REALLY**** should call your Surgeon / Doctor's office for advice on this.

Had the RNY. I’m currently out of town and really the only thing that is bothering me is that my vocal chords are coated from drainage and I sound like I swallowed a frog

Warm tea and decongestant aren’t working.
