I have one too. My doctor told me yesterday that any of the Tylenol brand cold remedies are safe, like Tylenol Cold & Sinus and whatnot. You can always call your doctor's office and ask just to be sure.

If you want to help your symptoms without medicine, you can try hot tea with honey and lemon, taking a hot shower, using a humidifier, saline nasal sprays, and gargling with salt water.
