I'm hoping the Carenity community can help me. I am suffering from a cold (congestion, coughing, etc) I really want to take cold medicine but I'm also flaring and shouldn't take NSAIDs. What do you do in these situations?!

Advice please!

Hi @timeheals!

How are you doing today?

I'm sorry to hear about your cold and flares. Such an uncomfortable combo! I'll tag a few members, maybe they can give you some tips for how they get through the winter sniffle season while flaring.

@Chemitamarquez @chais18a @LydiaO'D @Mel1287 @bloom410 @Shaikira21 @RDANNER @tdgonzalez @Janieg @Lorifras @MsMarcia @sconnelly506 @GabrielleRiese @Elaine.G @Randyj @nocolonkid @CMA2021 @missbutterfly @slegnel @Justdivine @Info101 @goldiegirl @NanNaChelle @cmbcmb @kpandora1984 @Marynugent @dgarcia025 @Angelarubio

What do you do when you have a cold or allergies and are flaring? What alternative do you use besides OTC meds with NSAIDs?

Let's share and try to help @timeheals!

Take care,
