Hi Teri. So sorry to hear about your case of the flu. Poor baby.

I can't take decongestants either, but I can take the regular Mucinex. It really works, and will help your congestion in the head and lungs clear out. Also, get some saline nasal spray. Use it frequently, it has nothing in it but saline solution and will keep your nasal passages from drying out. Also relieves the congestion.

Monitor the color of the junk that comes out. If it's green, give your doctor a call, as you will need an antibiotic.

Drink plenty of fluids, OJ, chicken noodle soup, Seven-up, Diet Coke, whatever you can tolerate. Make sure the drinks are well iced, and sip them as much as possible. With a fever and vomiting, you need to keep hydrated. I would also take Advil or something similar for the body aches and fever.

I hope you feel better soon, so take care of yourself. >>HUG<<
