hello
I'm 8months post and i have gotten my first cold...i called transplant clinic and they told my to take sudafed and robotussin and to watch my temperature real close..i wanting to know know did any of you cope and respond to home remedy with your first cold? were u hospitalized or did it go away..... I'm kinda worried about this since i have a compromised immune system....thanks for any information...Chris

I had many colds during my transplant Chris. Main thing is to rest, drink lots of fluids, take only the meds your transplant team approves. They (the colds) tend to last longer with a compromised immune system but you should be fine. I hate colds, and I have one now too. Yuck. :cuddle;

Do you have any fever at all Chris?
-
no dont have any fever.....thats one thing transplant clinic told me to look for....i check it 3 times a day....thanks

I just used the Sudafed non drowsey cough and cold capsules. I only used Robotusin after being discharged for IV treatments. But what you were told is what my center also told me to take, along with more fluid intake.. It sems with colds now they don't last as long symptomwise compared to pre transplant.
Hope your feeling better soon.

I feel for you Chris. I thing my allergies turned into a sinus infection and I feel horrible! I have been sick since Monday and my dr. called in some antibiotics for me. So far no fever though and that is the good news!
Hope you get better real soon!!!

ty donnia....going on 4 weeks without any relief ....i got this too look forward too every year!...transplant clinic told me go see family Dr to get some antibiotic..hope that helps ..thanks for all responses...u all have been great!! ty Chris
-
You are still sick after 4 weeks and the transplant clinic is sending you to your family physician for antibiotics? That doesn't sound right to me. I would think that they would want to be on top of something that is hanging around for so long. :cuddle;
-
yeah they wanted me to have something to tie me over until my appointment to on the 12th at transplant clinic which is 4 hrs away ....I'm much better with a little bit of runny nose and a cough every now and then..btw i didnt go to family Dr felt much better after a week end of rest so i will try to tuff it out until my appointment with clinic.... thanks for all your concerns..Chris... This site has been great help!!!!!

okay, I didn't realize that the clinic is so far away. I hope the antibiotics help. :cuddle;
