Husband gave me his man flu

[P13jne]

Hi, my generous husband has passed his awful cold onto me. Flowers would have been nicer, but hey ho. Can anyone advice which pain killers are advised as I know ibuprofen is a no no. I should have mentioned I’ve got PBC, Thanks

You should really check with your own doctor as each of us is different. For example, my hepatologist told me a little ibbuprofen every now & then is okay. Doctors offer varying advice.

Ye thanks you’re probably right. Jane x

Paracetamol has always been recommended to me... I also have pbc and was allowed it even at my worse...

Just take care if taking cold products as they tend to contain paracetamol as well... So don't double dose x

Thank you Cazer x

Lots of fluids and rest with a little paracetamol works for me. Hope you are better soon.

Thank you ButterflyEi that’s what I’m doing. Just have to let mother nature work her magic. Jane xx

I have PBC and cant have anything for pain apart from Paracetamol and then its only four a day. anything stronger and 20 mins later its an ambulance to hospital as the pain is horrendous.. Hope your cold soon gets better... x

Thanks Bev5779 I spoke with the pharmacist today and she said paracetamol or Sudafed is all I can take. I didn’t know about 4 only though, luckily I’ve only had 4 so I’ll not need the ambulance ride phew!! Jane x

Paracetamol is the only one I have been told I can take!

Glad to hear that you're on the upswing! Allergy season here is predicted to be very intense this year... More fun.. oh boy..

[P13jne in reply to EileenUSA]

EileenUSA, yes thank you I’m beginning to feel a bit better. How’re you doing? I hope you survive through allergy season. I think it must be the only thing I don’t suffer from 🤦‍♀️. Just as well we have our amazing sense of humour to keep us laughing xx
