Cold and flu remedies

[scifire]

What cold and flu meds won't cause my Restless Leg Syndrome to flare up? Any good cough meds I can take?

[SueJohnson]

Vicks cough syrup, Robitussin daytime, Guaifenesin - used to treat coughs and congestion and Hycomine (hydrocodone bitartrate and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride) - for the symptomatic relief of cough and nasal congestion are all OK

Avoid anything that contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate, pseudoephedrine or Diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
