(ETA: to add a short list my Dr. just gave me) Help! VERY Congested with sore throat...what meds can I take?
Nasal sprays like Afrin have always really helped me. I googled it last night and from what I found it is ok to use, but only for 2 or 3 days. What else can I get? I am sooo congested with a really stuffy nose and sore throat 
eta: I called my Dr. and she said that I can take any of the following:
Sudafed
Tylenol Cold, Tylenol Sinus
Robittusin
Afrin
Saline Nasal Spray

warm air humidifier when you sleep. That's what helped me when I was really sick.

Double check this, but I think you can take Robitussin and use Ludens cough drops.

Yes, my Doctor said Robitussin was ok. I was VERY nervous because there are so many types out there (DM, Cough, Nighttime, etc) so I brought the ones I used with me so he could check them out and he said they were all fine. But that was MY doctor and I know they all have different opinions.

any of the Tylenol meds (I've been taking Tylenol cold & Sinus)
I normally deal with hot showers and warm cloths over my eyes, and plain tylenol for the headache, but with a 1 yr old running around, I NEED to be able to function

No meds with a decongestant, it contricts blood flow to the baby.
My dr. rec humidifier, sugar free halls, extra strength tylenol and Robitussin with Guaifenesin ONLY.
Feel better

Make sure there are no letters with Robitussin (per my Dr.)
Also... nothing with Zinc.
