Thanks for the input. I am still a little sniffly this morning but not stuffy. Yesterday I used a saline nasal spray so maybe that helped.

I had a cold which developed into bronchitis on my 16th week and was prescribed antibiotics.

I also had a mild cold another day and was told it was due to allergies and was given claritin-D.

Only doctor can tell you if it's due to bacterial infection and needs antibiotics or a virus (in which case only time and lots of water will help)

I would not do it except for a natural humidifying nasal spray (like sea water based etc). I also got kinda bit blocked nose (at least more than usual) during tx. For quite some time now. Not sure its a cold. Maybe the meds got on me that way.

I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and am concerned that I may be getting a cold. Since my last blood draw I have tried to be very careful because my WBC is low (3.3). Can I take any OTC meds in case what I THINK maybe turning into a cold actually does?
