Hi. I feel for you with your cold or whatever. I am just getting over mine. I took Tylanol Brand Cold stuff. They make one for day and one for night time. I can only speak for myself but it did not bother my weight loss. I dropped 5.5 pounds last week and I know over 3 this week (weigh in is tomorrow). I feel for you. Hope you can get some rest. Drink lots of fluids.
