I have gymnastics in a couple hours but I have a cold and not going isn't an option. Right now i have a sore throat and a little bit of a runny nose and I had a sore throat all day yesterday. Not going to gymnastics isn't an option, but the only cold medicine I have is Children's Triaminic Thin Strips Night Time Cold & Cough. Is it okay to take this during the day before I go to gymnastics? I haven't rlly noticed it making me drousy before. I took it last night about an hour before I went to bed and it still took the usual 1/2 hour- 1 hour to fall asleep.

It isn't recommended because it makes you tired and groggy for a couple of hours. I don't know what you have but a stuafed is good. Ask your parents or friends for ideas or just suffer through the day. Most coaches don't want you to spread germs or viruses around, so they may say take a day or two off to recover. Sorry but I don't have another idea.

They only call it night time because the medicine can make you drowsey if it never has before then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Most night time meds make you sleepy, but as long as it doesn't then I say go for it, I just wouldn't drive or anything get someone to take you

Advil Cold and Sinus always did wonders for me!! You got to ask the pharmacist for it! You may even need to get a prescription from your doctor!

No No No
No medicine if you are doing gymnastics.
