A member asked:

Im nursing...what can i take to relieve sore throut and headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are options.: Acetominophen (tylenol) is compatible with nursing and will help both. If you want to avoid medication, warm salt water gargles are somewhat effective and, of course, quite harmless. If there is fever, or the symptoms persist, you should definitely see your physician.
