There are some contraindications to taking Tylenol Cold, Advil, and cough syrup while also taking fertility medications. It is best to avoid these medications if you are trying to conceive or are pregnant. It is recommended to use nasal hygiene solutions like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse for nasal congestion. These can be used as often as needed throughout the day, at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Drinking plenty of fluids, and using throat lozenges can also help relieve symptoms. If you experience discomfort or pressure in your head or ears while using Sinus Rinse, you may want to try applying less pressure when using the bottle, ensuring you tilt your head correctly, and possibly using only half of the solution. You can also watch instructional videos on proper usage. In cases of severe congestion, a nasal decongestant like Otrivin can be used up to twice a day for 3 to 5 days.
