I'm sorry you learned the hard way, Jerry.
Off limits are any cold medicine containing things like pseudoephedrine, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan,.....it's easier to say what is permitted. One drug, guaifenesin. It loosens phlegm and makes it easier to clear the chest and nasal passages. Other than that, tylenol and vitamin C.
