Not for the sqeemish
So, this past week/two weeks I've been struggling with a cough/cold. I looked up what medicines I can take and decided to go with Robitussin, a medicine I don't believe I've used before. All went well for a while but the last five or so times I've taken it, I've vomited about 5 minutes afterwards. Thinking it was just normal pregnancy sickness I never associated the two.
Until Today...
Ate my usual Cream of Wheat for breakfast (that will change!!) and then proceeded to take the recommended dosage of Robitussin. The cough killer. Now store in the back of your brain that I usually can feel a vomit session coming and can, in a civilized manner, make it to the nearest toilet.... usually... Back to the story. Cream of wheat, Robitussin, next a sudden vomit session. A mouth full of Cream of Wheat, so full I couldn't close my lips but trapped the Cream of Wheat with my hands over my mouth. I commence sprinting into our bedroom (I noticed I awoke Scott by his alerted string of profanities) and then threw up more before making it to the toilet. Where does this Cream of Wheat go with my mouth already being full? Think... Where does it go? The front of my mouth is block by a hand.
MY NOSE! Up and out.
Robitussin colored Cream of Wheat. Quite painful.
Alerted husband, comes and takes care of pathetic me. I now believe I'm alergic to Robitussin from my co-workers pointing out that my face looked swollen for few hours and that directed me to notice that my face was in fact red and tingly. I'm too dense to put that together on my own.
It's safe to say that I might take the coughing over Robitussin from now on.
