Is It Suitable To Take Meloxicam, Acetaminophen And Aspirin To Treat Sore Throat And Congestion?

I had surgery last Monday, and I'm currently taking Meloxicam. I woke up with flu-like symptoms (sore throat, congestion), and I'm wondering which cold medication I can take while on Meloxicam. I spoke with someone in my surgeon's office and they said I can't take anything with Acetaminophen or Aspirin. Is Sudafed alright?

Thanks
