The best.?.? The best is to drink LOTS and LOTS of WATER. And rest too. That way, there will be no side effects from the medicine and you get to wash toxins from your body. Very healthy alternative to medicine. I'm a nursing student by the way. http://nursester.blogspot.com/Health Question & Answer
seriously..no otc drugs are effective in fighting a cold..see colds are casued by a virus, and there is no drug that fights any type of virus, because those are the kind of microorganisms that just comes and goes..here the things you can do though..drink plenty of water, to keep you hydrated..a lot of water....take tylenol if you have fever every 6 hours, much needed rest, and warm salt and water solution for sore throat..not mouthwash..it cause your throat to dry out...good luckHealth Question & Answer
REST!!! The longer you "fight on" and just take medicine the longer it will take to get better. With all those symptoms, I suggest take a couple of days off work and get lots of sleep. also drink PLENTY of fluids and fruit and vegies.
