Help please? i want to know what are some good cold medicines for teens?

Cold Medicines: It is very important that medication be introduced into the home with great thought since some are easily abused. Often cold symptoms are most improved with two medicines. A nasal decongestant used for the first 2-3 days of an illness only and an oral decongestant like Pseudoephedrine that is 12-hr and can be taken twice daily (AM, PM) for the worst days of the illness.

None: If you mean cough and cold medications, teenagers can use the same over the counter medications used by adults.Since colds are caused by viruses, they really have no remedy except time, hydration,sufficient sleep and rest.
