A member asked:

Over the counter cold relief medications without acetaminophen or pseudoephedrine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Read labels: There are literally thousands of OTC medications for cold relief. If you need decongestion, try something like Afrin nasal spray but do not use it for more than 5 days else you may end up worse off afterwards.
