A member asked:

Are there any medications for the flu/ cold that contain no acetaminophen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ibuprofen & aspirin: For adults, Ibuprofen in its many brand names can be very helpful in managing fever and muscle aches. Aspirin is not used for children due to its association with reyes syndrome, a serious and possibly vatal disorder. Remember lots of fluids and rest.
