Flu, what's the best over the counter flu medicine to buy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many available: Adults' over-the-counter medicines for colds are ok to use if one follows the labels' instructions, stays below maximum doses, and is not using more than one medicine of each type. Fever and pain reducers include acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Cough medicines include Robitussin (some people use with DM, some avoid it). Decongestants and antihistamines include Claritin-D, Zyrtec-D, and many others.
