Types of Flu OTC Medications

• You can find a wide variety of over-the-counter
  (OTC) cold and flu medications. It has to do with
  the wide variety of symptoms you might be looking
  to improve. Decongestants, for example, can
  improve stuffiness, analgesics reduce fever and
  pain, and other types of medications can help
  ease out other concerns.

DECONGESTANTS
Congestion is a hallmark symptom of cold and flu.
The reason is the dilated blood vessels in the
airway and nasal membranes. The work of
over-the-counter decongestants is to narrow the
blood vessels, decrease inflammation and
swelling, and allow the mucus to drain and air to
flow. You can take decongestants orally or in a
nasal spray. Oral decongestants include Sudafed
PE (phenylephrine) and Sudafed (pseudoephedrine).

ANALGESICS

• For body aches, headaches, and fever that come
  with the flu or cold, OTC medications are known
  as analgesics are helpful. Common analgesics
  include
• Asprin
• Aleve (naproxen)
• Advil (ibuprofen)
• Tylenol (acetaminophen)
• If we see, analgesics overall helps to relieve
  the pain and reduce fever. Acetaminophen and
  aspirin are generally better to treat headaches
  and fevers, while naproxen and ibuprofen may be
  better at reducing pain.

COUGH MEDICINE
Treating a cough from the flu or cold might be
tricky. You first need to evaluate your cough to
determine the type of cough medicine you require.
Dry cough may benefit from taking an antitussive
cough suppressant, while a productive and wet
cough typically requires an expectorant. Other
than these, you can consult your doctor and ask
for their prescription. You can also download a
drug discount card for a discount on medicines.

MULTI-SYMPTOM TREATMENTS

Multi-symptom formulas usually include a
combination of expectorants, antihistamines,
decongestants, analgesics, and cough
suppressants. There are often helpful when you
have the flu or cold because they treat many
different symptoms in one dose. You must use
multi-drug medication with caution. Do not forget
to read the ingredient list to ensure the formula
only includes medications that treat your
symptoms. You must avoid taking additional
medications at the same time to prevent
interactions and accidental overdose.

7
CONCLUSION

Few natural remedies help with flu and cold
symptoms, but it is best to visit the doctor and
get your prescriptions. You must know that some
supplements tend to interact with other
medications you are on including
over-the-counter ones. If you get the
