Which Medication is Right for You?

If you have been feeling sick lately, you may be considering taking something to help relieve your symptoms. But what medication should you take? There are so many to choose from, it can be overwhelming just to walk into the drug store. How do you know if you need this pill or that tablet? The best thing to do is to narrow down the symptoms you want to treat and find a medication that covers those. Or find a different medication for each symptom. Even if you have to take two or three medications, it is better to only treat those symptoms that you have. If you have a runny nose and sore throat, you don't need a medication with a cough suppressant in it too. Read the labels and check the medication section of your About Cold and Flu website to get information on which medications are right for your symptoms.
