If the cold bug has bit you, you might try some over the counter medications first. There are several medications available for purchase at the front window. A decongestant can help relieve congestion. We carry 2 types of decongestants. An antihistamine is for allergy symptoms like runny noses, itchy eyes and sneezing. We also have cough syrup, sore throat lozenges,  , ibuprofen, aspirin and cough drops. Gargling with salt water is great for sore throats.

Some Medications available for purchase include:

Pseudoephedrine (decongestant)

Phenylephrine (decongestant)

Cetirizine (compare to Zyrtec)

Loratadine (compare to Claritin)

Acetaminophen 500mg (compare to extra strength Tylenol)

If you have tried over the counter medications and you are still having symptoms, call and make an appointment.

Many times over the counter medication, extra fluids, and extra Vitamin C may be all the treatment you need.
