OTC flu medication
Achy and feverish from the flu? Try an OTC flu medication for symptom relief. You have your choice between packets you can add to hot water, liquid, tablets, or lozenges, among other forms. Your preferred flu medication form may also offer different flavors to choose from. Find an OTC flu medication from brands such as Vicks, TheraFlu and Alka-Seltzer here at Walgreens.com.
Relief without a prescription
The advantage of taking over-the-counter flu medication is that you may be able to avoid a doctor visit and still find relief. Try a multi-symptom flu medicine that can address most or all of your symptoms. There are also nighttime and daytime cold and flu medication options if you need help sleeping or getting through the day. Make sure that the OTC flu remedy you choose doesn't adversely affect other medications you're taking. For instance, there are specifically formulated cold and flu medicines for those with high blood pressure.
More for your medicine cabinet
Be prepared when a cold or flu might strike with remedies at the ready in your medicine cabinet. Make sure you have a working digital thermometer to check for fever. Keep ibuprofen on hand for pain relief and fever reduction. Antacids, anti-diarrheals and other stomach remedies are also good to have available. Don?t forget throat lozenges, vitamin C, anti-bacterial hand soap and facial tissues.
