Got a cold?

Article Abstract:

Purchase of drugs over the counter for a cold or congested nose can be risky, therefore, it is important to first identify the symptom, look at the active ingredient on the label, consult the doctor before buying the drug, not to use the drug for more than a week and skip multi-symptom formulas. A guide giving the details of the names of the medicine, the active ingredient, formulations and symptoms is presented.
