Elderberry syrup will prevent and/or shorten the duration of what ails you. It won't do much for your symptoms, however. For that, you'll need liquor, narcotics, and Afrin. Maybe toss in a vitamin or two.  ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Was able to get CVS generic Pseudoephedrine based stuff (Sudafed) this morning and it’s quite shocking how well that works compared to that worthless DayQuil garbage. I’m done buying that stuff. | |||

It was around 1960, maybe 1961, I was working for a very large company. They had a medical office on site, staffed by full-time nurse(s) and part-time doctor. I had the mother of all colds, really miserable, went to the medical office to see if they might have something for relief. Nurse told me to go home, have some hot tea with lemon and honey and a generous amount of whiskey. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Good for you! Sudafed is the only med that gives me relief for sinus congestion/headaches, the kind that make me feel like my head is going to explode when I bend over, which make want to do nothing but sleep. In defense of Dayquil and the others, they could not be on the sales floor for easy sale if they contained real Sudafed. If one had to go through the same ID check for voting as you do to buy Sudafed, we would have fair elections. | |||

There is a reason they keep it behind the counter. It works! Proverbs 28:1 | |||

That is not the reason they keep it behind the counter. As already pointed out above, meth heads used to buy quantities of Sudafed to cook and make meth. Q | |||

650mg acetaminophen is the equal of two regular strength Tylenol tablets not a large dose at all. When I counsel patients about use of acetaminophen AKA Tylenol, the maximal daily dose is 4 grams, so you could safely take 6 doses at the 650mg level and be well within safe guidelines. There are a couple trains of thought: Combo medications are not only convenient but at times have a synergistic effect, meaning they work more effectively when taken together than separately On the other hand only taking the items you need without extras to minimize side effects or potential interaction with other medications you might take has merit too. | |||

To add to the Tylenol/Acetaminophen dosage limit.... I have a bottle of Walgreens Extra Strength (500mg) Acetaminophen. The dosage for adults is 2 caplets (1,000mg) every 6 hours, not to exceed 6 caplets in a 24-hour period. So according to this, you can take 3,000mg of Acetaminophen in a 24-hour period with no ill side effects. If you wanted to space it out more evenly, take 2 caplets every 8 hours for continual dosage. Opinions may vary and YMMV...... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I went through a few Tylenol PM (diphenhydramine) for a 2-3 day bought. Sleep alway kinda sucks when that sick though. I keep a few Thetaflu packets cause it helps and I like the delivery. And for cough, which sucks, an ancient bottle of generic cold and flu relief syrup (Dextromethorphan HBr). I find it best to nip it in the bud if I feel it coming on. Vit-D, zinc, magnesium, upping fluids and electrolytes. | |||

Ahhhh! The hot toddy. My mother used to spike my lemon honey tea with some bourbon when I had a cold. Thanks mom.  | |||

Get the largest count available. A few years ago I had a pretty bad cold. Over the weekend I bought a 10 pill count. When I went to work on Monday I forgot to bring some tablets with me. I figure I'll just stop at the local drug store and pick up some more. NOPE, no soup for you. Unable to get anymore for a month. Drive home was miserable. So if your cold last you may not be able to get more. | |||
