Question: what medicine should i take if i have a cold?
Answer: Treating Your Cold Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) help lower fever and relieve muscle aches. DO NOT use aspirin. Check the label for the proper dose. Call your provider if you need to take these medicines more than 4 times per day or for more than 2 or 3 days.
