Here is a list of common symptoms and that type of medicine that will help to control or relieve it. Remember that most of these medicines, especially the cold remedies, will not make your child get better any faster. They should be used only if they are making your child more comfortable and are not causing bothersome side effects. If your child is not improving after a few days of being on an over the counter medicine or if he is getting worse, you should call your doctor.
