Drugstore cold remedies

[Sidelle]

I have a bad cold and it's really kicking my ass. I haven't had more than a couple of naps the past 3 days because of severe coughing (my ribs actually hurt), sneezing, fatigue, and headache from HELL. The usual stuff I have in the medicine cabinet is not working at all. (Herbal cough drops, Nyquil cough syrup, and Excedrin for pain.)

I usually never need more than what I have on hand and Google isn't being very helpful.

I'll probably go to the doctor in a couple days if there isn't any improvement but in the meantime does anyone have any suggestions for any other drugstore meds that might alleviate the symptoms a little so I can finally get some decent rest? Definitely only want to hear about stuff you've tried that actually helped you.

Please help if you can. I'm exhausted. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
