A doctor’s checklist for choosing over-the-counter medications for adults

I don’t know about you, but when I go to the cough-and-cold section of the pharmacy, I feel a little overwhelmed. I think I know what I want but then see the same brand with just a little different type or amount of ingredients. Which is better for your symptoms? (Make no mistake, the over-the-counter meds treat symptoms, not the underlying problem. Many times that’s all you need, just to feel a little better until your body agrees.)
