Start with taking Tylenol for the cold medicine.

My mom used to run a pharmacy, and as far as I remember, she would give me Tylenol first when I was sick. My tonsils are large, so whenever I caught a cold, my throat would swell and I would get a fever.

Perhaps because of this, after getting married and raising children, I naturally always keep Tylenol as an over-the-counter medication at home. When I have a cold, I take Tylenol first, and if the cold or body aches become severe, I go to the hospital for a prescription. Severe colds occur about once or twice a year? The effectiveness of Tylenol is quite good. The pain-relieving substance in Tylenol is acetaminophen. It causes less stomach irritation, so it can be taken anytime, whether before or after meals. It also seems to be effective for menstrual pain. Although there is no completely safe medication for pregnant women, Tylenol is considered safe and there are no issues. The usual dosage is to take it after 5 to 7 hours.
