Taking otc meds when the condition is just starting, before it gets too bad? My mom said it’ll only get worse?
Re: Good idea?
hmmm
Re: Good idea?
which condition? i usually check on Webmd website when I don't understand a health problem I'm having and it really helps. I analyze the symptons and then decide if I'll need to see a doc or take otc meds.

Oh, a cold...
Re: Good idea?
The thing with taking OTC medicines is that if you end up having to go to the doctor, some of the symptoms get masked and they don't see the true picture/extent of the problem......
But that's just my opinion...........
For a cold though I wouldn't think that the symptoms would go worse......I do prefer to see things like that out "cold Turkey" so as not to become too reliant on medicines!
