The best tablet for a cold depends on your specific symptoms.
Here's a breakdown of cold medicine options based on symptoms, according to Healthline:
| Symptom | Brand Name(s) |
|---|---|
| Fever and aches | Advil, Neoprofen, Tylenol |
| Sore throat and coughing | Delsym 12-hour, Tussin Cough (DM only) |
| Nighttime relief | Benadryl, Unisom |
| For children | Children's Tylenol |
Therefore, there isn't one "best" tablet for a cold; the ideal choice depends on whether you're experiencing fever, aches, sore throat, coughing, or need nighttime relief. For example, if you have a fever and aches, Advil or Tylenol might be best.
