I often find that when I take medication for colds, I end up dealing with a cough afterwards. Is there a cold medicine that doesn't lead to coughing?

Some cold medications can exacerbate coughing. Look for cold medicines that are labeled as "non-drowsy" or "cough-suppressing." Here are some options:

  • Medications with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dextromethorphan (Robitussin) can help alleviate cold symptoms without exacerbating cough.
  • Medications with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also provide relief from cold symptoms and may help suppress cough.
