So you head to the drug store to find a sticky-sweet liquid to soothe your ragged tonsils, your hacking cough, your feverish forehead — only to be faced with a million options.

Do you need the orange Triaminic or the Vicks NyQuil multisymptom? There are two important considerations here: What will make you feel better, and what can you stand to swallow? Of any medicine you take. Read the label and see what it does and how to take it. Pick a formula that treats the symptoms you have. Peter Grossman, an internist in San Mateo, says cold medicines are not silver bullets.

Pay attention to how the drug makes you feel.
