As FDA rules some OTC cold medicines don't work, doctors reveal what you should take instead

In a recent Daily Mail article, I discussed the FDA’s decision on certain over-the-counter cold medicines and shared alternative remedies that can effectively manage cold symptoms. Instead of relying on over-medicating, I recommend options like chicken soup—taught to me even during my medical training—which provides hydration, salt for rehydrating cells, and chicken fat to improve lung function. Probiotics are also essential for strengthening the immune system by promoting good bacteria. Rest, fluids, and simple remedies remain key for recovery.
