Best over the counter med for a 5 year old for the flu??


Answers: ARSENICUM ALB 200, along with Bio Combination No 11 and 6 every four hours two tablets each on the tongue and let them dissolve on the tongue, Arsenicum Alb 200 once a day or you can give it in 30 three times a day.
Take Care and God Bless you !
I always give my children Tylenol. Depending on their symptoms. The Children's Tylenol comes in all various combinations - try the Children's Tylenol - plus Flu. You can go on the web-site for Tylenol to read about it.

Hope your child feels better.
OTC relief would be any flu relief meds: usually this contains the ingredients:
dextromethorphan (anti-cough), pseudoephedrine (nasal decngestant), acetopmetophen (fever relief)
For fever: Ibuprofen is ok, BUT NEVER ASPIRIN b/c of Reye's Sydrome (sever and fatal in children!!!)

Things you could do at home: wash hands often, DRINK plenty of fluids
Make sure to keep elderly and those who do not have vaccinations away from the infected.
Good luck!!
