Effective cold medicine
Always nice to be handed a cold as you enter a 3-day weekend. I've been using the medicine (off the counter) in the image but it doesn't seem to have much clout. Does anyone have an cold medicine that they turn to in Japan that gets to work quickly?

Not a cold medicine necessarily, but lots of rest, water and tea, and specifically ginger tea. You can find 生姜茶 everywhere and that's one of the remedies I hear the locals use. I was recommended vitamin A by a pharmacist once (in a multi vitamin) and I suppose anything that helps out your immune system like that is beneficial, but had always heard vitamin C back home. (I also use the Royal Jelly & Propolis from Daiso when I feel less than genki.) Take care, unfortunately the cold season has already begun, it seems.
