Things to keep in mind when choosing cold medicine in Taiwan
There are two types of cold medicines that are commonly available over the counter in Taiwan.
One is a general cold medicine, which is effective for a wide range of symptoms.
These medicines can be taken when the symptoms are mild so that they can be dealt with as soon as possible.
The second is a fast-acting cold medicine, which speeds up the recovery process.
These are recommended to be used when the symptoms of a cold are severe.
Once you know how bad your cold is, you can choose the best one for you!
Five recommended cold medicines in Taiwan that you should be prepared for!
Let’s take a look at some of the products that are recommended for catching a cold in Taiwan.
5 Strepsils
This is a fast-acting medicine that is a cold-curing lozenge born in England.
They are recommended for relieving sore throats.
Although medicines have a bitter image, they come in a variety of flavors, making them a good choice for people who don’t like medicines.
There are 24 pills in a box, so you can use it for a long time, which is also a good deal.
4 SATO佐藤製藥 鼻通噴液劑
This is a spray manufactured in Taiwan by the Japanese company Sato Pharmaceutical.
It is ideal for when you have a stuffy nose due to a cold, and contains ingredients to relieve symptoms.
You can also use this Japanese product for its high effectiveness.
3 第一三共 欣樂樂愛思糖衣錠
This cold remedy is well known in Japan and has a long history of over 60 years.
It is a general cold remedy, so it is effective for a wide range of symptoms.
It is not fast-acting, so it is recommended to use it at the beginning of a cold.
2 大正製藥 百保能感冒顆粒
Pabron, which is well known in Japan, is a general cold remedy, but in granule form.
It can be used for a wide range of symptoms such as runny nose and sore throat.

What if I can’t get over a cold?
If your symptoms do not improve within three days of taking the medicine, go to a nearby hospital.
In Taiwan, there are many doctors in town, called zhong yi, and you can get effective prescriptions from specialists.
It is not always possible to cure a cold on your own due to physical conditions or seasonal problems.
It is recommended that you take it easy and go to a nearby hospital.
Recommended Hospitals in Kaohsiung
I didn’t get many colds in Kaohsiung where I lived, but there was one hospital that took care of me several times.
The hospital is called Yongming Medical Center, located in the coastal area of Kaohsiung, and it is covered by overseas insurance.
When I couldn’t get over a cold, they gave me the best advice and prescriptions, which really helped me.
Even foreigners can easily use this hospital, so if you feel sick in Kaohsiung, why not go there?
Conclusion
