She shouldn't take medicine for a cold! She should take Vitamin C, and drink lots of water, and eat plenty of fruit and veg, then her body will fight off the cold and she'll get better.

There really isn't a "medicine" for a cold. There are treatments for the symptoms of a cold like fever, sore throat, etc. The best thing she can do is take lots of fluids and rest a lot. If she doesn't want medicine that shouldn't be a big deal. Hope she gets well soon!

You don't have to take medicine to fight a cold. Your body can heal itself and fight the virus. There are natural ways to help fight off a cold and feel better... maybe she would be more interested in those options.

Let her be, if she doesn't want it. It's a cold, not something she HAS to take medicine for.

tell her that this medicine will make her feel better but if she is out right refusing then tell her that it will be gone in 14 days or two weeks which ever comes first :)

it's ok. i hate taking medicine and never do.
i get the worse headaches on the planet- and wait them out.
i get sick every winter, several times- and wait it out.
i gave birth, got sewn up, prescribed pain killers- and didn't take them.
some people don't like to take medicine.
it's better for her body to build up immunity. let her be.
