Neighbors, when the
common cold strikes, over-the-counter (OTC) cold
medications can provide much-needed relief from its
uncomfortable symptoms. However, with so many options
on pharmacy shelves, it can be overwhelming to choose the
right one. Despite the mile-long aisle of cold medication
choices, the active ingredients are limited to several
medications from a few general categories.
Decongestants for nasal congestion.
Active Ingredients: Pseudoephedrine or Phenylephrine.
Decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels in
the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.
Pseudoephedrine, although effective, is now regulated
due to its potential use in illegal drug production. These
medications can increase blood pressure.
Antihistamines for runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery
eyes.
Active Ingredients: Diphenhydramine, Loratadine,
Cetirizine, and more.
Antihistamines block histamine, a chemical released
during an allergic reaction, which can alleviate allergy
like cold symptoms. Some of these medications can cause
drowsiness, so consider non-drowsy formulations if you
need to remain alert.
Cough Suppressants for persistent coughing.
Active Ingredients: Dextromethorphan (DM).
Cough suppressants, like DM, work on the brain's cough
center to reduce the urge to cough. These are especially
useful when a cough keeps you awake or interferes with
daily activities.
Expectorants for thick mucus, and productive cough.
Active Ingredients: Guaifenesin.
Expectorants help loosen and thin mucus in the airways,
making it easier to clear from the lungs. They are beneficial
when dealing with chest congestion and a productive cough.
Pain Relievers and Fever Reducers:
Active Ingredients: Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen.
These medications can help reduce fever and relieve
aches and pains associated with a cold. Acetaminophen
and ibuprofen are commonly found in multi-symptom cold
medications.
Multi-Symptom Cold Medications:
Multi-symptom cold medications aim to provide relief for
multiple cold symptoms in a single dose. They may include
decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and
pain relievers.

An Introduction to Country Life -
• • •
By Tracey Pruitt
Special to
The Times
Thank God
for the
Country
Boy and
Planter’s
Electric!
Life on the farm can
be dramatically different
than city life. This fact
is glaringly apparent
when one has to fill their
bathtub with water in
order to flush the toilet
if the lights go out! This
week, as Hurricane Idalia
approached, my husband
and I prepared our little
fami. We fed the animals,
ensuring their shelter
was secure. We secured
lightweight items in the
yard that could potentially
become projectiles (like
aluminum fishing boats).
We also made a ham and
butter-beans (with ham
hocks) so we could ride out
the storm! Country boys
gotta eat!
I typically commute
each day to Savannah for
work. However, due to the
uncertainty of the storm, I
chose to work from home.
My intention was to work
from home and then be
back at work on Thursday
morning. My plans
changed with a flicker of
our lights on Wednesday at
approximately six o’clock.
In the country, if your lights
flicker one time, you are
possibly ok. If they flicker
three times, prepare for
“lights out”. In this case,
they flickered five times
before everything finally
went dark. I did not panic,
conditions had been stable
all day. We experienced
some rain and wind but it
did not seem particularly
serious.
The first thing I attempted
to do when the lights went
out was to call Planter’s
Electric and report the
outage. However, I was
unable to call due to my
phone not working without
the internet connection.
This is another difference
when living in the country
versus the city. I will admit
that I sometimes shake
my phone to get texts to
go through (it works - try
it)! Two hours passed
in the quite darkness. I
attempted to call Planter’s
again and this time was
able to successfully report
the outage. It is important
to know that I once sat in
the dark with my neighbors
for four hours (while
living in the city). When I
finally reported the outage,
the power company told
me that I was the first to
report the outage in my
neighborhood. Everyone
assumed someone else had
reported it!
Once we reported the
outage, my husband
suggested that we take
a ride to see if we could
determine the issue. As we
left our dirt road, we noted
that all of our neighbors
were without power.
It was only when we
approached the city limits
that bright lights shown
in the darkness. We went
home and waited patiently,
knowing that as soon as
safely possible. Planter’s
would restore service. At
eleven o’clock, my hopes
were dashed when the
lights briefly flickered like
a light strobe before going
dark. I realized that we
must have a more serious
problem.
As dawn approached
on Thursday, we were
in search of two things:
the Planters Truck and
generators. As we drove to
town, my heart sank when
I realized that not only did
our neighbors lack power,
most of the city did as well.
We noted that Planters
were at the substation
and they were working
to resolve our issues. We
ate at Wahl’s (one of the
only restaurants open)
and listened to the patrons
discuss status particulars.
By the time we had finished
our breakfast, most of
the city’s power had been
restored.
Later that day, in true
country boy fashion, my
husband drove around to
find the Planter’s truck.
He showed them where
we typically have power
outage problems. He also
traced the lines to help them
determine the problem.
The Planter’s electric
crew were thorough and
professional and we were
very grateful when our
power was restored.
This week -1 am grateful
for country boys and the
power company!
