Alka Seltzer Plus Severe Cold takes away my sinus headache, and congestion almost immediately. It works extremely well for my cold symptoms. It does not make me drowsy. Great for head and bodyaches.

Works great for my husband
My husband will only take these, he says it works quickly. If you have asthma or COPD do not take these, I found that out the hard way, the acetaminophen will cause bad breathing problems for you, at least it did for me.
