Hello, we were advised by some friends who lived in China for several years that we should bring over the counter children's medicine with us. (liquid motrin, liquid tylenol, liquid cold medicine, etc.) They were there years ago, so things may have changed. Does anyone have any insights with this?

you can buy all these medicine you have mentioned here. those are very cheap and freely available in Chengdu. Meanwhile, you can try some good Chinese medicine too. But there may be western medicine also added to some extent in Chinese medicine.

Thank you, sri123. I would like to try Chinese medicine also, but I don't know what kind to get.

I've always found the pharmacists in my local pharmacy to be very helpful and informative. Whenever I come in sick or with a problem and describe to them my symptoms, the Chinese medicine they recommend is always what I need.
Try your local pharmacy. If they seem to be unhelpful or knowledgeable, then you can always try one of the other five or so bound to be within walking distance.
