Nobody answered you yet? I'm not in SH but I can try to help. The bottom line is that any pharmacy will have imported cold and flu medicine! The Chinese writing will be on one side, and English on the reverse (you will have to pick up package and look at it to see what it is, because Chinese side will be facing out). The staff can show you where the cold remedies are located on the shelf. Tylenol cold is in a white box with some green on it. (That's the only one I have at my house right now.) To tell the staff you have a cold, say "Wo gan mao le!" Of course, it's helpful to have a small pocket dictionary, even write the words down ahead of time so you will have it at the ready. Also, if you know the chemical name for the medicine you are looking for, write that down and let the staff look it up in their medical dictionary. (I find it useful to research the chemical name before leaving so I'm sure to spell it right. You can do this by, say, finding the Johnson & Johnson web site that lists the ingredients in tylenol cold, etc)
