Any headache or fever reducing medicine that dissolves in water would do
I guess. A friend of mine had a cold and brought some anti-fever, non
recipe, medicine in a plastic tube which was flat pills that you put in
water to dissolve. We were at a hotel in a hot and humid country,
Dominican Republic, and we woke up in the middle of the night when a
loud "pop" sounded. The same was repeated the next night. In the
mornings we couldn't understand why the lid of the tube was thrown on
the floor and it was put on again and it took a couple of days for us to
realize what had happened. Some moisture had gotten inside the tube and
the pills where starting to dissolve which raised the pressure in the
tube which then made the lid to pop off. ;)
