Liquids probably don't have gelatin.

well, if you're talking about vegan, vegan--everything OTC is tested on animals. the only exceptions would possibly be 'alternative' medicines.

for stuffy nose, i would use saline nose drops.

for aches--i would prescribe bed rest and a heating pad.

lots of liquids, sleep (as much as you can get).

tea and vitamin C for sore throats and tea for belly aches.

hope you feel better.
