Sometimes when you go to the pharmacy, if it's a chain, check what you need to buy first. They may have a coupon you can clip to your rewards card. And if they don't, the pharmacy tends to have generics of pretty much all the OTC meds available, and they tend to be cheaper, so you might try buying the generic. I read a study once that said generic OTC meds are as good as brand name, and it's not worth it to buy brand name (unless you have a coupon making it cheaper than the generic). Of course, it's not easy if you don't feel well, but I have found even in the pharmacy itself, if you ask the worker how to check if they have coupons for X product, they will do the search right there on your phone for you (though maybe that differs by location, my grocery pharmacy is super helpful with everything). Even Walgreens, where the pharmacy itself is not the best, the store workers are more than willing to help you with OTC products and finding store coupons on their app and equivalent generic OTC meds.
