Answer 4

If you honestly think NyQuil/DayQuil is an effective treatment, do whatever you want with it.  From my experience, you'd have to consume a considerable quantity (more than one small-sized bottle) of those products to cause an adverse reaction, unless you have some special susceptibility.

If you have a cold, I recommend that you check out Vitamin C "mega"dosing instead.  Two grams was enough to stop my last cold in its tracks (at one gram every two hours, in a 120-lb adult), but if you attempt this, EXPECT mild diarrhea. (Vitamin C treatment may be contraindicated by gastrointestinal disorders.)

More on vitamin C:  "It is made internally by almost all organisms, humans being the most well-known exception." [1]

"Most mammals can synthesize their own vitamin C in their liver or kidney, and when they become sick they synthesize much larger amounts [citation needed] [2]"

If you have a chronic cough, do not take cough suppressants to attempt to control it.  Good luck.

Answer 5

Dayquil isn't working if it wears off way before the time you can take it again. Try Robatussin.
