                                    Brief Answer:
Absolutely OK.
Detailed Answer:
hi,
  The drug you took (multi symptom cold medicine )  has the constituents: Acetaminophen + diphenhydramine + phenylephrine.
 Two table spoons are within therapeutic range. There is absolutely no need to worry. A little sedation can be expected, which will fade away in a day.
 Hope i am clear.
