default
Posted on Tue, 31 Jan 2017
Question: I took Benadryl 6 hours ago for a stuffy nose and I have a cough. I have a low fever now with the clogged nose. Should I take NyQuil to relieve the fever/cough/nose? And when should I take it? How many hours between the medications?

Brief Answer:
Take tylenol!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You most likely have an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. I will recommend that you take 1000mg of tylenol every 8hours. In addition, eat well, drink much water, rest and exercise often to hasten recovery. Continue with benadryl as well.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
