hello and welcome to health care magic,
You need to space the medications at least 6 to 8 hours apart.
In any case, if the blocked nose is the problem then you are better off with just a steam inhalation and if that does not help then you must consult an ENT
Codeine is a prescription drug only for severe dry cough and should only be take in the guidance of an ENT and is not for nose block in any way
