Dayquil has acetaminophen in it. If you like your liver, you'll stay away from it - especially if you drink at all.

Colds are viral, so like Chaucer said, mucinex (D, to help prevent your nose from running), and zinc are your best bet. Drink lots of water. Wait it out.

Same here. Started feeling it Sunday night :to: I ran my body ragged for the last 2 weeks, working late, going out later, getting fukked up a lot on very little sleep. :flabbynsick:

Got sudafed 12 hr, zicam, lotion tissues, and OJ. :jawalrus:

Edit: I gotta get that mucinex, I've ran through box of tissues I bought at lunch yesterday.

Also spit out all the mucus that comes up when you cough. If you can, make yourself cough so you can get it out. Ever since I started doing that my colds would last no longer than a day or so. Also, as soon as you get that pre-cold throat scratch start medicating and spitting out the post nasal drip.

Is it mucinex D?

Yep. The decongestant in it (pseudoephedrine) dries your nose up. The guaifenesin keeps your airway from drying out and keeps the cold from getting down into your chest and really messing you up, provided you stay hydrated.

If you have a non-productive cough that's bothering you, you can also supplement with a cough suppressant as needed. The most common is dextromethorphan. But if you're coughing stuff up, let it happen.

Got over mine a few days ago but it was pretty mild. Not as bad as last season, thought I was about to die.
