Question 6

is it ok to take nyquil while taking antibiotics? i was always told that alcohol can kill antibiotics, and if i remember correctly, nyquil contains alcohol doesn't it?

Accepted Answer

: It is okay to take Nyquil when you are on antibiotics and you will have faster symptom relief if you do.  The antibiotic will only treat the infection but not inflammation that causes congestion or mucous production, drainage and cough.  If you would like to avoid alcohol and still have similar relief-related meds, you may try Mucinex DM and Benadryl plus Sudafed(pseudoephedrine) &amp; stop the Nyquil

Question 7

Yes: I see no problem with the combination. Whether Zpak is appropriate for your "infection" is another issue.

Accepted Answer

Should be OK: That should not be a problem.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Sounds like you have a significant sinus problem. Consider that you may have an infection where a Z pack is not indicated or even an allergy problem.  I would advise that you seek an appointment with an ear,nose, &amp; throat physician very soon.
