Avoid Tylenol (acetaminophen) Cold: Avoid "Tylenol Cold Severe", unless ordered to by a doctor. It contains phenylephrine, which doesn't treat the viruses which cause colds, & which has side effects including increased blood pressure, racing heart, risk for stroke and heart attack, dry mouth, insomnia, urinary retention - by drying your mucus membranes, it can prolong your infection.
