Tylenol (acetaminophen) Products: Generally anything with tylenol (acetaminophen) in the name is considered safe. Tylenol (acetaminophen) cold and sinus, for example. For worsening symptoms such as fevers, see your doctor.

Yes: You can take Robitussin and tylenol (acetaminophen) safely. You can also use saline nasal spray. You should talk to your doctor about taking decongestants.
