A member asked:
Is it ok to take nyquil at daytime if you have fever? and not sleep right after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but NyQuil has: an antihistamine in its ingredients that usually makes people very drowsy, so it would not be safe to drive or use equipment that requires alertness. If fever is the only symptom, then Ibuprofen or acetaminophen would be a better choice.
