I took cheratussin ac at 10 pm. it is now almost 3am and i can't sleep due to coughing. is it safe to take nyquil if it's only been 5 hrs?

Yes: The first med you took contained codeine and you almost certainly took too low a dose as evidenced by the fact that you are still coughing. More importantly you have to find out why you're coughing. See your doc today!
