A member asked:
I have a sore throat but i don't have anything else but dayquil right now and i wanna know if is bad to drink some at night?

It is OK: Do not take more then the recommended dosage, otherwise this is fine. The big difference between dayquil and nyquil is that nyquil has extra ingredients to make you sleepy. You should not take nyquil during the day unless you plan to spend the day in bed.
