Too much cough syrup?!
Question: Too much cough syrup!?
So I've had a horrible cough for two days now, causing me to sleep very little last night, and have very little patience at this point!. In a huff, I just unscrewed the top to my Tussin CF (contains DXM, Guiafenesin, and Phenylephrine) and just took a swig!. Bad idea!. I probably took 1-2 ounces rather than the 2 teaspoon dosage!. I just want to go to bed and try to get some sleep (for the first time in 30+ hours!.!.!.) Should I be worried about having OD symptoms!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

No a "swig" isn't nearly enough to make you OD on cough medicine, I chugged a whole bottle in October and I had a stomachache for an hour or two and that's all, you'll be fine! Also a shot of whiskey keeps you from coughing WAY better than any cough syrup will ever do!. My parents used to mix a shot of whiskey in with some honey and sugar when I was little and it kept me from coughing for 9/10 hours!Www@Answer-Health@Com
