Brief Answer:
you can take Nyquil

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

Mucinex contains guaifenesin, and Nyquil contains acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine.

It is fine you can take Nyquil. But what are your symptoms. I would suggest you to take steam inhalation.

Do you have expectoration or only just dry couch, do you have any other symptom like, headache, nasal congestion?
