Can Metronidazole Be Taken Along With Cold Medicine?

I was prescribed metronidazole but have not started taking it, I came down with a cold yesterday. I was told not to drink alcohol on this medication because it will make me throw up, I started using DayQuil today and Thereflu for my cold symptoms. Will this upset my stomach if I begin taking metronidazole while taking cold medication?
