Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dayquil is not recommended for stomach pain. In fact, it may increase it by causing more gastritis.
For your gastritis, you need to take a PPI tablet like pantoprazole or omeprazole on empty stomach and avoid any tea or coffee or spicy food items.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ashish Verma
