Is Runny Nose, Cough, Dizziness, Fainting And Low Appetite After Being On Tylenol Concerning?
Daughter 14 had temp of 102 yesterday, runny nose, coughing, we think flu, today this AM normal. laying down yesterday to rest, took Tylenol last night, before bed at 6:45 PM, this AM got up walked from one room to another distance maybe 15' stood in front off mirror and felt light headed and fainted, then walked back to bed, is thirsty, has not eaten much , never had any fainting before, we think it is just lack of eating that much since she is not feeling well maybe she is weak. first time in along time she has ever been sick, she plays soccer, basketball and is always in good health -- do you think we should be concerned

Hello
Your daughter is having running nose , cough ,fever took tylenol and fainted next morning after she wake up .
Faintness may be due to these possibilities , these include :
1 Side effect of paracetamol , some times few patient feel such type of dizziness after tylenol. This is very common and not a cause of concern.
2 faintness may be due to fever or cold or sore throat , this is also common.
3 Hypotension due to fever and sweating ( dehydration).
Faintness is very common and not a cause of concern particularly when your daughter is a soccer player , so all these are common ( faintness ).
But if fever or coughing remains after 3-4 days then consult a physician and get his opinion, at present not a cause of concern.
Good luck.
