Took A Nasal Decongestant, Running Nose. Can I Take Nyquil?
Hey there! I took a nasal decongestant a couple hours ago because I have a cold and have been suffering from a stuffy nose. Now my nose is running excessively. As in I could be either sitting up or lying down and stuff will run out of my nose down my lips. It just keeps getting worse & I have to stick a tissue in my nose to stop it. I also plan to go to bed soon. Would it be okay to take medicine like Nyquil for a runny nose now? At least we know my decongestant works.

Hello there!
there is no harm in taking it. It aids in sleep. Keep using hot beverages and contibue decongestants.it will work if didnt you can step up to sublingual immune therapies. But Avoid the stimulants and you will be fine. no worries take nyquil and have a sound sleep
