Brief Answer: Absolutely OK. Detailed Answer: hi, The drug you took (multi symptom cold medicine ) has the constituents: Acetaminophen + diphenhydramine + phenylephrine. Two table spoons are within therapeutic range. There is absolutely no need to worry. A little sedation can be expected, which will fade away in a day. Hope i am clear.
