Have Cold, Cough, Headache, Sinus Pressure. Took Advil, Codein Syrup. Is This Overdose Of Medicine?

I just took 10 ml of Delsym to help with my cold and cough. I also took 2 Advil for my headache and sinus pressure. I am still coughing so I took a teaspoon of codeine cough syrup thinking it would quiet my cough so that I can sleep but now I m worried that I have taken too much and I want to make sure that I haven t just poisoned myself.

Hi,
Nothing to worry, you might not be having over dose of medicines.
You may get little bit sleepy.
Now onwards you may take either Delsymn or codeine syrup.
For body ache you may take Advil, one tablet.
Ok and take care.
