What Causes Severe Stomach Pain After Taking Dayquil?
Hello. I took dayquil twice early today. I paid attention to the four hour change so I know it was ok. It is now about 7 hours later, about 3 a.m. and I woke up feeling horrible. I didnt want to risk any stomach issues by taking nyquil so I was wondering if you thought taking theraflu would be effective/safe. Please let me know. Signed, sick as a dog.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of dayquil. So, I suggest you to take a tablet of ranitidine each morning while using dayquil. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Rest and stay warm
-Warm drinks
-Have a steamy shower
-Menthol can help
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
