Nyquil--long term?

Hi everyone,

I have a question for you. I've had cold symptoms this past week with a horrible cough that would make it very difficult for me to try to sleep. I went back on Nyquil. I was taking Nyquil for many years when I lived in a household that had mold, dust, and chemical exposure.

The Nyquil worked better than my sleep supplements. Does anyone else take it and does it do harm long-term?

Thanks!

Hi almost medfree,

I'm new here - but since your name implies you like to go natural, I have a suggestion. Enzymetica make enzymes for just about every health problem. They are a well-respected company and I very much like their products. These do extensive research, so their products are not cheap. They make an enzyme formulation called "Muco Stop". It must be taken on an empty stomach (otherwise the enzymes will digest the food and not do the work they are designed to do).

Muco Stop dissolves the mucous that is most likely causing your cough. Another helpful item to get is some saline nose spray. Those two things should help eliminate the problem and the need for Nyquil (which it would seem would cause you other problems due to the chemical sensitivity you have).

Good luck!

I can't use it, but check the label. I think it's pretty high alcohol content.

I really like the saline nasal sprays. No meds in them, just salt water, and they do an excellent job of clearing out your sinuses. I will have to give that a go tonight!!
