View full FDA label ↗Tylenol Cold Plus Mucus Severe is a medication used to temporarily relieve symptoms of the cold or flu, such as minor aches and pains, headaches, sore throats, nasal congestion, and cough, while also helping to loosen mucus. It works by reducing fever and easing discomfort. Adults and children aged 12 and over should take 30 mL every 4 hours as needed, but not more than 150 mL in a 24-hour period unless directed by a doctor. A key warning to remember is that taking too much can lead to severe liver damage, especially if you consume more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in a day or drink three or more alcoholic beverages daily. If you are taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), which is used for certain mental health conditions, you should not use this medication.
