Expectorant✓ FDA-verified

Tylenol Sinus Severe is a medication that helps relieve symptoms from hay fever, respiratory allergies, and the common cold, such as sinus congestion, pressure headaches, nasal congestion, minor aches and pains, and fever. It works by loosening mucus in your airways and reducing fever. For adults and children aged 12 and older, it is taken as 2 caplets every 4 hours, but you should not take more than 10 caplets in a 24-hour period. A key warning is that it contains acetaminophen, and taking more than 4,000 mg in a day can cause severe liver damage. If you are taking the blood thinner warfarin, you should ask a doctor before using this medication.
