Question
is it ok to give a dog tylenol sinus and allergy pills? or is there anything that i can give him that i can buy over the counter?

Answer
Hi Karen - Please don't give the tylenol sinus and allergy.
If your dog is having some allergy issues you can give benadryl tablets :
*** Benadryl (diphenhydramine)***
Typical dosages: for cats and dogs under 30 pounds, give 10 mg ... dogs 30 to 50 pounds, give 25 mg ... dogs over 50 pounds, give 50 mg. Use only the plain Benadryl formula*****

As for pain, you can do a baby asprin 81 mg.  ( 1 per 8-10 hrs)
Don't overdo asprin because it can be hard on the belly.

Last, NuVET Plus is a great supplement that helps dog's with allergies.
