Question
hello my name is Dakota Reynolds and my mom is very sick she doesn't know with what she is sickened with but she takes Vicodin at nite for her back and i was wondering if its ok to give her some Advil cold and sinus for her "sickness"

Answer
Hi,Dakota,
Advil Cold and Sinus contains ibuprofen for pain,and sudafed for nasal congestion. It will not help for a runny nose,just a stuffy nose and sinuses. It is all right to take it with Vicodin unless she has high blood pressure. Advil Cold and Sinus may increase blood pressure.
Otherwise, it is OK for her to take it. Hope this helps, Mary
