it just works great. daytime stuff helps me through the day. Nightime stuff knocks me out so I can rest at night

Because I've tried the others and they don't work for me. Nyquil and Dayquil are the only things that seem to give relief, even if my symptoms don't match up completely. If it hits two out of three symptoms, I feel so much better.

The aches in my feet and toes from a flu are gone after the first dosage. The alcohol may make you drowsy, but you take it to sleep and it cuts right thru the phlegm, you'll be clear headed in terms of congestion after the first dosage.

has always worked for me and my family. Now that it is available in the pill form it is a lot easier to give to my teenage kids.

Robitussin gives me stomach aches. I have a ulcer, and therefore, I can not take it. I am not a big fan of Theraflu, and have always lived by Nyquil. Nyquil puts me to sleep, and that is the benefactor when sick. Without sleep, your body doesn't have a fighting chance in **** to recoupe.

AS a Registered Nurse I have known the complications of flu and colds can result in pneumonia. It is important to expel mucous and keep lungs from congestion or to relieve congestion if it has gotten to that point.
  • Anonymous . 3+ yrs. ago
Because it thins mucus so it is easy to expel it out

I currently have Respiratory Viral Infection, I have tried niquil and I still kept waking up in the middle of the night to cough. However, THERAFUL night always seems to knock me out and I barely wake up to cough. Also, I feel more refreshed in the morning when taking Theraful.

Works within 20 minutes of taking, and you feel an instant warming feeing to sooth your sore throat, although it seems to make me cough more, it helps me clean out the mucus I have, reduces my fever symptoms, I always use this brand when I get a flu.
