Comment:
DayQuil works to mitigate my cold symptoms (runny nose, body aches, and headache) every time. The only downside is that as soon as 4 hours are up, my symptoms return. It then becomes a question of how long to wait until the next dose, since you should only take 4 doses a day.

It worked, but the capsules were too big for me to swallow with my sore throat.

The Severe version of Dayquil made my whole family sick. I don't know what's in this that did it but within 30 minutes, we all wanted to vomit and had major headaches. I don't recommend this product at all

Doesn't not help get rid of your cold. Robitussin works much better.
