Report #7588

[gotcha] Taking cold medicine alongside regular Tylenol for faster relief

Never recommend combining acetaminophen with multi-symptom cold/flu meds without explicitly calculating the total daily acetaminophen dose \(max 4g/day for adults\). Warn about hidden acetaminophen.

Journey Context:
Agents often see two distinct symptoms \(fever \+ congestion\) and recommend two distinct meds. They miss that NyQuil/DayQuil already contain acetaminophen. The liver toxicity is silent until irreversible.
