I have a friend with a severe pulmonary infection which has been caused by an allergic reaction to something. Professionals cannot pinpoint what that allergy might be. Instead she was heavily medicated by several professionals, with no positive results. At one point she was coughing so badly, she gave herself a severe headache. I gave her two Tylenol Extra Strength from my own supply... Not only did her headache dissipate, but her cough was arrested... The upshot of it is that she takes two Tylenol Extra Strength every 4 hours to control her cough...One caplet is not effective.... I did not realize that Tylenol had an antihistamine in the compound. We are delighted. Whatever works, I say.

Question: Why are the doctors so reluctant to suggest tylenol; instead they overprescribe expensive, ineffectual, meds, with horrendous side effects.
