There is a synthetic narcotic called 'dextromethorphan' which is found in cough syrups, but not tylenol. In older cough medicines, and tylenol, there was a narcotic by the name of 'codeine'. Hope I helped.

What pain relief can be used with antibiotics?

Generally Tylenol or Motrin are both safe to use with antibiotics. If you are taking stronger prescription strength painkillers such as ultram, lortab, or percoset, these too are safe to use with antibiotics. The key thing to remember when taking Tylenol is never to take too much. No more than 4 grams per day from all sources. Be sure to count all sources (many cold medicines and cough syrups contain Tylenol (acetaminophen). Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and take it with food if you have a tendency to have stomach upset. If you have high blood pressure, a history of ulcers, kidney problems, or asthma, it is a good idea to ask your doctor or pharmacist to help you select a pain reliever.
