Yes you can; and there shouldn't be any side effects unless you have an allergy to one or the other of the medications. Penicillin should only be taken while under a doctor's care. Tylenol should only be taken exactly according to the directions; the difference between a correct dose and a potentially serious overdose is remarkably slim with acetaminophen (paracetamol) products.

You can take both together, as they both perform different functions. There should be no side effects, given you have no side effects from either individually. Of course you should not exceed the recommended dosage of either. An Emergency Room doctor once told me the two drugs work on "different channels" in your body and are safe to take together. ibuprofen (Motrin) is an anti-inflammatory and acetaminophen (Tylenol) is an analgesic; one reduces swelling and inflammation and the other "blocks" pain. So, for example, if you have a sinus headache caused by swelling in your sinuses, using both drugs together may be more effective than just one of them. I often use both together and have never had any side effects.

What are the side effects of Tylenol?

Tylenol actually has many many side effects at low doses - including drowsiness, paradoxical insomnia, itching, and many others. Due to aggressive marketing and lawsuits, you will not find an actual list in any of the normal places (drugs.com, wikipedia, rxlist.com, webmd). The owners of these sites have agreed not to post the stats on common side effects. Go see. McNeil-PPC, the makers of tylenol, attempt to spread the myth that tylenol has no side effects. In response to questions of side effects, the makers (and the sites listed) often just state "Side effects: Tylenol is generally well tolerated at therapeutic doses." But this is true of MANY drugs, they will still list common side effects and often their frequency. Only Tylenol is attempting to operate under the myth (believed even by many doctors) that it has no side effects.
