Dextromethorphan and alcoholic throat gargles?

ctzh2002
So I currently have a sore throat, and 5 days my doctor gave me dextromethorphan syrup to treat it. I went back today again because my sore throat didn't go away, and a different doctor (in the same clinic) got me this thymol gargle that contained alcohol. The dextromethorphan specifically stated to avoid alcoholic drinks, so can I use both dextromethorphan and the alcoholic throat gargle together?

Thanks
