It is said that the と conditional must not be used where the main clause
expresses any of the following: an intention, a suggestion, a command, an
obligation, a request, etc. However, I've encountered `と良いです` a lot. E.g.
`すぐに薬を飲むと良いですよ。` Should this be considered grammatically wrong, but in fact
readily acceptable in reality?

*Trivial: I'm trying to tackle this beast called conditionals in Japanese, and the fact that various sources I've read online seem to have contradictory explanations/definitions isn't helping. I've looked all over the Net.

question
politeness conditionals i-adjectives
Conditionals: と良いだ/です should be wrong?
It's no problem as it is. While the whole sentence implies recommendation, the
main clause 良い itself is not any of modal expressions you listed but a
statement, literally, "if you take medicine immediately, that's good".
