How much infant tylenol do I give my son?

Question

How much infant tylenol do I give my son? He is 4 1/2 mons. 16.13 pounds and 26 1/2 inches.

Answer 1

Do you see the line on the package that says "under 2 call a doctor"? Do it, they know your child's weight and history.

Answer 2

This is what i use when i babysit (i'm 29 years old).. i'm assuming the child is over 12lbs .

Total amount (mg) 80
Drops 80 mg/dropper 1
Syrup: 160 mg/5 ml (1 tsp) 0.5


Repeat every 4-6 hours as needed. Do not exceed 5 doses within a 24 hour period.
Note: Acetaminophen also comes in 80, 120, 325, and 650 mg suppositories.
Do not use under 3 months of age (reason: fever during the first 12 weeks of life needs to be documented in a medical setting and if present, your infant needs a complete evaluation).
Do not use if patient has active liver disease.
Acetaminophen is the preferred drug for treatment of fever and pain.
Many people have few, if any, side effects. However, if you are taking acetaminophen and develop severe vomiting, diarrhea, or yellow eyes, contact your physician.

Answer 3

How should I take Tylenol?

Use Tylenol exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
If you are treating a child, use a pediatric form of Tylenol. Use only the special dose-measuring dropper or oral syringe that comes with the specific pediatric form you are using. Carefully follow the dosing directions on the medicine label.
You may need to shake the liquid before each use. Follow the directions on the medicine label.
The Tylenol Meltaways chewable tablet must be chewed thoroughly before you swallow it. The tablet will soften in mouth for ease of chewing.
Stop taking Tylenol and call your doctor if:
- you still have a fever after 3 days of use;
- you still have pain after 7 days of use (or 5 days if treating a child);
- you have a skin rash, ongoing headache, or any redness or swelling; or
- if your symptoms get worse, or if you have any new symptoms.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain lab tests for glucose (sugar) in the urine. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Tylenol.
Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.

Answer 4

I would strongly urge you to consult with your pediatrician or pharmacist (who will most likely refer you to the pediatrician). At that age, great care should be exercised before administering any medications.

That being said, based on your son's weight, I believe that 0.8 mL would be the dosage (using Tylenol Infants concentrated drops).

Answer 5

Never come online asking people how much medication to give your child because someone can or will give you the wrong information and harm your child just because you took the advice from someone online.

If you have a medicaton question you should address it to your doctor or pediatrician or local pharmicist.

Answer 6

You should really call your doctor about this and not rely on strangers on the internet. You know that some idiot is going to give you a really elevated amount to be "funny" and your baby's life is way to important for that.

Answer 7

It depends on the weight not the age if you don't give him enough hell still be in pain but if you give him to much cause he was born small but is at that age is bad so go by weight if you dont know how much to give him call your ped

Answer 8

Call your pediatrician. He or she should be able to give you a quick answer over the phone. Do not rely on information that others may give you here.
