It should be written on the side of the bottle/package. It also should have it listed by weight, not age.

I would not give him Sudaphed without calling the ER... ask for a nurse there. Medicine is dosed according to body weight and I don't know what your grandson weighs. The ER nurse should be able to tell you whether to give Sudaphed, and how much, if you can tell them the child's body weight.
If you have a recliner, let him try to sleep there with his head elevated; otherwise use an extra pillow.
Vicks or some other rub might help for tonight, but I would take him to the doctor tomorrow, especially is he has any fever.

my box says

30mg or one tab for up to12

12 and over is 1 or 2 tabs 30-60mg.

So the answer is probably he only should take 1.

don't know about sesures but the sudefed will dry out all your organs not just sinus. I get drymouth and dehydrate if i take too much too long.

Try reading the label on the box. It should tell you the proper dosage and if there are any reactions to medical conditions.

forget the meds, try hot chichen broth or a vaporizer with a couple drops of peppermint oil.
