Giving tylenol to an infant- what dosage?
Lil Frankie got his 1st vaccines today and the Dr said to give him Tylenol if he starts to act up/seem like he's not feeling well. I went out and got it and it says to consult a dr for the dosage for any weight under 24lbs/under 2 years. Now that its after hrs and no ones there I'm not sure what to give.
He weighs 10lbs, 13oz- does anyone know what dose I should give him? Should I give a little less than half the dosage for a 24lb child?
