My 15 1/2 month old daughter (27lbs) is taking Tempra 1.5 mL for her teeth, but she does not seem to be getting any relief. Can I give her tylenol for 2 years?

Question

I give it to her every 4 hours when she has a big toothache, 1.5ml of tempra 0-23 months for 23lbs! But as I mentioned, she weighs 27 lbs.

Hello, ma'am, The dose of tylenol (Tempra) must be calculated according to the child's weight and not according to his age. The difference between the 2 products you are talking about (Tempra 0-23 months versus Tempra 2-5 years) is in the concentration of the medication What is the concentration of Tempra that you are currently giving your child and how often is the medication given? Thank you for the clarification Continue to use the same product (Tempra 0-23 months), but increase the dose to 2 mL every 4-6 hours for a maximum of 5 doses per 24 hours. If relief does not seem optimal at this dosage, do not hesitate to switch to a branch. We will offer you other treatment alternatives. We hope to have answered your question.
