Tylenol

I recommend Tylenol for fever, but it's also helpful for aches and pains, and many sick children will sleep better with some Tylenol. Please note that the generic brand is just as effective as the name brand. Also, even though Tylenol is quite common, it is capable of being dangerous in high doses. Keep it out of the hands of children.

You can use Tylenol every 4 hours as needed. You can use it alongside Motrin or Advil. Do not use Tylenol alongside any other product containing Acetaminophen. Use Tylenol only as directed and only at the doses specified. For Infant's Tylenol, use only the dropper provided.
