Dosages and Administration

• For fever: The recommended dosage for 8-month-olds is 5 to 10 mg/kg of body weight every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum daily dose of 50 mg/kg.
• For pain: The recommended dosage for 8-month-olds is 5 to 10 mg/kg of body weight every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum daily dose of 30 mg/kg.

To calculate the correct dosage based on your child’s weight:

1. Weigh your child in kilograms (kg).
2. Multiply your child’s weight (in kg) by 5 to get the lower end of the dose range.
3. Multiply your child’s weight (in kg) by 10 to get the higher end of the dose range.

For example, if your 8-month-old weighs 10 kg:

• Lower end of dosage range: 10 kg x 5 = 50 mg
• Higher end of dosage range: 10 kg x 10 = 100 mg

Therefore, you would give your child 50 to 100 mg of Infant Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours as needed.

Important Precautions

• Never exceed the maximum daily dosage.
• Do not give Infant Tylenol for more than 5 consecutive days without consulting your doctor.
• If your child’s fever persists or worsens, or if pain does not improve, seek medical attention immediately.
• If you have any concerns or questions about using Infant Tylenol, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Conclusion

Infant Tylenol can provide safe and effective relief for fever and pain in 8-month-olds when used according to the recommended dosage and precautions. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your little one receives the appropriate care when needed.
