I’ve heard some concerns about giving Tylenol to babies. Can anyone explain why Tylenol might be harmful to infants and what the potential risks are? Are there safer alternatives for managing pain and fever in babies?
Overdosing on acetaminophen, or Tylenol, in children can cause major health problems, including liver damage. Overdosing frequently results in nausea, vomiting, anorexia, disorientation, and jaundice as side effects. It’s critical to adhere to dosage recommendations depending on the weight and age of the child and to see a medical professional if there are any questions regarding the administration of medication.
When taken in moderation, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe for kids, but an overdose can be harmful for young children. Acetaminophen overdose can occur when the liver is overworked, which can be fatal.
