Patient's question:
My baby is six months old and has a fever. The fever reducer should be given according to the age, which is 1 tube, and according to the weight, which is 1.5 tubes. How should I give it to my baby? I gave it according to the weight, will I give it too much? I'm so worried.Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, the child may have a fever caused by a cold. Tylenol is just a fever reducer and treats only the symptoms, not the root cause. For children under 1 week old, the dosage should be based on body weight. It is recommended to add an antiviral oral liquid and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, as this is not a face-to-face consultation and the advice is for reference only. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby is 6 months old and has a fever. Should I take Tylenol according to the age?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
