parent who gave Tylenol pm to 3 year old?

That person must be crazy you never give stuff like that to a child!!

Would you be nervous if it was just Benadryl allergy medication and acetaminophen? That's all that stuff is.

I grant that it's an _extremely_ stupid thing to do, but it's far from lethal.

"How is Tylenol PM different from Benadryl® brand products?

Each gelcap/geltab/caplet of Tylenol PM contains 500 mg of the pain reliever, acetaminophen, and 25 mg of the sleep aid, diphenhydramine HCl. Classified as an antihistamine with sedating properties, diphenhydramine is the same active ingredient found in many Benadryl® products."

That's a huge whack of drug for a toddler, and given the 'may cause excitabilty' warnings with children's Benadryl, I have no idea what the person was trying to do.

Got a link to the original post? Sure it's not a troll?

Tylenol PM is NOT for 3 year olds! Some products like this can cause liver damage if ingested by young kids.

I have never heard of this, however it is ok if it is Children's Tylenol. Also there are suggestions as to what you should do when giving Tylenol to a child under 12, usually consulting a doctor first.

First the motrin is sturdy yet you additionally can substitute it with tylenol so as that she is getting something greater in lots of situations.............the antibiotics ought to kick in interior approximately 24 hours and which will help some until eventually then i chanced on with my young babies lots of jello, icecream, popsicles and mashed potatoes look to maintain the throat from hurting lots while they consume. ensure she beverages you do no longer want her getting dehydrated on precise of the strep. as a techniques via fact something of the family contributors ensure you do no longer drink or consume after her and which will help out lots. i be attentive to lots of folk say a baby decrease than 2 can no longer get strep throat yet they are in a position to.

what r they crazy. what was the reason to do it and you should call the childs dr if you know him or her. she could kill her child. if you get know where then you need to call the state. the child can get really ill and end up with liver damage. do what your heart feels and protect this child.

What are they trying to do kill the kid??? The sedatives in something like that are *way* too strong for a kid. I don't think I'd give it to anyone less than teenaged.

That is absolutely horrible and that parent should have there child taken away. i would report them if I were you.

I'm not defending this parent.. but comeon parents.. lets help the parent.. instead of GET THEM! TURN THEM IN! we all make mistakes..

I sae that also...that is an adult dosage
