Sometimes you might have to find the right pharmacist that has the time and the desire to help however." My SO agrees the dosing looks appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582753 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 18:09:36 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2582753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: exactly right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582751 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 18:07:24 +0000 Mrs D 2582751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: thanks for the reply...did I do the math right on dosage?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582720 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 17:21:52 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2582720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: it should be totally fine!

Our pediatrician didn't recommend mixing into a full bottle in the event they won't drink it all, then you don't know how much medicine they got. But we used this everyday for about 4 months with reflux meds.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Hospitals-Medicine-Dispenser/dp/B002RJKH4G" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Hospitals-Medicine-Dispenser/dp/B002RJKH4G</a></p> <p>eta: I know that's not really answering the question, but it's another means to try to get the meds in.</p> <p>Also, if you want to try the syringe again, aim as far back in the cheek as possible and then blow in your DD's face to force her to swallow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582684 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:36:37 +0000 Shantuck 2582684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your doctor have an after hours number? I'd call before administering to get the right dosage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582676 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:25:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2582676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I wouldnt use them on an infant. I would force the liquid tylenol as mean as that sounds or better yet mix it in with yogurt or juice<br /> My LO was given tylenol suppositories by her doctor after the age of 2 just as a back up after she had a fever related seizure. Her doctor told me to avoid using them unless I really had to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582670 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 16:20:30 +0000 mrswin 2582670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: Where I live I would call Telehealth and get a doctors opinion from them first.... Does your insurance have an on call line, maybe call a pharmacist and ask them?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tylenol-suppositories-infant#post-2582636 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 15:43:43 +0000 Mrs D 2582636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So...my 17w DD has herpangina...</p> <p>Her fever has broke but I can tell she is in pain still from the sore in her mouth. I have tried unsuccessfully to give her tylenol orally (spits it out)...</p> <p>My sister recommended the suppositories (I didnt know such a thing existed) - DH bought them but they say "for use in infants under 6 mos seek Dr counsel"...so my Dr office is closed. He gave me the dosage for tylenol for her weight...any reason I couldnt use them on her?</p> <p>The dosage he gave me was 3ml of 160mg per 5ml....so basically he is recommending 95-ish mg....the suppositories are 80mg so I was just going to do one.</p> <p>Anyone have an opinion here? </p>
