Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The best way to anticipate success of an antibiotic is to have a culture of the germ where sensitivity is tested. Without that, you rely on clinical change. The germ in these infections has had a head start creating the problem. I would expect a decline in fever within 24/36 hrs after starting the med as a good sign it will work. I would not expect it to change the symptoms in 4 hours.

Question 2

how long does tylenol stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

The range is from: 10-20 hours, however, the effect of Tylenol on pain or fever is only 4-6 hours.  Dr. Anne

Question 3

can i give grandson  half the dose of childrens tylenol ?

Accepted Answer

Using this site: You get the most from this site when you provide detailed information about a health issue followed by a clear related question. Why half a dose? There is a proper dose of Tylenol for size/age which is determined by weight, which you did not provide. You are welcome to start over with more info to include at least the kids weight. Posts are not linked so each must contain all needed data.

Question 4

how dangerous would it be to use tylenol 650mg for times a day?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: the toxic dose of tylenol occurs at 4 gr/day or 4000 mg daily. 650 mg X 4 =2600 mg / day which is not a toxic dose

Question 5

i took 2 extra strength tylenol 1hr 45mins ago and still feeling pain...what are my options?

Accepted Answer

If you are able: to take an NSAID such as ibuprofen or naproxen, those would be other options for pain control which are available over the counter. Hope this helps!

Question 6

i've never taken tylenol. is it pretty safe. what is the likely good of me being allergic? ty

Accepted Answer

It's probably rare: Doctors don't have a crystal ball to look into the future, which means a doctor cannot predict whether or not a person will have some rare reaction. That's the way life is. However, in 25 years of practice, I have yet to meet a patient who is allergic to plain Tylenol containing only acetaminophen.

Question 7

is it ok to break tylenol 500 mg in two pieces to reduce its strength to approximately 250 mg each?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Acetaminophen comes also in a liquid form that might be easier to dose and swallow.

Question 8

hi i just realized i took 2 tylenols at 8:30ishpm and took another pill 11:25pm. should i be worried??

Accepted Answer

No: I think you can handle the three Tylenol and shouldn't have any adverse effects. Abstain from alcohol and don't exceed 8 tablets of regular strength and 6 tablets of extrastrength in a 24 hour period.

Question 9

i took 2 500 mg tylenol not thinking about if i had taken 2 when i went to bed. now i'm afraid i've taken 4 500 mg within an hour and a half of each?

Accepted Answer

Rush to ER: Overdose of tylenol may cause permanent damage to your liver and even death . Although the toxic dose varies from person to person, you need immediate medical attention since the damages may not occur until hours after the ingestion.

Question 10

i reached 4,000mg of tyenol on sunday. i slept for 7 hours. then i took 2 (500mg each) tylenol on monday morning. i'm fine but scared. i read online.

Accepted Answer

Maximum dose: daily= 4,000 mg/24hrs.
