A member asked:

Is it safe to give my 7 month old children's tylenol (acetaminophen) for his stuffy nose and cold symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mark Diamond answered

Probably: Maybe, but tylenol (acetaminophen) treats pain and fever elevation only. Not congestion. So it may not help these symptoms at all.

Dr Namey and 3 doctors agreed
