Know the child's wt: If you know the child's weight in pounds: 7mg/lb. If you know the weight in kilos, 15mg/kg. May be dosed every 4-6 hours as needed. For an infant keep it to 6 hours.

Depends on the age: There is a wide range of dosages for children under 2 years old. It can be calculated by exact age or child's weight.

5ml of suspension: Tylenol (generic: acetaminophen) packaging provides a safe place to start: 2-3 year olds can take 5ml (160mg) every 4 hours for pain or fever. Be sure that you are not using the concentrated infant drops which could lead to an overdose. Proper hydration can also help with fever but you can also try Ibuprofen or contact your doctor for more accurate dosing. Never use Aspirin to treat a child.
