A member asked:

Is it safe to give an 8 month old baby infant tylenol (acetaminophen) every day during teething to help with teething pain & discomfort? baby's weight is 18 lbs.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prob not necessary: Usually the parents have more discomfort than baby. Fewer drugs are better than more drugs. Cold teething rings are safe to use without relying on Tylenol (acetaminophen)
