Running nose: Tylenol (acetaminophen) will have no effect on her running nose. Instead use salt water nose drops four times a day. A vaporizer and elevation of your child's mattress whilee sleeping can also help

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is for fever: tylenol (acetaminophen) or acethaminophen is an analgesic and an antipyretic . It helps to reduce fever, aches and pain, but it has no benefit for runny nose. There are OTC preparations for childrens runny nose , consult your pediatrician if indicated for your child

3.5 ml: Tylenol or acetaminophen now comes only in one strength for its liquid preperations i.e 160mg/5ml to avoid potential over dosage due to more concentrated Tylenol infants drops until recent past. The dose charts are generally included on packages for older children but a rough guidefor safe dosing is ~10 mg/kg per dose. given on bottles
