A member asked:

My 2 1/2 year old has a 38.8 c fever, how many suppositories should i use? adol 250 mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acetaminophen dose: The general recommended dose of acetaminophen is 15 mg/kg every four hours. Products with narcotics such as hydrocodone should never be used in children unless specifically recommended by their doctor for pain management (not fever).
