3rd old fever not going down after 50 min of tylenol (acetaminophen). how long usually take for med to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be OK: 50 minutes is sufficient time for tylenol (acetaminophen) to begin to reduce a child's fever if it is going to do so. The question is whether this is really necessary? Is the baby uncomfortable from the fever itself, or is it you who feels uncomfortable having a child with fever. Fever, if tolerable, may be beneficial in the management of infection by our immune system.
