A member asked:
Is tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 good for breaking a fever for a 21 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't need codeine: Tylenol (acetaminophen) iii contains codeine. I wouldn't use such a big gun unless there was a good indication. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is an antipyretic and relieves pain - it would be a better choice. An NSAID could also help.
