A member asked:

We have run out of childrens tylenol but have regular strength, can i give my 9yr old 77.8lbs son a half to help him with pain in leg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would give a kid that size (35 kg) a regular 325 mg Tylenol up to every 6 hours if needed. A cool compress applied to the site would also help.
