how often to give infant tylenol

Infant Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be given every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain or fever relief. However, it is important to not exceed more than 5 doses in a 24-hour period. For infants younger than 2 years, especially under 12 months, it’s recommended to consult a pediatrician for the appropriate dosage based on the infant’s weight. Also, Tylenol should not be given routinely for more than a day or two in a row unless directed by a doctor. Always use the dosing device that comes with the product to ensure the correct amount is given.
