I saw that there are crunchable tablets160mg. My baby has to take 120mg. Can I offer him 3/4?

Hello. my 14 month old baby has a fever, since one day, well controlled with tylenol. my problem is that she doesn't accept liquid Tylenol, it's really difficult, she manages to spit it out, and what works best is in juice but she refuses to drink it all. In short, it's very difficult, especially at night.

if not, do you have any other advice on how to give him Tylenol?
i have seen that there are Acet 120mg suppositories, but they are just not available.

Hello ma'am, in order to better advise you, I need its weight.

Thanks for the feedback. She can indeed receive 120mg of Tylenol, or 3/4 of a 160mg tablet, every 4 to 6 hours if needed for a maximum of 5 times in a 24 hour period. The tablet can be completely crushed and put in a small amount of liquid, compote or food just before administration.
As for the suppositories, you will unfortunately have to inquire about their availability at nearby pharmacies.
I will remain available if you have any further questions!
