Can you tell me how much Tylenol (160 msg per 5 ml) and Advil (100 mg/ 5 ml) I can give him?

Question

Hello, my daughter is 17 months old, she weighs 24 pounds, I can't find any more Tylenol or Advil for her age. So I bought the ones for children (2 to 11 years old). My daughter is 17 months old and weighs 24 pounds. I couldn't find any more Tylenol or Advil for her age. So I bought the products for children (2-11 years old). Thank you very much. Is it possible to give me the number of milliliters also for my 3 year old boy (15.8kg, 35 pounds)? I think I am giving him the wrong dosage.

Hello Mrs. For the 10.9 kg weight, the dose of Tylenol 160mg /5ml is 5 ml every 4 to 6 hours as needed for a maximum of 5 times per 24 hours period. Shake well before administration. The dose of Advil 100mg/5ml is 5 ml every 6 to 8 hours as needed, up to a maximum of 4 times in a 24 hour period. Shake well and ideally give with food. I would like to mention that it is not recommended to alternate or combine these 2 medications for fever, one should be enough. I hope I've been helpful and I'm available if you have any other questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist For 15,8 kg, the dose of Tylenol 160mg/5ml is 7 ml every 4 to 6 hours, max 5 times per 24 hours (shake well before!) For Advil 100mg/5ml, the dose is also 7ml, but every 6 to 8 hours, max 4 times a day, ideally with food.
