How many days in a row is too many for Tylenol? I feel like my LO shows signs of teething every day now... through the day I distract him and give him lots of cold things to chew but at night it's not soo easy and hes chomping his hands and crying some nights instead of settling. How long does teething typically last and how many nights can I give him tylenol before bed in a row without maybe thinking he doesn't need it?
Re: Tylenol/Teething ?
Lurking...
DD teethed for about a week for her bottom two. She is fine now. I only gave her Tylenol when she was really cranky, but it was about twice a day. Maybe how long you can use it is a good question for a pedi or pharmacist, I might ask at our 6 month appt.
I'm asking at our appointment next week too. Sam had the tooth bumps for almost a week and when they finally broke through, I breathed a sigh of relief...and then for some reason he got SO cranky, had runny nose, ate a lot less, etc. I thought the symptoms were supposed to go away once the teeth broke, but for him the 3 days following break through were the worst. We used Tylenol during the night for those 3 nights and he's slept pretty well, thank goodness. The worst has been the runny nose and hacking cough from "choking" on his own drool. So fun!
