Infant Tylenol Dosage Question

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
FTM here...when giving infant Tylenol do you go by the weight or the age of the child? DS has been teething pretty bad (fever, fussy, gnawing like crazy) and I have been giving 2.5 mL. This is the dose for babies 12-17 pounds, 4-11 mos. DS is almost 19 pounds. For 3.75 mL, it's 18-23 lbs, 12-23 months. How does this all work?? The 2.5 mL seems to work alright but doesn't seem to relieve symptoms for the instructed 4 hours.

    I believe you go by their weight.

    I'm a nurse in a pediatric ER, you go by the weight not age.

    Sorry, I didn't finish. My DS is a little over 20 lbs and he gets 3.75 ml. I lasts the four hours and he's never needed more right after.

    I go by weight. My son is between 19 and 20lbs and I've been giving him 3.5mL since his 6 month appointment (he was 18.5lbs) the doctor actually said to give him more but the pharmacist disagreed so I went with the lower to be safe.

    It's by weight: 15 mg/kg. 19 lbs is 8.6 kg, so 3.75 mL (120 mg) should be perfect.
