childrens tylenol packets

They are intended for children ages 2 to 11 years; product notes also list “2 years and up” as the suggested age.

The active ingredient is acetaminophen, and each chewable contains 160 mg of acetaminophen.

They temporarily reduce fever and relieve minor aches and pains, including headache, sore throat, and toothache, and can help with common cold and flu symptoms.

Doses may be repeated every 4 hours while symptoms last, and you should not give the medicine more than 5 times in 24 hours.

Dosing is guided by weight when possible; otherwise use age. The product includes a weight-to-tablet chart with specific tablet counts for each weight range.
