Featuring 160 milligrams of baby acetaminophen, this cold and flu medicine for infants temporarily reduces fevers and eases body aches, headache, and sore throat that may be associated with common colds, flu, and viruses.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a healthy baby’s normal body temperature falls between 97°F and 100.4°F (36°C and 38°C). So a temperature of 100.4°F or higher is a fever. If your baby is younger than two months old and has any fever, call a doctor right away. If your baby is two months or older and has a fever over 100.4°F, you may use over-the-counter acetaminophen at the appropriate dosage for your baby’s weight. Consult a doctor for recommended dosage if they are younger than two years old. If the fever persists more than 24–48 hours, call a doctor.

If your baby seems fine after their vaccination then there is no need to administer acetaminophen. If they seem to be in discomfort or if they run a fever over 100.4˚F, you may use acetaminophen at the appropriate dosage for their weight. If your baby is less than eight weeks old and has a fever, call a pediatrician before giving them acetaminophen. If your baby is going to have a fever or be in pain, it will likely be in the first 24–36 hours postvaccinations.

Acetaminophen Safety Tips

Use the following tips to keep your child safe and avoid overdosing:

Read the label. Infants' and children's acetaminophen are now the same concentration (160 mg/5 ml), but you should always read the label and dose accordingly. If you have any questions, please contact your doctor.

Time it right. Give acetaminophen every four to six hours as needed. Don't exceed five doses in 24 hours.

Follow age restrictions. Don't give acetaminophen to babies under 3 months without calling your doctor first. You should also consider calling your doctor when giving acetaminophen to anyone under 2 years old.

Is Acetaminophen Safe While Pregnant?

Know how to measure. Always use the measuring device (dropper or measuring cup) that comes with the medication or you could risk overdosing. Never use droppers from different medications or spoons from the kitchen.

Don’t mix medicines. Parents will find acetaminophen in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Don’t mix medications with acetaminophen to prevent an overdose.

Call the doctor for emergencies. Always call the pediatrician in the following instances.

• Your baby is under 3 months with a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Since newborns don’t have proper immune systems, they’re more susceptible to life-threatening infections like bacterial meningitis and pneumonia.
• Your baby is 3 to 6 months with a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
• Your baby is older than 6 months with a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
• Your child seems fussy, lethargic, dehydrated, or has any other symptoms that concern you.
