it is always a good idea to speak with your pharmacist before giving your child an over-the-counter medication like tylenol. the proper dose for a child of that height and weight would be 10 ml or 2 teaspoonfuls of the children’s tylenol liquid which would provide 320 mg of acetaminophen. if you do not want to use liquid you can give a 6-year-old two junior strength tylenol meltaways which would be the same dose.
how much tylenol can i give a 6-year-old weighing 45-50 pounds?
