Tethered Cord (TC) is a disorder in which the spinal cord is âstuckâ to a structure within the spine such as dura, scar tissue from a previous operation, a bony spicule or even a tumor.ethered Cord Syndrome can be difficult to diagnose in babies and children since the symptoms may be subtle and insidious over time.
Give your child acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). If your child is age 6 months or older, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) is OK, too. Read the label carefully for proper dosage. Don't give aspirin to an infant or toddler.
Adults and children 12 years and over should take 2 tablets, caplets, gelcaps or tablespoons every 4 to 6 hours as needed -- with no more than 8 tablets, caplets, gelcaps or tablespoons in 24 hours. Extra strength Tylenol should not be taken for more than 10 days unless directed by a doctor. It must be emphasized -- you should take no more than 8 extra strength Tylenol per day. The maximum allowable daily dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) is 4 grams (or 4,000 mg) in adults and 90 mg/kg in children. Do the math -- 8 times 500 mg equals 4,000 mg -- the daily maximum you can safely take.
