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.
Age limit: Don't use acetaminophen under 12 weeks of age, because fever during the first 12 weeks of life needs to be documented in a medical setting. If a fever is present, your baby needs a complete evaluation. Exception: Fever from an immunization in a child 8 weeks of age or older.
