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.
If you give medicine to your baby, follow your doctor's or a pharmacist's advice about what amount to give. Do not use acetaminophen if your child is allergic to it. Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist before you give medicine to reduce a fever in a baby who is 3 months of age or younger. This is to make sure a young baby's fever is not a sign of a serious illness. Sometimes a fever occurs after an immunization.
