It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and fever. The medication is taken as a liquid, with doses given every 4 hours as needed, but not more than 5 times in a 24-hour period. The starting dose depends on your child's weight or age, ranging from 5 mL for children aged 2-3 years to 15 mL for 11-year-olds. It's important to know that this medication contains acetaminophen, which can cause severe liver damage if your child takes more than the recommended amount or uses it with other medications containing acetaminophen, so always check with a doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.
