Can I give Tylenol for children aged 2 years and older if my 14-month-old son currently weighs 29 lbs?

Yes, you can give Tylenol for children aged 2 and older to a 14-month-old child who weighs 29 lbs. It is important to follow the recommended dosage for children, which is around 10 mg of Tylenol per kg of the infant's weight. In this case, the dose would be about 130mg. You can give this dose every 6 hours if needed. Make sure to check the concentration of the product you are using, as there are different options like oral drops or syrup with different concentrations. It is often preferred to use oral drops for children due to the smaller volume needed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
