Yes, if your son weighs 180 pounds, you can give him an adult Tylenol tablet of 500mg. The recommended dosage for his weight would actually be higher than that for an adult. You can give him 1 or 2 tablets every 6 hours if needed for pain or fever. If he has trouble swallowing tablets, you can give it to him in liquid form or mix/crush the tablets in food or drinks like pudding, yogurt, or juice. If his fever does not go away within 48 to 72 hours or if his condition worsens, it is important to consult a doctor. I hope your son feels better soon.
