Should I give Tylenol to my 2 and a half year old boy who has complained of an earache, or should I go see a doctor right away?

If your 2 and a half year old child is complaining of ear pain, it is generally safe to give them acetaminophen according to their weight and age. You can give a dose every 4-6 hours for a maximum of 48 hours. However, if there is no improvement in their condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention. It is important to monitor for any additional symptoms that may be present in conjunction with the ear pain.
