What kind and quantity of Tylenol should I use for my 18-month-old son who weighs 28 pounds?

For a child weighing 28lbs, you can use Tylenol™ at a dose of 15mg per kilogram of body weight. As the child weighs approximately 12kg, you can give them the appropriate dosage either in liquid syrup for children or infant drops. The drops are more concentrated, so you may need to give less liquid to achieve the same dose, which can be easier when giving medication to a child.
