Tylenol and Ibuprofen Dosing charts

Why are these tylenol and ibuprofen dosing charts so useful?  Because, dosing your children with the correct dose is important for many reasons.  First, you want to avoid under-medicating your child because giving them the wrong dose that is too low won’t actually do anthing.  Second, avoid potentially toxic and dangerous side-effects if you give them too much medication.  Make sure you are giving your child the correct dose every time.

If you ever worry that you have given your child too much medication, or they ingest something they shouldn’t have, you should either take them to the Emergency Room right away, call 911, or contact the poison control center.  You should have the Poison control number on hand at all times.
