ACETAMINOPHEN (TYLENOL, FEVERALL, TEMPRA)
*Do not use acetaminophen under 12 weeks of age unless your pediatrician tells you to.
This is because fever in the first 12 weeks of life should be recorded in a health care setting. If there is a fever, your baby will need to be checked to see what tests are needed. (Note: Fever may happen after a vaccine
in a child 8 weeks of age or older. If this happens, please talk to your child’s doctor.)*
