Tylenol

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The only over the counter medication I have ever needed for my child at that age is Paracetamol (Tylenol) suppositories
- Tylenol also helps with the initial soreness at the injection site, so we gave it regardless of fever and it helped a lot. Also, infant Tylenol is 100% safe when given correctly, so it’s not necessary to give sparingly if it’s helping yo...
- You can give Tylenol (if peds is ok with it) once he seems grouchy, it takes like, 10 minutes to kick in. The liquid suspension works pretty quickly.
- We gave him Tylenol once and he immediately started to feel better.
- Well - at 2 months they can have Tylenol which does work wonders at reducing fever.
Cons
- Analogous to buying generic acetaminophen over Tylenol
- Medication can help with the symptoms of a shit marriage, but without addressing the actual issues, it's just a bandaid. Think taking Tylenol for headaches instead of treating the brain tumor causing them.
- I did the rounds of Tylenol and Motrin throughout the day but it didn’t really help, save for breaking my fever.
- Have you ever felt drugged after taking Tylenol? It’s not exactly a strong painkiller!
- I had to have a molar extracted at 37 weeks due to an abscess and it was BRUTAL to do on just local anesthesia and Tylenol for recovery

Parent context: I know I know! It’s more the way some of my family talked about it “oh give her Tylenol that’ll knock her out!” That I just got a little… idk nervous about it? The insinuation that I’d be trying to knock her out or drug her to sleep made me feel uncomfortable. That being said, she got some Tylenol this morning and has been napping much longer stretches today! Reply: Mine often napped longer while teething too, she might need a little extra rest.
