Acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used pain and fever relievers for infants and children and is safe and effective when used as directed. Now, dosing has been made even easier for parents and safer for children as the new PediCare single-concentrations acetaminophen products hit store shelves. But what does this mean for parents?
PediaCare now offer additional product enhancements, including age-appropriate dosing devices. Infant products will now contain a special dosing syringe and flow restrictors on the bottles; children's products, for ages 2 to 11 years, will have the bottles with flow restrictors, and continue to contain dosing cups. Both infant and children's formulations will continue to have weight-based instructions on the package, as well.
PediaCare has been one of my favorite pain and fever reducer mediciation for my children. It works quickly and effectively.
I could not have received this at a more perfect time.
My youngest daughter, Amberly, has been suffering for frequent ear infections. These infections cause her a lot of pain and spikes a fever.
She experienced another ear infection this past Friday and was in severe pain. I took her to her physician and was given antibotics and ear drops and was told to give her something with acetaminophen in it.
I immediately thought of PediaCare.
It only took 10 minutes for it to help with the pain. I noticed a difference in her behavior once it started working. She was able to sit and play and stop screaming and crying.
A few hours later, I noticed that her eyes were turning red and glazed over.
She had developed a fever of 101.1.
I gave her another dose of PediaCare and within 15 minutes the fever started to go down.
Now after this dose, she did get sleepy and fall asleep on our recliner but it did help with the pain and fever.
