Give the right amount

If possible, use your child’s weight to dose instead of age. Always use the dosing device (oral syringe or dosing cup) that came in the box—never use a kitchen spoon.

Help medicine go down

TYLENOL® and MOTRIN® are available in a variety of kid-friendly flavors, but if your child still doesn’t like the taste, try following it with a tastier drink. You can also offer an ice pop to slightly numb the tongue before dosing. If your child is between 2-11 and dislikes liquid medicine, Children’s TYLENOL® offers a chewable option. Just remember to never refer to medicine as candy.

If your baby tends to spit out medicine, gently squeeze his or her cheeks together when dosing. Dye-free medicine options can be a good choice to help avoid stains on clothes.
