Hello doctor,
I accidentally gave Tylenol 1 mg intravenously to my newly born baby who was suffering from fever. I am afraid that it could cause a gastric ulcer in the baby.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
One such dose should not be a problem. Always remember, an antidote to Paracetamol poisoning is N-acetylcysteine. Also, any such kind of instance should be reported to the doctor immediately.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.

Hello doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
I am still tensed. Can I be calm about it?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
A low dose would not resolve the fever. It is better to consult a doctor.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.

Hello doctor,
Thanks for replying.
We gave Tylenol due to COVID-19 fever. After 36 hours, the baby was completely fine.
Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Such a low dose would not cause any significant problem in this particular case. Do not worry so much.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards.
