Is it safe to give Tylenol to a newborn baby who is having fever?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

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,

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.
