Warning. Acetominophen
Parenting. It’s all about learning new things.
And stress. Lots of stress.
Luckily, a 20 month old can take nearly 10 times her recommended dose of acetominophen (tylenol) before it would cause liver failure.
At most, Alex had 3 times her dosage (in yummy grape pills that were her sister’s). So she’s fine.
This however, will not stop me from doing my obligatory parental worrying for a few days or more.
But in children over 5 and adults it doesn’t take too much over the recommended dosage for acetopminophen to be toxic to the liver.
Not that we ever take alot of pills in our household.
But we will be taking less.
