I hope this is a joke. The FDA and Canadian Food and Drug individuals have just recalled most child flue and cold (that is Tylenol and so on) meds. Do not give your youngster any meds that are not prescribed by your medical doctor.

First, you shouldn’t give your infant Aspirin.
I would give tylenol. How do you knowshe has a headache? Has he seen a doctor? Isshe drinking plenty of fluids?
I would give tylenol, motrin or advil, always does by weight, age isn’t always accurate.
But, if you haven’t yet, have him seen by a doctor!
