Can Tylenol Be Taken For Fever?

my husband went to doctor today with bad cough & was told he had a virus--at the time he did not have a fever. He got prescription for Promethazine-codeine 6.25-10mg/5ml syp. He has been running a fever all night-latest was 102.5... is it ok to give him Tylenol for the fever? He s drinking lots of water & chicken soup, but I don t like the fever.

Hello,

Tylenol drug can be given every 8 hours for fever. Tylenol should be avoided, if he has previous history of allergy to the medication or liver dysfunction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
