Can Tylenol Be Given To An Infant For Cold Sweats And Crying Due To Teething?
my 7 month old grandson is waking up during the night tonight, crying and has cold sweats. We think he is teething and a tooth is about to errupt. We have given him age appropriate tylenol but what else should we do for him? Should we take him to the ER as it is after hours for the doctor.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Tylenol 15 mg/kg/dose 6th hourly will reduce pain as well as fever.
Once the tooth erupts the pain will subside .
There is no urgency to rush to ER.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
