Does An Infant Sleep For Long Hours After Taking Tylenol For Fever?
my 6 month old has had a bit of a fever all day - up to 100.9. I have her 1/2 dropper of baby tylenol this morning and just gave her another 1/2 dropper, but she has been sleeping most of the day. She has had about 18 ounces of milk though. Should I call the pediatrician? Not sure what is wrong with her.

Does An Infant Sleep For Long Hours After Taking Tylenol For Fever?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Variation of temperature is very common in neonates. For such condition, nothing needs to be given. Long sleep hours are obvious in this condition. If he is taking feeds, passing urine and motion regularly, then he is not irritable and is fine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ratna Mulay
