Dramatic warning for parents: Do not 'halve' adult painkillers for kids in wake of medicine shortages
Fox News
Children's Tylenol has been hard to find in some parts of the U.S., leading to questions by some parents about whether they can give their kids portions of an adult dose. Experts weigh in.
"I remember giving my kids a ‘guestimate’ dose of adult Tylenol, which I now regret doing," one nurse and mom in New England told Fox News Digital this week. The company cites "high consumer demand driven by an extremely challenging cold and flu season" as the reason some products may be harder to find. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"I think all parents, if they're honest, have at least considered doing something similar, when faced with a child who has a fever that's climbing," this same person said.
