Question about Children's Tylenol + Flu dosing?


My 3 year old is currently miserable with the flu.. I picked her up some "Tylenol Plus Flu" for kids, but didn't read the right dosing in the store.
When I got home it said "Under 6 years-Ask a doctor" But, It also says, "48-95, ages 6-11 years-2 tps"
My daughter weighs about 45 pounds, would it hurt to give her half the dose of this?

When in doubt about children's medication, either call the doctors office or call the drug store and ask to speak to a pharmacist.
This is why they stopped putting infants and young children's cold medication over the counter so it would not be given to young children and overdosing them. Call to be sure of the dose before you over dose her.
Hope she feels better soon.

I agree with the other person..give a 24hr. phamacy a call and speak with the pharmacist. And it would be good to give her alot of clear fluids to keep her from getting dehydrated.
