‘If it’s related to Tylenol, be careful of what it can do to your liver.’

Tylenol should be taken off the market—especially for kids. It is a VERY dangerous med and can destroy your liver.

Tylenol is a very effective pain-killing (analgesic) and fever-reducing (anti-pyretic) agent. It is also a very safe drug as long as the recommended dosage is not exceeded. In fact, the use of Tylenol instead of aspirin to treat fevers in infants has greatly reduced the occurrence of Reye’s syndrome, an often fatal form of liver failure. Ironically, however, taking too much Tylenol (an overdose) can also cause liver failure, although by a different process (mechanism), as discussed below.

Parents use it mostly for treating fevers, but it may be counter productive.
