What are the safety guidelines for administering acetaminophen to infants, including appropriate dosing, potential side effects and signs of overdose?
Administer acetaminophen to infants based on weight, not age. Typical dose is 10-15 mg/kg every 4-6 hours. Watch for lethargy or abdominal pain as signs of overdose.
