I have a 8 month old baby who has been sick with a fever. Pediatrician recommended Acetaminophen Infant 160mg/5ml Susp for lowering fever. The medicine seems to work, but unfortunately my pediatrician didn't give me much information. Online, I see some scary information regarding side effects. Should I be worried about any of these? Is this just a common medicine to give to kids? I don't want to be the worried parent asking too many questions but I also don't want to be in a panic if my child has any type of allergic reaction. I need advice from parents and experts.
