this is awesome info! I have this fear of giving my sick children tylenol....I really do feel it prolongs the sickness and is fighting against instead of with their little immune systems....this does mean, however, that I have to stay close by and try to actively comfort them more than if they were on meds the whole time..I have some friends who go through bottle after bottle of tylenol when it is cold and flu season....YIKES! Their kids go to church and school sick because after all they can keep going if the tylenol is administered every four hours. this has got to be unhealthy. Sorry, I don't mean to roast people, its just that I am the one considered weird because I will let my child run a fever and stay in bed and be a little more uncomfortable. But, I think it is time this info got out and that doctors start being honest with parents instead of afraid of them.
