How do you call a nurse on Sunday?

My baby has a temp and I need to know what dosage of Tylenol / Motrin is appropriate.

UNDER 2 YEARS: CONSULT A DOCTOR...Why do you have to be so rude?

Obviously, you NEED to get the right dosage from a doctor or nurse based on age, weight, etc. You can't just read the box. Call your doctor's office, if nobody is there, try a nurse help line from your local hospital. OR a pharmacist might be able to help.

Telephone?

Call up your local pharmacist. Or you can always contact the pediatrics ward at the hospital. They will have a nurse or a doctor there that can advise you.

Read the bottle.
Or call a pharmacist.

you don't necessarily need a nurse.
call the doctor's office?

Dont panic - read the side of the bottle

you can always try a ready-med or an after hours clinic.(after hours is half as expensive.

Call your doc while prob isnt open and youll get an answering machine and one of the options will b to talk to either a doctor on call or nurse. That should be what you want.

Is there an urgent care facility in your community? They are open on weekends. You might also try calling your pediatrician's office and leaving a message with the service. They will often call you back.

Call the ER and ask to speak with a nurse. Thats what I do any ways
Hope your baby feels better soon.

you can always call the emergency room 24/7 and ask to speak to a nurse. also some insurance providers offer free call services to nurses on duty 24/7

Call the pharmacy- that is your best option.

To the nurse that said "read the box"- the dosage for babies under 20 lbs is often not listed. there is no need to put someone down. I'm a nurse as well, but not a pediatric one, and I always call to find the correct dosage!

if you call the local hospital they should have a nurseline that will be more than happy to help you. :O)

If I call my pediatrician's office and leave a message, it goes to an answering service. I can ask the person who answers to page the doctor or nurse, and they call me back. If your pediatrician does not have that, get a new doctor.

I agree with 31 weeks....
Wow. I sure wouldn't want Jessica for a nurse!
Beeeea*****.
Hope your baby is feeling better soon!

if it is infant tylenol, it should have the dosage on the bottle of either one .8 dropperful, or 2 (for bigger babies). If it is childrens liquid tylenol, then I would just call a pharmacy, they have charts and go by the baby's weight. u could also probably google it. If you really want to talk to the babys dr., then just call the office, and they should have a # on the recording for u to get a hold of who's on call today. Hope baby's better soon!

Nice nurse Jessica :(


I have three kids and have gotten a dose from the pharmacist at the grocery store when I had childrens' tylenol for my older kids and my younger one was sick. Usually if they are half of the weight of the weight for the lowest dosage, you give them half of that amount. For example if it says 1 tsp for 20 to 40 lbs and your baby is say 17 lbs, I would give 1/2 tsp. That is probably not exact but if you don't have infant drops that dose for that weight is not going to hurt them.

here is a nice chart I use, but you need the child's weight

Also, you can always ask the pharmacist to help you too!
