Hydrocodone Apap Liquid For Infants (Top voted first)
UpdatedMy son is 11 months old and had surgery and was prescribed hydro/APAP for his pain. It is 7.5/325 in 15ml. The pharmacy calls it Tylenol 4. I'm just wondering if this is really safe to use on an 11 month old.

My son had posterior medial releases on both feet(tendon release for clubfoot ) and also tissue removed from the bottom of his feet because of his extremely high arches which contributed to his clubfoot. The surgeon is the one who prescribed the hydrocodone. He is supposed to take 3ml every four hours if needed and it is the 7.5/325 in a 15ml bottle
Tylenol 4 is 60 mg Codeine and 325 mg Acetaminophen. It sounds like the prescription is for hydrocodone 7.5 mg/Acetaminophen 325 mg. There is Hydrocodone 7.5 mg/Acetaminophen in Each 5 ml.
I don't know what type of surgery but that's too much for an 11 month old,I would try plain tylenol,if it doesn't help,I would half the dosage on the hydrocodone.
Rose, 3 ml sounds more appropiate. Hope he heals and recoveries quickly.
Thank you. I really appreciate it
