Next time you have to get your kids medicine, take a minute to check the label and prices. I was at Meijer getting more acetaminophen for my 10 month old, and I realized that the infant and children's concentration was the same: 160 mg acetaminophen per 5 ml. The price for the infant medicine was $3.49 for 1 ounce, and the children's was $3.99 for 4 ounces! So, I simply asked the pharmacist to figure out the dose for a 20 lb child.
