Liquid Tylenol/over The Counter Pain Reliever



Recommended Posts

I've got a question that i wanted to ask before I forgot. My surgery is next thurs (the 26th) and I know that I'll be nervous/anxious and will forget to ask the dr. I know that I can turn to y'all and get the answer.

I have read that after surgery I should have liquid tylenol--great--I a 3 year old so we have plenty of that. My questions are:

How about liquid Ibuprofen--is that ok?

What is the doseage for an adult? I looked on the package and it only went up to a 94 pound child. I am far from 94 pounds--yet I don't want to not take enought?

Thanks everyone. As it gets closer I may have a few more of these questions that I want to ask before I forget. :)

I use children's liquid advil all the time. I believe its 100mgs per teaspoon. So for an adult 400mgs is like 2 regular Advil. So...4tsps.

I've been using liquid ibprofen (generic) 6tsp in between liquid hyrdocodone.

I think the purpose of the ibprofen is to reduce swelling.

lol I take 600mgs so sometimes it feels like a whole bottle. I KNOW someone is gonna post that you should never take Advil because its an NSAID and not good for you but use your own judgement. Advil in moderation and at the appropriate dosage is no worse for you than Tylenol.

My doctor didn't have a problem with Advil. Tylenol doesn't do anything for my typically so I don't use it ever.

They make liquid tylenol for adults...it does not taste that bad and you do not have to take what seems like a whole bottle of the children's stuff. Good luck to you next week!!!

My dr does not allow any NSAIDS (ibuprofen, naproxen) ever- they are associated with ulcers, and band failure. I have been getting the adult dosage liquid Tylenol at cvs.

Good luck!!

They pulled it from Wal-Mart but they still have it at CVS but its the generic brand. I can't tell the difference.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
