When children have cold and fever, the use of acetaminophen will give relief. Also, children with a headache or toothache can use this suppository. Before the Acetaminophen suppositories make sure the dosage is right. For this, you must check the child’s weight. Make sure the dose doesn't exceed 10-15 mg per kg body weight.
Dosage Depends on the Body Weight
If the child is 12-36 months, choose the suppository that reads 80 mg, and give one dose every 4-6 hours. If it is 6 months to one year old, use the 80 mg suppository once in 6 hours. If they are three to six years old, use the 120 mg suppository once in 4-6 hours. Never give two doses at once ever. In case you give the child an overdose of Acetaminophen suppositories, call the poison center at once at 1-800-22-1222. Abdominal pain, tiredness, and vomiting are the usual symptoms of an overdose. Also, there might be a swelling of the face.
Method of Using the Suppository
When one has pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or acute gout, one can use diclofenac. When the person cannot take oral medicines, one can use a Diclofenac suppository. We introduce the suppository in the rectum for the patient. He or she must lie down and insert the capsule in the back passage. Make sure you insert it at least one inch inside. If you wait for one minute, it will begin to dissolve and will get absorbed by the body.
Good Relief for Pain
The Diclofenac suppository is a non-steroidal medicine to control inflammation (NSAID). It helps relieve athletic injuries, toothache, and pain in the joints. It also works for backaches, sprains, and stiffness. One must be careful to avoid overdosing. If you notice nausea, vomiting, irritation of the rectum, or giddiness, it could be a sign of an overdose. If you see one of these signs, you must go see your doctor.
