I first learned about FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Acetaminophen Suppositories about 11 years ago, when my oldest was a baby. He hated taking any liquid medicine and no matter how we tried to disguise it he always knew it was there and would refuse to take it or spit it out. I remember him having a fever when he was small and the nurse telling me to try the FeverAll Suppositories since I couldn’t get him to take any other fever meds. They were a total life saver and so easy to use in a stressful situation.
Fast forward to 2 days ago and our 15 month old woke up with a 103 fever. This is the first time he’s ever had a fever so I had no fever meds on hand, but thankfully FeverAll had just sent me some of their Infants’ Strength Acetaminophen Suppositories to try out and it couldn’t have been better timing. I read the package, determined his correct dose, and got to work putting the suppository in. Now I know what you might be thinking, “I have to stick that where? Ew!” The suppositories go in rectally and trust me, it’s really easy to do and our little guy didn’t even flinch. I took it out of the wrapper, pushed it in, made sure it stayed, and put his diaper back on and we went about our day. In addition to FeverAll suppositories when one of our kids has fever we also do cool baths and compresses, lots of fluids, and lots of rest.
About FeverAll Infants’ Strength Acetaminophen Suppositories:
FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Suppositories (80 mg of acetaminophen) are the only acetaminophen product available with dosage instructions for children as young as six months of age. For more than 30 years, caregivers have relied on the accuracy and convenience of FeverAll®. With FeverAll® Suppositories, caregivers can be assured that children will receive the accurate dose of acetaminophen labeled on the package vs. needing to measure liquid oral acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is one of the most recommended non-prescription medications by healthcare professionals – including pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners – for temporary fever reduction and relief of minor aches and pain in infants and children. FeverAll® is the only national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form and is available in three strengths for children from 6 months to 12 years of age.
Fever Facts provided by FeverAll:
- According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, fever in babies begins at 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, call your physician about any concerns with fever in your child.
- Using a digital rectal thermometer will provide the most accurate reading of a baby’s temperature.
- Be prepared! Make sure you have acetaminophen in both liquid and suppository forms on-hand. In the event your child is unable or unwilling to swallow oral medication (tight lipped, vomiting), an acetaminophen suppository is a safe alternative to the liquid form and always provides an accurate dose with no mess.
- Just because your child feels warm doesn’t mean they have a fever. Caregivers can overdress babies, even in colder weather, which can actually make them hot and fussy. Always confirm with a rectal temperature reading before administering any fever-reducing medication.
- When dealing with fever, how your child looks is as important as the child’s temperature.
- Fever isn’t something to fear. It simply means the body is doing its natural job of fighting off an infection.
