The maximum amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol, Motrin) that can be taken a day is 4000mg. The maximum one dose (every 4 to 6 hours) is 1500mg. Whether you make a combination of oral and anal doesn't matter as long as you do not cross those limits.

Does codine lower a fever?
It can if it's truly Vicodin. Hydrocodone (generic Vicodin) has a mixture of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) in it. Depending on the strength, (5/325 - means it has 5 mg Hydrocodone and 325 mg Tylenol) within it. Dosage of 5/500 means that it has 500 mg of Tylenol within it, and so on... Some other names of similar drugs to Vicodin (Norco) does NOT contain Tylenol. Norco is only the Hydrocodone (pain reliever portion) and would not reduce a fever. Lortab however, does contain the Hydrocodone AND the Tylenol.

However, a fever of 103 or higher in adults should be lowered quickly and if it is persistent for several days you should see a doctor.
