What is the dose of codeine for a 4-year old child that is comparable to the adult dose of 30mg?
The pediatric dose of codeine is typically based on the child's weight. For children, the usual dose is about 0.5 to 1 mg/kg every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 60 mg per day. For a 4-year-old child weighing approximately 16 kg (35 lbs), a comparable dose to an adult 30 mg might be around 8 to 16 mg, depending on individual circumstances and physician recommendations. However, codeine use in children is often cautioned against due to safety concerns, so it is crucial to consult a healthcare provider before administration.

Will acetaminophen-codeine help a cough and cold for a child?
Adult formulations have more Tylenol(acetaminophen) in them than childrens' codeine/APAP syrups and could be lethal to a child. It is not worth the risk. Codeine is a cough suppressant, but, again, it is dangerous to give children adult medications. It is illegal to give anyone prescription medication if it is not prescribed for that person. For colds, nutritional support and increased fluids are helpful and for coughing, there are OTC cough medications or "steaming in the shower/bathroom" alternatives...until you can get pediatric medication.

The fulcrum should be moved closer to the child in order for the child to lift the adult. Placing the fulcrum closer to the lighter weight (child) increases the mechanical advantage, allowing the child to exert a greater force and lift the heavier weight (adult).
