Unfortunately it appears the perfect cup does not yet exist. Several of you however offered helpful leads. We are now thinking about developing a curriculum for parents in our pediatric clinic regarding the use of infant and children’s Tylenol (acetaminophen). We believe that incorrect dosing of this very common medication is a common problem among families. Our population consists mainly of recent immigrants who may have issues about reading and understanding the label and complicated dosing chart accompanying the medicine. Related to this is the issue of whether or not our parents are able to correctly diagnose fevers in their children. We hate to reinvent the wheel, so we would love to know if any of you have heard about programs or materials addressing these issues. If so, could you please direct us to where we could learn more about them. Thank you, Jill Linnell H.E.L.P.
