I have taken Darvocet for pain when it is bad, and used the Tylenol for mild to moderate pain days. Unfortunately I am finding when I take the Tylenol I tend to have bladder irritations crop up the next day. Aspirin helps but irritates my Hiatal Hernia. So I try to avoid pain meds unless I really need it. I guess we all need to make decisions on what we want to live with, the pain or the side effects.

What does a parent use for a 4 year old with a fever? Also, her doctor recommends a dose of Tylenol before having vaccinations. What is a substitute?
