If you are treating a child, use a pediatric form of acetaminophen. Use only the special dose-measuring dropper or oral syringe that comes with the specific pediatric form you are using. Carefully follow the dosing directions on the medicine label.
Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
Bromo Seltzer made for infants is available in two different dose concentrations, and each concentration comes with its own medicine dropper or oral syringe. Using the wrong device may cause you to give your child an overdose of acetaminophen. Never mix and match dosing devices between infant formulations of acetaminophen.
You may need to shake the liquid before each use. Follow the directions on the medicine label.
The chewable tablet must be chewed thoroughly before you swallow it.
Make sure your hands are dry when handling a disintegrating tablet. Place the tablet on your tongue and allow it to dissolve, without chewing. Do not swallow the tablet whole. Allow it to dissolve in your mouth without chewing.
To use the effervescent granules, dissolve one packet of the granules in at least 4 ounces of water. Stir and drink this mixture right away. Add a little more water to the glass, swirl gently and drink right away.
Stop taking Bromo Seltzer and call your doctor if:
-
you still have a fever after 3 days of use;
-
you still have pain after 7 days of use (or 5 days if treating a child);
-
you have a skin rash, ongoing headache, or any redness or swelling; or

if your symptoms get worse, or if you have any new symptoms.
