Read the label and know what's in the medicine. Check the active ingredients listed on the label and make sure you don’t give your child more than one medicine with the same active ingredient.
Follow the dosing directions on the medicine label. Even if you have used the medicine before, sometimes the directions about how much medicine to give change.
Use the dosing device that comes with the medicine. A teaspoon or tablespoon used for cooking won't measure the same amount as the dosing device.
Write clear instructions for caregivers about your child’s medicine. When other caregivers are giving your child medicine, they need to know what medicine to give, how much to give and when to give it.

Neck Pain
Neck pain, sometimes called cervicalgia, is pain in or around your spine beneath your head. Your neck is also known as your cervical spine. Neck pain is a common symptom of many different injuries and medical conditions.

You might have axial neck pain (felt mostly in your neck) or radicular neck pain (pain that shoots into other areas, such as your shoulders or arms). It can be acute (lasting from days to six weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than three months). Neck pain can interfere with your daily activities and reduce your quality of life if it’s not treated.

Which Medicines Help With Low Back Pain?
Acetaminophen tends to be gentler on the stomach than other meds. But while it can be helpful in relieving toothaches, headaches, and pain after surgery, there's not a lot of evidence to indicate it works as well for back pain. Still, each case is unique. So just because it hasn't been found to be the most effective remedy in clinical trials doesn't mean it won't help you.

In comparison, kidney pain is typically located higher on your back and it often feels deeper. Most of the time, kidney pain symptoms occur under your ribs, to the right or left of your spine. Kidney pain may also radiate to other areas, such as your abdomen or groin. Sometimes, hip pain is confused with kidney pain, but hip pain is lower down in your back than kidney pain.
