I didn’t know that about adjusting the children’s Tylenol—thank you for sharing! I’m not sure how to do that properly, so I’m planning to ask his doctor tomorrow about dosing for both children’s Tylenol and Motrin in liquid form. I actually ordered liquid Tylenol, but it turned out to have alcohol in it, so that was a bust—I need to return it.
Thanks for the tip about Gatorade too! Staying hydrated has been such a challenge. I really appreciate you sharing what’s helped your dad. Wishing him (and you!) strength as he recovers!

I feel for you. It is definitely an awful experience and I’m sending you and your husband positive thoughts and prayers.
Yes, his provider should be able to tell you how many ml of Tylenol and Motrin to give. It all depends on his weight, gastric history and other meds he’s taking as well.
Good luck to you both!

Does your husband or Dad have hydration therapy? My husband gets it 3 consecutive days after chemo. Chemo is Thursdays thank goodness... he has the weekend to recuperate. A nurse comes to our home and administers it. My husband likes ice water but I think the cold causes the extreme coughing as well? Not sure though....
Take care all!
