My 9 month old son is teething horribly but due to his HFI he cannot have infant or childrens tylenol as it is made with HFCS or contains fructose. Does anyone have any suggestions? If a regular adult strength tylenol contains 325 mg/pill and infant elixir contains 80 mg/0.8 ml, is it possible to cut the adult pill in 1/4ths and take the granules to give him through a syringe. That way he would be getting the medication but without fructose? His pediatrician said it should work, but im hesitant. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, any ideas on antibiotics as most of them are made with sugar based flavoring.

" We used aloe vera on our boys when they were teething. Tylenol can be dangerous. "
