(HealthDay News) - Giving your child medications, even over-the-counter medicines, should always be carefully monitored by your doctor.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions before you give any pain medication to your child:

* Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) is a generally safe painkiller for young children.
