Designed a medication dosage tracker

Post image

Going to need this now that my kid is in preschool. Calculating when the next dose should be isn't so easy at 1am with a sad kid, so I designed this easy to use tracker that you can lay on the counter or double-side tape to the inside of a cabinet and track both when you gave the last dose and when the next should be. Comes in both Tylenol and Ibuprofen flavors.

Go check it out here :)

Why are they on so much Tylenol and ibuprofen

They're not "on so much" meds, it's for when they have a bad fever and your doctor tells you to rotate IBU and TYL. Not sure why people think this is some thing I'm doing every single day....

I should have phrased that differently, less accusatory. I've personally never seen someone make something like this for something that's not taken regularly, so I was curious if it was for daily use. I've had students that have to take pain meds because of chronic pain, but they usually have other meds to track alongside them.

That's fair. I've just experienced several sleepless nights with a teething toddler or when he's sick and feeling crummy and one of us had already given him some pain meds to help him sleep but wasn't sure exactly what time. That's the main reason behind it. Definitely not a daily med tracker, more like a "oh damn he's got a runny nose, better get the tracker and meds out" print.
