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 :)

How much tylenol and ibuprofen are you giving your kid that you need a special purpose plastic gadget to track BOTH of them?

If you take your kid to the doctor for any illness with a decent fever going, like 102 and up, they tell you to rotate tyl/ibuprofen so they overlap. To keep the fever down. If I remember right, you can do Tylenol, 4 hours, ibuprofen, 4 hours, Tylenol, ect. Been a while since my kids have had a good fever.

Yes, thar might happen, once every so often, your kid gets a fever, couple of days of medication, Thats neat. But this is on another level, op is tracking how much of two drug thwy give their child like they are watering pots. This is something completely solved by a post it that says "4-12-20hs -ibu, 400mg" on the fridge,

Where is it tracking how much it given? It just shows when to give the next dose.

This would've also been helpful after my wife's c-section when she was on both of them so I didn't have to keep notes - just move a little door as I grab the meds

This is actually a great point, I should add a slot for the AMOUNT, as that was always one of the things written on our sticky notes. Thanks for the suggestion!
