Yep its Tylenol. Supposedly there is an adults liquid.
Also, some people took a half of the prescription stuff.
I, on the other hand, chose to stay knocked out all day.

You need to take all liquids at this time, not pills, even crushed or cut in half. Get some kid's tylenol and you are going to have to double it. Just no NSAIDS or Advil, Ibuprofen or motrin stuff.
I took the liquid lortab, but not the full amount, I took sips of it just to cut the pain, and sleeping a lot is not so bad at this stage as long as he is eating and getting his protein liquids
Good Luck, and if you have other questions, tell him to call the floor where he was in the hospital!
