Will acetaminophen-codeine help a cough and cold for a child?
Adult formulations have more Tylenol(acetaminophen) in them than childrens' codeine/APAP syrups and could be lethal to a child. It is not worth the risk. Codeine is a cough suppressant, but, again, it is dangerous to give children adult medications. It is illegal to give anyone prescription medication if it is not prescribed for that person. For colds, nutritional support and increased fluids are helpful and for coughing, there are OTC cough medications or "steaming in the shower/bathroom" alternatives...until you can get pediatric medication.

What classification is Tylenol?
"Class" is a bit ambiguous."Tylenol 2" refers to a specific brand and formulation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and codeine. Acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Codeine is a narcotic (it also has other properties, such as being an antitussive (cough suppressant)).Codeine itself is a Schedule II drug, but when mixed with acetaminophen, it is usually classified as Schedule III (mixing it with acetaminophen reduces the abuse potential, because acetaminophen is toxic to the liver in doses much above the recommended therapeutic dose; this keeps people from just taking many Tylenol 2 pills to obtain a large dose of codeine).

Can a bad cough cause your ribs to hurt?
If you cough enough to make your ribs sore, a doctor's appointment is necessary to determine the cause, as you may break your ribs if it continues. If your cough is productive = you cough up phlegm, then do not take cough suppressant medication and be sure not to swallow the phlegm. An expectorant will help. If you have a dry cough = no phlegm, then a cough suppressant (antitussive) will do you wonders. However, most OTC products are ineffective, so get a prescription or ask your pharmacist for something with codeine. Alternatively, dark chocolate 100g or over can be very effective.
