It is called "Children’s Motrin" it is an Ibuprofen oral suspension that has 100 mg per 5 ml (per teaspoon) it is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It lasts up to 8 hours. It comes in different flavors but my daughter perfers the original berry flavor. On the side of the box it gives directions on the amount to give per weight of child. It is recommended that if your child is under 2 years of age you need to check with your pediatrician to see how much to give them.

We were told by our pediatrician that if the fever is pretty tough and not staying away with just Children’s Tylenol suspension (acetaminophen) then we could alternate the tylenol and the motrin because they are two different pain relievers. THIS IS IS ONLY TO BE OKed BY YOUR OWN DOCTOR! I think there is an age limit on doing this. But I am not sure. When the fever will not leave we of course do our stress dose of her Cortef, then we do Motrin. Then 4 hours later the tylenol, then 4 hours later the Motrin again until the fever is gone. I write all this down so I do not confuse times. So actually you are giving the Tylenol every 8 hours and the Motrin every 8 hours when you break down the times. BUT AGAIN CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR! This is when the fever is high but not sky high. It is for one that I know is a virus. They say a the typical fever starts a virus. If that fever goes away a couple days and then returns, the virus has now turned into an infection some where in the body. Like if it is cold, it can turn into bronchitis, or an ear infection. Then you need to see a doctor. OR if the fever is sky high, the child is lethargic, then I would inject her solu cortef, and take my daughter directly to the E.R. Knock on wood we have not had to do that thus far. But I would take her in a heart beat to the E.R. if need be. I would rather be safe then sorry. It is all a matter of learning your child’s habits and personality. I hope this helped.
