NEED HELP!!! babygirl has a temp of 103.7 we just got home from the er she has a respitory infection. The doctor wrote give her 2.5ml of tylonol and 1.5ml of motrin TOGETHER for her fever. Never heard of giving them at the same time so i called and confirmed and he said definitely together but now my MIL and the pharmacist at cvs told me DONT give them together alternate them. Advice please?
My MIL is an ER nurse. She said they are more effective given at the same time and it is fine. But that Tylenol is more dangerous than Motrin
@jcandbabye, wow i never knew they made infant Tylenol i learned something new..on my youngest been using Motrin only.
@chanelmior they are both infants medicines infants motrin and infants tylonol
Oh i see now they have Motrin for her age group 6m to 23 m but Tylenol i only see 2 years and up. So no
When my oldest was that age i only gave him Motrin but now that he is 3 i alternate it. But with my youngest who is 18 months i only give him Motrin.
Personally I would alternate. That's what I have always done for a high fever. Not a doctor just my opinion
I have always alternated every 3 hours when my son had fevers. Never heard of giving it at the same time.
@melody_momof5 and those are full doses too. Idk though i think i should just alternate them to be safe?
I would listen to a doctor over a pharmacist.
