My daughter was perscribed amoxicillin ( ear infection ). Can i still use Children’s Tylenol (acetaminophen) and switch off with Children’s Motrin ( ibuprofen ) to help with her fever?

That should be just fine! I’m allergic to amoxicillin, so I’ve never done it myself. But, amoxicillin is an antibiotic, whereas Tylenol and ibuprofen are, like you said, acetaminophen.
But really, just to make sure I would call your pediatricians care lime and they can give you the okay over the phone.
I hope she gets well soon!

Yes it's fine. Amoxicillin isn't going to help with the fever

Yes, it is ok however stick to just one either the Tylenol or the ibuprofen the dosing per hour are different. I’d personally stick with Tylenol because it’s every 4 hours as needed for the fever or if your child is complaining of pain.

Yeah, we normally switch off every 4-5 hours. I am terrified of fevers now after witnessing my daughter have a febrile seizure 😭
