i have to question why we are giving motrin. unless the doctor specifically advised you to use motrin i would use tylenol. we have had cases of reye's syndrome when parents treat a fever or pain associated with a viral infection with motrin so until the cause of a fever is determined you should use tylenol first. and of course don’t give your son aspirin or medications that contain salicylate. they’re definitely linked to reye's syndrome. parents should always ask the pharmacist about children's medications especially since many have different dosing and may not be appropriate for all. make sure you read the instructions and all warnings on the packaging.
can i give my 7-year-old son zyrtec and motrin at the same time
