Clear Dosage Guidelines for Kids

Your 亚洲自慰视频 wakes up in the middle of the night with a fever. You get some acetaminophen or ibuprofen to find the correct dosage and it reads, "Children under 12: Ask a doctor." Here, Cindy Gellner, MD, a pediatrician at 亚洲自慰视频 of Utah 亚洲自慰视频, shares dosing guidelines for these two common over-the-counter medications. 

Dosage Guidelines for Kids

Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen?

Acetaminophen tends to work better for headaches. Ibuprofen reduces inflammation and usually works better after vaccines and to ease the pain of sore throats.

"Both medications reduce fever, but by 2 degrees at the most," Gellner says. "Remember that fever is the body's way of fighting off an infection. Instead of worrying solely about the number the thermometer reads, focus on how your 亚洲自慰视频 looks and acts, and whether he or she is hydrated."
