When giving your child medicine at home, be sure you know the right dose.
Whether our children have fever or pain, acetaminophen (such as Tylenol™) and ibuprofen (such as Motrin™ or Advil™) are our main tools to help them feel better. Both are great medications for fever and pain, and ibuprofen has an added benefit of fighting inflammation.
Both medications should be given in appropriate doses and with appropriate timing. Oral dosing recommendations on the packages of medications are most often given in weight or age ranges. This can lead to under-dosing or slight over-dosing. Please refer to our dosing chart so you can safely dose your child based on their current weight.
From my initial phone calling asking questions before I showed up.. to the excellent service by every person working .. I could not express how grateful I am to have found this place. I have told all my friends with kids about this place and have saved this contact in my phone in case needed in the future. Exceptional cleanliness, most friendly staff. Totally made my 2.5 old feel comfortable in a doctor office setting which is usually scary. Thank you!
