Children’s ibuprofen or acetaminophen (aka the great Motrin vs Tylenol debate)?
![ibuprofen or acetaminophen](https://www.twopedsinapod.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/517CB87B-91AA-4C6C-9FD6-1522E3B3B540_1_105_c-1024x578.jpeg)
Have you wondered, when your child gets a headache or suffers a sprained ankle, if you should give your child ibuprofen (e.g. brand names Motrin or Advil) or acetaminophen (e.g. brand name Tylenol)? What about for those middle-of-the-night fevers? Does it matter which one you give?
This post address these very questions.
