Question : My 8 yr old daughter took children motrin at 10 ml because her fever was 103.2. She vomittef immefiately after. Do i give her a smaller dose?

Answered by Dr. Sumanth Amperayani (24 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Unlikely that the medicine is absorbed

Detailed Answer:
Hi....any medicine vomited immediately wouldn't have been retained or absorbed. I suggest you either give half of the dose of Motrin or Paracetamol in the appropriate dose.
