Suggest Treatment For Body Pain While On Motrin And Tylenol

My son who is almost 9 is having aches and pain in his legs and arms. He is running 100.2 fever right now. I have been switching and giving him motrin and tylenol. He woke up again with 100.2 fever, but will not take the medicine right now which would be motrin I would give him. The last time he had it was yesterday at 4:40. Should i just let him sleep and watch the temp? kat

Hello,

You should give to son the right treatment. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen alternating them about 3 hours apart from each other. Make sure to give him right dose (250 mg).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
