Will Double Doze Of Advil Effect A Child ?
I accidently gave my son a double dose of advil. He is 3 1/2 and weighs 32 lbs. The second dose was an hour after the first. I meant to give him Tylenol and gave him liquid advil instead. He has a fever of 102.5 and the advil was not bringing it down so decided to add the tylenol but gave him advil by accident.

Hello,
Let me assure you that although you have given your child double the prescribed dose of ibuprofen to your child, there is nothing to worry as the maximum recommended daily dose is much more.
But always be attentive while you are giving medicine to your child and nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
