Fever and Pain

Children's fever and pain relief from Tylenol, Advil, Pediatrix and Homeocan: infant drops, children's liquids, junior chewables and suppositories, shipped across Canada.

Acetaminophen or ibuprofen?

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Pediatrix, Acet suppositories): relieves fever and pain and is gentle on the stomach. Suppositories are an option when a child can't keep medicine down.
Ibuprofen (Children's Advil, Advil Junior): relieves fever, pain and inflammation, and is for children 6 months and older. Give it with food or milk if it upsets the stomach.

Dosing safely

Dose by weight where the label allows, otherwise by age, and use only the syringe or cup that comes with the product.
Infant drops and children's liquids are different strengths. Never swap the dosing devices or substitute one for the other.
Don't give two products that contain the same medicine, and keep a note of the time and amount of each dose.
Ask a pharmacist before alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

When to call a doctor

Seek medical care right away for any fever in a baby under 3 months, or if a child of any age is unusually drowsy, hard to wake, has trouble breathing, shows signs of dehydration, has a seizure or has a fever lasting more than 3 days. Trust your instincts: if your child seems very unwell, get help.
