(I need to alternate them to keep the kids comfortable)...thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somo_chickenlady Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Tylenol - 4hrs Ibuprofen - 6hrs I hope they feel better soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 but i know you can alternate between the 2 medicines, I was just wondering how long after I give tylenol, can I safely gie Motrin...and vice versa. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Every three hours you can alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somo_chickenlady Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes, I would do every 3 hours. Like at 6, give tylenol, then at 9 give ibuprofen, then at 12 give tylenol again, etc, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
