A member asked:

What is best to give childrens motrin or childrens tylenol (acetaminophen)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both are OK: Both are fine to use in the appropriate doses. Check with your provider for the appropriate dose for your child's age and weight. Make sure there are no allergies to these medications.
