Motrin: Yes you can use Motrin but don't use both drugs together.

Motrin vs Tylenol (acetaminophen)?: No, Motrin (ibuprofen) is contraindicated for infants under 6 months of age. Stick with Acetaminophen (tylenol).

NO: Ibuprofen is not approved for infants under 6 months. Their kidneys are not mature enough and it can cause significant damage. You may not have to give your child anything for her shots. The option to wait and see is always open.
