A member asked:
I gave my son 12 hr relief delsym (dextromethorphan) for his cough but he has a fever now. is it safe to give him motrin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as he has had Motrin before without a problem and has no medical contraindication to having it, it is fine. There is no adverse interaction between Delsym (dextromethorphan) and ibuprofen (the active ingredient in Motrin).
