12 month old cutting 7th tooth. big hole in gum. how many nights in a row is it okay to give infant advil (ibuprofen) @ night time? today will be 2nd night.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advil (ibuprofen): With Advil, (ibuprofen) you are allowed to take it every 6 hrs as needed, so if only using it once a day at night, it's not a big deal. There isn't a specific number of days that would make it too long. if really having discomfort, then continue to give it.
