Why not working?: I hope you are using the pain/fever reducers for "comfort care" and not chasing numbers on the thermometer. Infant advil (ibuprofen) has the same ingredient as childrens only it is more concentrated. A maximum dose is: infant advil: 2.5ml every 8 hrs versus children's advil 5ml every 8 hrs. See your doctor if you find your son is not improving over time.

Cause and Duration: Please see your Pediatrician to determine if there is a treatable cause of the fever. If the fever persists more than 48 hours, please follow up. The dose depends on your medication type and concentration. Please check with your pharmacy and pediatrician.
