A member asked:
Is it okay to stagger doses of tylenol/advil for feverish child (5 yrs old)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You Can: It is , but whether it is better is not clear.Thr current rotine is to give a dose every 4 hours.I believe that this method gives too many peaks and valleys in the amount of meds in the system.One med gives a more even effect.
