As : As long as you did not give a drug that is made up of a combination of sudafed and Ibuprofen or sudafed and naproxen, you can give your son advil (which is ibuprofen). Just look on the sudafed box and it will tell you what the active ingredients are. I hope he feels better soon!

Sudafed overdose: I would be careful in giving sudsfed.Sudafed contains pseudo ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate). If given too much it can be the cause of fever, nervousness and other symptoms.
