Yes: Stick to the children's dosage and alternating ibuprophen and Acetaminophen can work well. The danger is in giving too much acetaminophen. As always, check with your pediatrician if you have any questions.

Teething and pain: Generally Ibuprofen is much more effective for teething than tylenol (acetaminophen). You can also let your baby chew on a cold teething ring.Some parents have found camilia really aids in teething discomfort. It is important you do not give your baby more than four doses of Acetaminophen in any one day. Acetaminophen really challenges the liver. Massaging the gum tissue with a soft bristle brush can also help.
