What to give a child with a fever who has asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any will do...: Any fever reducer will do. Choice will not effect asthma. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin are fine. The only time patients with asthma should avoid NSAIDs are if they have been diagnosed with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). This is usually an adult onset diagnosis so no worries.
