A member asked:

Can i give my 13 month daughter children's motrin (ibuprofen) or just infants? is there a difference besides the concentration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Motrin: Yes you can, If you provide her weight, I would give the dose, you can ask your pediatrician or follow instructions on the bottle according to weight not age. Good luck.
