A member asked:
I have a 10 year old who weighs 130 lbs. can she take an adult ibuprofen 200 mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes she can: But read the labels carefully, don't exceed recommended dosage/duration, take after meals not on an empty stomach, usually the dose for kids is 5-10 mg/ kg every 6 hours, and she weighs around 60 kgs, obese though, check this link for weight and height https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set2clinical/cj41c072.pdf
