A member asked:
My son has a 102 temp and what is better children's tylenol or children's motrin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either: Fever - need to treat only if child is uncomfortable. Fever is the body's response to infection. Tylenol can be dosed every 4-6 hours, motrin every 6-8 hours. Both are effective.
