A member asked:
Can i give my 8 yo childrens motrin 4 hours after childrens dimetap?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, Motrin does not interfere with or interact poorly if Dimetapp is in their system. The timing of doses can be near the same time or separate as indicated by the situation.

Cough/cold preparations are not recommended for children; the side effects are suffered without much benefit. For cough or sore throat, a teaspoon of honey can be beneficial for kids 2 and up.
