Acetaminophen and ibuprofen (Children's Tylenol and Children's Motrin)
They're my go-to pain relievers and fever reducers. I usually turn to ibuprofen first, because taste matters with kids, especially my kids, and when I try to give them acetaminophen, most of it ends up on the floor or on their pajamas, not in their tummies.Related Articles
