3 1/2 year old, fever, somach ache, a little bit of dry mouth, no vomiting, no fever, regular stool, regular urination? I am on vacation with no access to medicine for the next 3 hours. Only thing available is adult ibuprofen. What should I and can I do? What could be the cause?
Hi...this could as well be a viral illness. If you want to use Ibuprofen I suggest you use plain Ibuprofen. It can be given at the dose of 10\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 8th hourly if temperature is more than 101F and the strength of the suspension is 100\u00a0mg/5ml. But if you can get back to me with the weight, of the kid I will be able to help you out and also mention in your query the strength the adult Ibuprofen you have with you. I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
