[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hijack but I have a similar question. 5 yo DS who is 40 lbs but tall for his age. We're going out of town and I accidentally bought the chewable Advil instead of the chewable Tylenol. Chewable Tylenol gave dosage instructions according to weight below 48 lbs but chewable Advil doesn't. Box says for kids age 6-11. It says the dosage is 2 tablets for 48-59 lbs and under that to ask a doctor. Doctors office is closed. Hopefully we won't need it, but do you think I could give him 1 tablet if needed? He will not take liquid medicine, so options are limited. [/quote] This is what I would do--look at the dosage instructions for liquid Advil, calculate how much is recommended for his weight, and convert that to the number of tablets you need to deliver the equivalent amount of ibuprofen. https://childrens.advil.com/childrens-advil-suspension[/quote]
