[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 months. I'd follow the pediatrician's recommendation, not the GP. And IMO, ibuprofen does work much better for teething and fevers than Tylenol, and it lasts longer. [/quote] Also, ibuprofen isn't linked to asthma, like acetaminophen. But don't use it before 6 months.[/quote] Exactly. Tylenol for over 6 mos is way more troubling, given that it increases risk for asthma!!![/quote] There is a study that correlates it with asthma, not that it causes it. [/quote] So? That's how it usually goes. Causation is hard to prove. Why would I use acetaminophen if there is a more effective alternative that's not correlated with asthma? It's also something to keep in mind when dispensing medication to your baby. Don't give meds immediately for every little thing, like a little fussiness after vaccinations.[/quote]
