Summary
Currently, when a child has fever either ibuprofen (e.g. Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen
(e.g. Tylenol) is given. Both Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are approved for over the counter
use for treatment of fever by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study hopes to
determine whether giving both medications together is better than giving one medication alone
for the treatment of fever.
