With fevers, both my girls respond better to Ibuprofen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-641019 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:22:16 +0000 Mrsbells 641019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Are you referring to the Brand Tylenol or acetaminophen in general </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-641017 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:22:02 +0000 Weagle 641017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use both, usually acetaminophen during the day and ibuprofen at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-641008 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:20:29 +0000 lemondrop 641008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician prefers Ibuprofen, and it has worked great for us so far. </p> <p>I also remember hearing about Tylenol possibly increasing childhood asthma on NPR about a year ago (<a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/02/20/147002356/does-tylenol-worsen-asthma-for-kids" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/02/20/147002356/does-tylenol-worsen-asthma-for-kids</a>), since my husband is an asthmatic, we are trying to avoid increasing our son's risks. </p> <p>*Note- that isn't meant to freak anyone out, and I haven't looked into any journals further about this, we just made the choice to avoid it because there are already risk factors there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-641002 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:18:48 +0000 twinmama 641002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know you could give ibuprofen after 6 months! We always give acetaminophen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-640984 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:13:27 +0000 Mrsbells 640984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the issue. if its mild pain then acetaminophen, but if its really bad or its for night time then ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is stronger and the effects last longer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-640976 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:11:53 +0000 Sweet T 640976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Ibuprofen because DS takes it better and it lasts longer. I use tylenol if I need it to kick in fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acetaminophen-or-ibuprofen#post-640960 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:08:19 +0000 luckypenny 640960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After six months, do you have a preference which medicine you use? What are your reasons. </p>
