Ibuprofen?
The nurse said I can get DS 8mths some Ibuprofen after his flu shot for the swelling so here are my questions:
1-Is it special baby ibuprofen or adult kind?
2-How much do I give?
I dont know why I didnt just ask the nurse this..

Re: Ibuprofen?
They make childrens advil or store brand ibuprofen. Read the dose on the package. They changed recently. Ask the pharmacist...
Never give adult medication to children..

Ibuprofen?
Don't give adult to a child ever! Check this link ( http://www.parents.com/health/medicine/antibiotics/ibuprofen-dosage-chart/ ) for proper doseage for weight. Also pay attention to the concintration of the doseage (50mg/1.25 ml OR 160mg/5ml)
