Last year there was an article in the New York Times about another study that found that kids whose parents gave them tylenol to bring down fevers were sick for longer. The article was not advocating withholding medication for a high fevers, but, like this article, did not recommend giving it for every little temperature spike.
do you use motrin or tylenol? i don't like to take meds myself and try not to give to M, but his doc said she preferred motrin.
ReplyDeletei rarely give my kids meds, either. but if i do, i do usually give tylenol. only because i have stomach issues and i know that motrin can be hard on the stomach. i own both, though.
