I took my son to the pediatrician today because he is sick (and teething). Well, I asked him about motrin for teething (he is getting his molars in) and he said I can use Childrens (not Infant) Motrin at 1/2 teaspoon.
My son is 13 months and 20 lbs. (he lost weight because he isn't eating since he is sick and in pain)
My Questions are:
Do you think I should use Childrens instead of Infants like the ped suggested even though my son is only 13 months and 20 lbs??
Do you think 1/2 teaspoon sounds right given my son's weight and age? Doesn't it sound like it's too much medicine??
Prior to this I have been using Infant tylenol but I think it's not working too well.
thanks in advance
