Re: What to give for headaches?

[Guest guest]

Motrin makes a children's dye free version. It does have artificial colors in

it, but was the best choice we could find. It is also GF/CF. Here's a link to

the product information:

Looking for something that would be the least problematical for my

daughter. Motrin, an ibuprophen, has FD & C yellow #6. Aleve,naproxen

sodium (does anyone know if this is O.K?) has FD & C blue #2. (I also

noticed that some brands refer to blue #2 as aluminum lake.)

Any opinions on pain killers greatly appreciated.

I am sorry, I meant to say artificial flavors, NOT COLORS.

We use " Junior Strength Advil " which has easy to swallow tablets and

no artificial colors.

For me, headaches are because of nitrates or yeast. So I dose myself

with GSE whenever I get a headache [i avoid nitrates like the plague!]

I use Motrin for my kids. There is a dye free version if you like

liquids. I use the adult capsules, which contain very little dyes and

seem to work best for my kids. I adjust the adult dose for the age

and weight of the child.

-We use both the Motrin and Motrin cold because its available in dye

free and the flavors do not bother my daughter. Although she only

takes the plain Motrin ocassionally for a headache sometimes she has

taken several doses of the cold over a few days when she's sick and

I've never seen a negative reaction. It seems easy to find to

purchase.
