Guest guest Posted December 27, 1999 Report Share Posted December 27, 1999 Annie, The anti-inflamatory most often used is naprosyn (naproxyn). Is Jordan seeing a pediatric rheumatologist? What area does she live in? Maybe someone can give you a good referral. Charlie >From: AJSMAMA@... > >Hi Angie. I am a new member, just subscribed today.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 Group, Just a reminder: Do not use ibuprofin (Motrin) if your child is on Naprosyn unless the doctor instructs you to. Both Motrin and Naprosyn are antinflammatory drugs. ran a slight fever and I called the pediatrician to see what she could have. The nurse told me to give her tylenol.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 Teri, Kelsey's doctor also told us we could use Tylenol, but not Motrin or Advil while she's on Naprosyn. I keep it on hand anyway for my 8 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 motrin was the only thing to ever help offer relief for me and only then at almost od levels, now my kidneys have been affected and i cant tolerate it all, nor aspirin. so u r right, be careful. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 , I just joined this group -- we may be facing . Our daughter is a lot younger than yours but also throws up Motrin. It's not the most pleasant solution, but People's Pharmacy in Austin will make Motrin suppositories with a prescription. It has been a huge help for us, since the fever is brought down immediately and we can get our daughter back to bed in the middle of night. Otherwise, we were forced to try giving her the Motrin basically one drop at a time, hoping to avoid her spitting it up. > > Do others have trouble with their kids keeping the motrin down? When Hayden's fever gets really high (especially when she first wakes up) she tends to throw up her motrin. I TRY to get her to eat something first - but she usually won't eat much during her fever... now she is TERRIFIED about taking motrin since she has gotten sick the last couple of times. Is the Tylenol chewable? She doesn't swallow pills yet... > > Hayden missed the whole last week of school last week - what a bummer. We skipped the fever in April and I was crossing my fingers... but it came back full force in May. > > Thanks, > > > Daughter Hayden, (7), > Austin, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Thanks so much for your info. It might be worth looking in to. The middle of the night / early morning motrin doses are the worst - but the most important! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Our son would also throw his motrin up when his fevers got to high in the middle of the night. So we started waking him up BEFORE they peaked and giving him his dose. Was tough waking him but he kept it down and and went back to sleep. Once he started tagamet, the fevers slowed and then stopped. He still gets leg/joint pains but MUCH BETTER. Good luck , dad to 5 yrs old. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Gilman Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 2:28 PM Subject: RE: Re: motrin Thanks so much for your info. It might be worth looking in to.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 We have used suppositories as well for our daughter Ella when she had trouble keeping down Tylenol and Motrin. Suppositories may be a less desireable alternative for older kids (Ella is still too little to care), but they have been a lifesaver on occasion. Our pharmacy had Tylenol suppositories behind the counter (they have to be refrigerated) that did not require a perscription, so we just needed to ask for them. Tylenol hasn't been as effective in getting the fever down and keeping it down with Ella, however, the times that we've used the Tylenol suppositories, it worked to bring the fever down far enough so that she wouldn't throw up a dose of Motrin. > > > > Do others have trouble with their kids keeping the motrin down? > When Hayden's fever gets really high (especially when she first > wakes up) she tends to throw up her motrin.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 My son also throws up both Tylenol and Motrin. We thought the vomiting was part of the , but then we realized it only happened when we gave him the medicine. We stopped giving it and the vomiting stopped. I know that isn't an option for those with fevers that go much higher than 's (he usually peaks at 104, and lately it hasn't gone that high). We tried the Tylenol suppositories once, and he just pushed it right back out. He had just turned two at the time. Good luck finding something that works for your daughter. - --- m_barrett <m_barrett@...> wrote: > , > I just joined this group -- we may be facing .

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I remember reading that some kids look a lot better while taking motrin. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
