Hi...this could as well be a viral illness. If you want to use Ibuprofen I suggest you use plain Ibuprofen. It can be given at the dose of 10mg/kg/dose every 8th hourly if temperature is more than 101F and the strength of the suspension is 100mg/5ml. But if you can get back to me with the weight, of the kid I will be able to help you out and also mention in your query the strength the adult Ibuprofen you have with you.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
