Ibuprofen and levothyroxin are not contraindicated
in children.
Levothyroxin won't cause any problem.
Ibuprofen may cause some gastritis-Acidity-Heartburn
or vomiting at the most.
You can give child ranitidine 150 mg twice a day
and liq. Antacid like DIGENE 3 TSP three times /day.
Give plenty of water and liquid.
He will be fine.
