My granddaughter is 4. She had a temp of 104.2. I gave her iburprofen. 45 mins later it went up to 104.4. I put her in the tub. Temp dropped to 100.6 she has been out for over an hour. Her temp is going up. 101.6 Can i give her Tylenol also? How long do I wait after the ibuprofen

Hi,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. You can give Tylenol right away together with cold compresses. Ibuprofen doses should not exceed four times daily and you can give Tylenol for another four doses also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
