Study Summary
Currently, when a child has fever either ibuprofen (e.g. Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) is given. Both Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are approved for over the counter use for treatment of fever by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study hopes to determine whether giving both medications together is better than giving one medication alone for the treatment of fever.
Primary Outcome
Temperature was measured hourly using a temporal thermometer to monitor the child's temperature in degrees C. Temperature of 38 degrees C or higher was considered febrile.
