Tylenol and Motrin Dosing Chart

• Tylenol and Motrin are dosed based on your child’s most recent weight.
• Tylenol may be given every 4 hours as needed
• Motrin may be given every 6 hours as needed (> 6 months of age)
• Tylenol and Motrin work completely differently. You may alternate dosing if needed for high fevers. Example:
• Tylenol given at 12:00, Motrin given at 3:00, Tylenol at 6:00, Motrin at 9:00
• You only need to do this if the medication you are giving is not helping to bring your child’s temperature down.
