you can still give Tylenol for the fever even though she is on the Naproxen.

I do not know that the Naproxen will help with the fever. It did not bring

down Zoe's when she had a fever a while back, but it came down when I added

in the Tylenol.

I hope she is feeling better soon.

I'm not sure what to do here. Jordan has fever of 101.9 that came from

no where. She said her ankles hurt at school today and about 1 ago she

said her knees were bothering her. For the most part she's been fine

today. After school she was running around playing. She even lost her

first tooth this afternoon and had to call EVERYONE she was so excited.

Usually I'd give her some Tylenol or Motrin but since she's started

back on Naproxen I'm not sure what to give her. It's close enough to

her scheduled dose of Naproxen so that should help her fever since it's

a NSAID like Motrin right? Thanks!

Hi Stacey, Our Dr says it is ok to give tylenol when needed for

fever and or headaches when needed even when she is on naproxen. I

don't think the naproxen helps at all with fever. Hope she will

start feeling better soon.

What I did was give her the regular dose of Naproxen and within about 1

hour she was feeling better and her fever had gone down. It wasn't gone

but not like it was. She fell asleep on me around 10 last night and I

figured she'd wake up at least once and I could give her Tylenol then

but she didn't. She woke up this morning at 6:30 and she was back up to

102.3. I gave her her regular dose of Naproxen so I'll give her some

Tylenol in a bit.

I'm going to call her Dr. to let them know she has a fever. I had strep

a little over a week ago so it's possible she has it now. She's not

complaining about anything hurting now so I have no clue what's going

on with her. We're supposed to go to our Walk- Kick off tomorrow night

and now I'm not sure if we're going to make it

Do not give Motrim if a child is taking an NSAID. You can give tylenol.

Hi ,

I give my son tylenol for any fevers not motrin - just like the other moms

mentioned. Also, thought I would let you know that both my boys also had a

fever with no complaints of much else. The fever lasted a few days and the

doctors said it was a flu that was going around this year. Rest and fluids

cleared it up at our house after a few days.
