Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 , If you have componding pharmacy in the area, you can get ibuprofen compounded with no illegal ingredients. Also, you can just give regular Ibuprofen in an emergency situation. Elaine always said that medication should be given when needed, even if it wasn't " legal " . As for what to expect if you give the Ibuprofen, I think it depends on the child. It gives my boys stomach aches. But it's one of those situations where you have to weight the options and do what you think is best for your child.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thank you for the responses. I will look into a compounding pharmacy? His fever started at a very low grade (99.8), but is slowly increased to 101. So far, I haven't given him any medication - I wanted to be ready if it hits 102-103° Thanks again, > > , > > If you have componding pharmacy in the area, you can get ibuprofen > compounded with no illegal ingredients. > > Also, you can just give regular Ibuprofen in an emergency situation. > Elaine always said that medication should be given when needed, even > if it wasn't " legal " . > > As for what to expect if you give the Ibuprofen, I think it depends on > the child.
