Re: can dimetapp and children's tylenol be taken together?

Sorry I don't know about dimetapp/tylenol, but I do know a little

trick for reducing fevers. In the event you have not tried this yet,

try alternating tylenol with motrin. Motrin for 8 hrs then

tylenol...this seems to squash fevers.

Hope that helps. Feel better soon!

I am no doctor but i have given my children both dimetapp and

tylenol together and no problems.... it also works to altermate the

tylenol with the motrin like kristine said and it works great....

Not only can you alternate tylenol and motrin, but you can take them together as

they aren't the same medicine. Just watch your maximum dosage levels that are

laid out on the package. You should also check and make sure that the dimetap

that you're giving doesn't have either of those in it as well. (The plain

dimetapp won't, there was one especially for colds, there for a while, that

did.)

Oh, and as far as tylenol not working on kids fevers... I have found that to be

true if the fever is especially nasty and I try to use the liquid. The

suppositories on the other hand seem to, excuse the appropriate expression here,

kick it in the butt! :-)

You can use tylenol and dimetapp at the same time they are two different

medication to treat two different things. And do the motin and tylenol it really
