Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen dosage for 12 year old

ibuprofen

Avatar n tn Ibuprofen is a bloodthinner. They say you arent supposed to take it...only tylenol. Because when you are pregnant the volume of blood in your body increases by 50%. If you were to have an accident, go into preterm labor, etc...you could bleed out and hemmorage. Causing lots of problems!
Avatar n tn I can understand your concern and it is VERY justified. I do agree that 200Mgs for a 12 year old child seems too high to me also. I have to question this Psychiatrists judgement on that dosage. I look at it this way, if 200Mgs of Zoloft is needed just to control your daughters depression, then perhaps it's not an effective drug for her. There are many other AD medications that could control her depression at a much lower dosage that would probably be more effective for her.
Avatar n tn 5 mg, and cough suppressant dextromethorphan 15 mg, each per 5 mL), then the guideline dose for a 4-year-old is one-quarter teaspoon (the one-half teaspoon dose is for age 6-11 years, while the full teaspoon dose is for ages 12 years and up).
Avatar f tn My dog is 12 year old and has arthrits and the vet told me to use glucosamine. In the summer time he does not need it. Now my dog is whimpering and shakeing, when I pet him he stops. This started a couple of days ago. The weather got really cold fast and I just started him back on glucosamine. Does this sound like the arthrits acting up or do I need to worry? How much glucosamine can I give him? I hate when my dog is in pain, I have had him since I was in kindergarden.
Avatar m tn Dear doctor is it okay to give my 2.5 year old a dose of Voltarol suppository 12.5mg 5 hours after I have given her a dose of 3ml ibuprofen (100mg/5ml)? When her tympanic temp is 40.
Avatar f tn Tylenol is unveiling new maximum dosage instructions for paracetamol or acetaminophen in the US. The new instructions state a maximum total daily of 3,000 mg versus the old maximum of 4,000 mg. Additionally, it states to take the over the counter dosage every 6 hours instead of every 4 to 6 hours. These new instructions seem to be specific to their over the counter products not prescription medications.
Avatar f tn My daughter is 12 and from the time she was 4 she has remained sick. She had severe eczema so bad that she kept staph infections. She stayed tired all the time, complains of muscle pains, and sore throat. Finally 3 years ago the infection in her skin was so bad they thought she had Toxic Shock. This was when a doctor finally seen that her thyroid had been slightly low for over 3 years. So she was put on thyroid medications and there was improvement in her skin. NO MORE INFECTIONS.

Avatar m tn Pediatrician says we will need to test our other 2 children as they get near pre puberty. We have a 9 year old girl and 5 year old boy. Thanks for explaining the remission part...it makes sense to me now. For now we are staying positive, she doesn't mind taking her pill and we are all making better food choices. EBV can be so debilitating...interesting about one of the causes of Hashi's. We plan on staying on top of this disease. Thank you Laura for your information...
1148241 tn?1294052796 Thanks for answering Carolan. Actually I really hadn't thought it was a problem to take Ibuprofen in the morning and then Naproxen in the evening (which says NSAID) on the bottle (over the counter). Hmmm I 'm glad you mentioned that. I'm going to look that up but I'll stick to only one kind a day.
Avatar f tn Okay, I KNOW that I remember being told by the liver doctor who performed my biopsy that if I do need to take a pain reliever that I should take Tylenol. My OB/GYN doctor just told me to take Advil for cramps because it isn't metabolized in the liver. I rarely take anything, but if I do, which is less risky? Liver biopsy one year ago found no significant tissue scarring. My recent ALT enzyme levels are slightly lower than before, 61. My other enzyme levels are normal.
Avatar f tn I have a 12 year old son. He has been vomiting intermittently for the past year. He was better during the summer months but as I write (March) has been sick and getting worse for three months. He has has an MRI, allergy tests, bacterial tests and a scan to check that there is no internal blockage etc. ALL negative. He isn't stressed (apart from by being ill). Sickness generally occurs at night, he has bouts of severe vomiting even if there is nothing in his stomach.
570614 tn?1217468649 Should i be concerned for the fact that i hardly urinate as it is and about the amount of Ibuprofen im consuming daily? Hope im not bothering and thank you again.
Avatar f tn Sweetie, there is nothing that you can take that is "a night time formula" that would have that much Ibuprofen in a dose. You shouldn't exceed the recommended dosage and if you took something that said it was a night time formula then you probably took something with diphenydramine in it. What are the active ingredients on the bottle? What strength per dose? 2900mg of Ibuprofen plus anything for sleep in not good. You need to tell someone what you took before you go to sleep.
4722421 tn?1360708571 If you are on blood thinners, or even an .81mg Aspirin a day, it's dangerous to use NSAIDs because of the chance of stomach bleeds that are hard to stop once they get going.
Avatar n tn My 14 year old has had a low background headache for 12 weeks (all the time) with sharper pains occurring several times a day, also feeling of pressure at sides of his head developing suddenly and then slowly improving, he has had episodes of blurred vision, dizziness, aversion to lights, nausea. However coordination and balance seem fine, eating and sleeping well. MRI report is normal. Any ideas?
Avatar n tn my stomach had a hole in it from all the ibuprofen/vicodin/ponstel I had taken.) I finally had the surgery for it and they removed a lot of endometriosis. Afterward I went on birth control (even though I didn't want to) and I literally had no pain. It's been a year since then and I've had to switch my method of birth control due to adenomyosis (endo of the uterus muscle) from the pill to the shot, and the shot has brought me much more relief (though not for everyone).
Avatar n tn Amoxicillin is fine if it's the correct antibiotic. Dental infections can be from either an aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria. Having the correct antibiotic is VERY important. I urge you to at least call your dentist for approval before you treat a dental abscess yourself. Amoxicillin may be fine, but you may need something like clindamycin instead. Also, it's very important that a FULL dose is taken for dental infections.

Avatar m tn My 15 year old son had his first seizure 18 months ago. He has had 20 grand mals. Recently switched from lamotrogine ( he was up tp 900 mg a day) now on keppra 2500 mg/day. Has anyone had success with keppra for primary generalized seizures in monotherapy?
Avatar m tn My 8-year old daughter was diagnosed with Vitiligo. I was reading online that B-12 and Folic Acid may help. I was wondering, what would a safe age be to take B-12 and Folic Acid and in what dosage if okay at 8 years old. Thank you. Source: http://www.mayoclinic.
