Is It Safe To Give 2 Weeks Expired Ibuprofen To A 10 Months Old?
Hello doctor, my 10 month old has been extremely fussy n running slight fevers on and off. I ve got acetaminophen but I know it s better to rotate between ibuprofen n acetamenophin buuuuttt I don t have money for new ibuprofen and mine is just expired by only 2 months, not even, just a month and about 2 weeks but can I use that ibuprofen safely in rotation between the 2 or should I beg someone to help me out?! Please help, I can t keep watching her like this n can t keep waiting out the acetaminophen?!?Thank you greatly! Concerned mommy of 2..
Hi...I suggest you not to give it. It is not advisable please. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
