Dear parent, I understand your concerns. to relieve fever and body aches you should give alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen syrup every 4 hours . this means you give acetaminophen at one time then after 4 hours you give ibuprofen syrup and so on. the dose for your child will be 5 ml or one teaspoon. I hope I answered your question
