Hai....Advil is Ibuprofen...a pain killer.. You have not mentioned but I assume that he is around 12 kg. That means its almost double the dose. You need not immediately rush...but keep watching for any stomach pain or breathing difficulty as its known to cause gastritis & wheeze. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
