    I give Tylenol for fever and Motrin for teething. ?DS doesn't get Tylenol often. ?

    Motrin is a better pain relieve, Tylenol is a fever reducer.

    Ditto.

    For stubborn fevers (usually the day after shots), I alternate Tylenol and Motrin every 4 hours.

    Our pedi didn't ok Motrin until after 6mos, so he got Tylenol for the only fever he's had and his very first teeth.  Other than that, it's pretty much been Motrin, which is much better for teething b/c it helps with inflammation.

    I alternated Tylenol and Motrin over the weekend for teething. It's the only that worked.
