How much children's Ibuprofen should I take for period cramps?

The only liquid pain medication I could find is children's ibuprofen (i'm terrified of swallowing pills). I'm 18, somewhere around 5'3 - 5'4, and around 110-115 lbs. thank you! :)

The recommended dosage of ibuprofen for adults over 12 years is one or two 200 milligram (mg) tablets or 10-20 milliliters (ml) every four to six hours. So just read the dosage on the children's Ibuprofen and adjust your dosage accordingly. There is no difference in the actual medication, children are just recommended to take a smaller dosage than adults.

Yes, it causes leg cramps for me. It does wonders for my arthritis and other aches and pains.

This seems to help.
