1) Tylenol and Motrin are not antibiotics. They are painkillers, and each has products available for relief of cold and flu symptoms.
2) Antibiotics cannot cure the flu, which is a virus. Antibiotics only kill bacteria-based illnesses.

Can you take Tylenol and then 2 hours later take Motrin to lower a child's fever?
You can mix the two because they are not the same medication. However I would not take anything else with acetaminophen (AKA Tylenol) such as NyQuil or Neoproxin (AKA Motrin) You should always consult a doctor before you do anything with medication.

You should be safe taking an OTC pain reliever, such as Tylenol or Motrin. It's best to ask your dentist, however.
Is ibuprofen the same as Motrin?
They are both NSAIDS and should not be taken together, but no; they are different medications. Motrin is Ibuprofen. Aleve is Naproxen Sodium. They are both anti-inflammatory medicines, with similar side effect profiles. They should not be taken together.
What is maximum dose of ibuprofen and acetaminophen when taken together?
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) passes though the liver, while Ibuprofen (Motrin) is passed through your kidneys. You can take your dosage (based on your weight ) for either medications at the same time safely. As a PA in the pediatric ER we do tell parents that they can give their child BOTH Tylenol and Motrin to help fight a bad fever. We like to have them have some overlap time because then the fever is covered (Take Tylenol 1st and 2 hours later take Motrin). Most of the time we just suggest straight Motrin (more than Tylenol) because the overlap can be confusing and their is a higher risk of Tylenol overdose than with Motrin. Remember Asprin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is different than Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetaminphen) and should NOT be given to children because it can cause Reyes Syndrome.
Should a 103 temperature 18 year old male go to hospital?
Yes, he has some type of infection. Give him Motrin or Tylenol to reduce his fever and get him to a doctor. This could be serious.
If your temperature is 100.5 how can you get it to go down?
Use a medication like ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or a fever reducer (Tylenol). If either of those doesn't work, you should visit your local physician.
Can you take 2 advil then three hours later take 800mg ibuprofen?
Tylenol is acetaminophen, and Motrin is an ibuprofen. They can be taken together, I am a nurse and have done it many times myself, and for my patients. Just make sure you are giving the appropriate doses of both medications, and then yes, they can be given at the same time.
Is it ok to take fioricet and Motrin 800 together for a bad tooth ache?
Yes it is safe to take both at same time. But only as needed. And as long as u follow dosing then you should be fine. Fioricet contains Tylenol; Motrin does not. This alone makes it safe. My doctors have me taking both 3x daily
Can you take Ibuprofen with codydromol?
CODYDROMOL IS PARACETAMOL (a.k.a. acetaminophen, Tylenol) mixed with dihydrocodeine tartrate. It's basically a "boosted" Tylenol. Ibuprofen (a.k.a. Motrin) is also a pain reliever (non-narcotic), but it differs from Tylenol because it is an NSAID (having anti-inflamatory) properties. Before you mix both types of pills, you really should ask your doctor or your pharmacist.
Should you take Tylenol if bleeding?
It depends on where you're are bleeding. It will stop the pain for a while, but not kill it.
Can you take Tylenol and methocarbamol?
Yes. However you should NOT mix NSAIDS - Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen), etc. with aspirin. Tylenol can be safely mixed with many other drugs including aspirin & narcotics that do not already contain Tylenol (acetaminophen). But ALWAYS check with your doctor or pharmacist first!
Should you take antibiotics every time you get an infection?
no... no only because the more you take it the more your body becomes immune to it. so after years of taking it nothing will happen. if you have pain from the infection try using some Tylenol because it will take your body longer to get use to Tylenol.
