The recommended dose of ibuprofen for a child weighing 36 to 47 pounds may vary between different brands even if they have the same concentration of 100mg/5ml. This is because the dosage calculation for medications can vary depending on the severity of the issue. For example, the dose of ibuprofen can vary between 5 mg/kg/dose and 10 mg/kg/dose, to be given every 8 hours, depending on the intensity of the fever or pain. It is important to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and consult a healthcare professional if the fever persists. Additionally, make sure to keep the child well hydrated as fever can lead to dehydration in young children.
