Motrin the miracle drug

I'm back at work today and Austin is at home taking care of Naomi. We decided to keep her home again today since she was uber fussy and refused to let us put her down and still isnt eating. When I spoke to Austin this morning I could hear Naomi screaming and crying in the background. She refused to eat anythign except for one dried mango and a little bit of her milk. 3 hours later, Austin called me back and I could hear Naomi laughing and chatting in the background. The difference between 7am and now? MOTRIN. We've been giving her motrin for the pain in her ear, but were trying not to give her too much since my brother said long term use could be potentially damaging to the kidneys..or wait..was it the liver? Anyway, she really needed it today, and it totally has made a difference. I almost wish I wasn't allergic to the stuff myself!

Hahahaha.... Motrin is a great drug. As long as you are using it for good reason and not for months it should be alright to use the Motrin.

To anonymous, aspirin and motrin are similar drugs. Only thing is that unless prescibed I wouldn't recommend using aspirin in children since it has been associated with Reye's Syndrome.
