my son was running a small fever due to teeth coming in. I was alternating motrin and tylenol like my doctor told me to. after a day of meds he starts throwing up. I kept on top of him and took care of him myself thinking that it was just a bug. after several days of alternating tylenol and motrin he is in bad shape you could hear his belly making noises and the meds were not keeping fever down anymore. I rushed him to the ER because he was not acting like himself. He is constantly burping and his belly is tore up. At the ER he has all kinds of blood work and a cat scan done. The cat scan showed a cyst on his kidney. Blood work came back good doctor was baffled. He asked if he had had a bacteria infection which could cause the cyst. I didn’t think he had but now i find out there is bacteria in the tylenol and motrin. I am 10,000 in the hole trying to get my son well. He has to go for another ultra sound on Monday and I guess I will have to take out a loan to pay for it. He was given IV antibiotics in the ER and after stopping the Tylenol and motrin he slowly got better. His belly is still a mess but he is coming around. He and no one elses child deserves to go threw this. I am going to go bankrupt for something that could have been avoided. He also took the benadry. we went threw two bottles of motrin trying to beat the fever. Will this have long term effects. I don’t know what im going to do. I can’t afford this, but i will do what I have to for my child. any info please let me know we are in NEED.

My 6 yr old daughter was taking the tylenol and motrin medications because of a cold/fever. She ended up having pneumonia and was given antibiotics. We used the antibiotics as prescribed. The pneumonia did not go away. Her fever rose to 105.2 degrees which prompted a trip to ER costing us over $1500. The second set of x-rays showed the pheumonia. She ended up having to get two booster shots, saline inhalant, and additional antibiotics because the pneumonia was resistant. Could this have been caused by these medications. I still have the medication bottles.

My 5 year old daughter just started here 6th year molars so we gave her a dose of childrens motrin. The next day she started with a fever at first we thought it was just a bug so we started to ride it out. The next day her fever got even worse 103.3 so we took her to the hospital and the doctor found nothing wrong with her. He took a urine sample on the way out thinking maybe she had a blader infection. On the third day the nuse called us and said that my daughter had a small amount of ecolie ( sorry not checking the spelling) in her urine sample. She told us to start an antibiotic for this and stop using motrin or tylenol. Could this be a contaminated product making my daughtet sicker and sicker as I tried to keep her fever down…? We just stoped the giving here motrin on the third day, as I just found out there was a recall on children’s motrin. Still the fever of 103.8 today, but I hope with her not takeing it she will recover soon…..
