My 9 month old baby has an ear infection in each ear, but he is also teething, can I give him Advil/Tylenol at the same time as his antibiotic?

Good morning ma'am,

Yes, no problem. This combination of medication is even desired when the pain of the ear infection is too much (considering that the antibiotic usually takes a few days to take full effect).

Good day, and Happy New Year,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
