Children and infants can usually take ibuprofen every six to eight hours but should not have more than four doses in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor. If you are unsure about how much ibuprofen to give a child, consult a doctor who will determine the dosage based on the childâs weight.
A: Taking 800 mg three times a day of ibuprofen is okay for a short period of time, a month or two, or even longer if under supervision of a physician. The only issue is if there is a history of heart disease, the patient should not take it over six weeks.
