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.
With that said, you may consider taking Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is available OTC in a strength of 200 mg. Prescription strengths of Ibuprofen are available in 400 mg., 600 mg., and 800 mg. Therefore you could buy OTC Ibuprofen and take up to 4 pills to provide you with the maximum 800 mg. strength.
