Is it ok to give my 3 year old his Amoxicillin dose and his Tylenol dose literally at the same time? Or should I put a little time between them?

What can I do next?

Yes. One is a antibiotic and doesn't contain acetaminaphon. Its just fine to dose one after the other. Hope he feels better!

I think you are supposed to space them out 2-3 hrs apart. I am not sure though. My kiddies are a little older now.

I thought you meant motrin and tylenol. I think you can give antibiotics and tylenol at the same time. Forgive me, i need sleep :)

There are "drug interaction checkers" on the internet where you can go check.

I think you are fine, but would still check. Have your child eat something substantial before giving the doses to be sure no tummy trouble.

I agree that you can give them both at the same time. However, I'd ask the pharmacist to be sure.
