I agree. According to our Ped, it's better to alternate Tylenol and Motrin rather than give another dose of one or the other sooner than indicated on the box (one's every four and the other every six, I forget which). They can even be given at the same time because they are completely different types of medication and work in different ways (the same is not true for other adult pain relievers - aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, etc are all in the same family, and so should not be taken together, although can be taken with Tylenol).
We found the cool rings helped some, but only a little or only when the pain was minimal. The baltspawn also like chewing on washcloths, either dry or cool and wet.
