I gave my son the recommended dose of children's Motrin which is two and a half tablets. I gave this to him after dinner so he didn't take them on an empty stomach, know a few hours later he is complaining of being dizzy. Has any one else given their child Motrin and had this effect from it. He is ten and the bottle said to give him two and a half tablets.
He cut open his finger earlier today and about fainted when he saw what it looked like and he got really sick from the sight of it he is not one for blood or needles. Could his dizzyness also be from the docs numbing his finger and the numbing wearing off? He isn't complaning of any pain.
I am new to this he has gone ten years with out getting seriously hurt.

this is a normal side effect of motrin, nothing to worry about. he can still take the next dose if the dizziness is less bothersome than the pain and swelling. just have him switch positions slowly. however, call your health care provider immediately if your child develops any ringing in the ears or blurred vision.
