Motrin or Tylenol but do them separate times. Like an 1 or 1/2 hour in between. If there is ear ache than I would use Motrin because it takes the swelling down.

Tylenol is best here. Aspirin is contraindicated for treatment in children because of the related occurance of Reye's Syndrome. NSAIDS should also be treated as aspirin.
