When Ibuprofen is given for fever to children 6 months of age up to 2 years, the usual dose is 5 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight when the fever is under 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. How much medicine would be usual dose for a 18 month old weighing 24 pounds?

24/2.2046=10.89 Kg-the weight of 18 months old child.

5 X 10.89 =54.45 milligrams of medicine for the 18 month old child.
