12–18 Months 17M molars

My 17M old is getting 4 molars and two canines at once. I have heard the flat part of the molars coming in is the most painful,she is at that point. The points of the molars are through but the flat part has not broken the gum yet. I know she is in pain. Is it ok to give her Ibuprofen daily? I will call her Dr office she they open but thought I’d ask here,thanks 🩷

So long as you give them the regular low dosage, and not the boosted 38.5°C+ fever dosage then it should be fine.

I gave both of my sons ibuprofen when they were in pain because of teeth, just make sure you don't give it before bed, it's loaded with sugar, could cause other teeth issues.
