YES.
The answer to that question is yes. You may give a child not younger than 2 months old, the two medications at one time. The doses are stuttered by 3 hours so as to maximize the peak concentration of each medication in the blood. Note that you must be hydrating your child during this period. The current recommendations are to use Tylenol first if the fever is low grade, less than 38.0 centigrade, temperatures above that, your child may benefit from dual medicine regimen. Do take proper rectal temperatures and make a log of the times, temperatures and doses given. It is vital to be precise in the quantity, or dose of the medication given. If you are not familiar then simply call you pharmacist and they will gladly let you know the correct doses, which are based on weight of the child. If the child is less than two months old, proceed directly to the doctors office, do not attempt to console the infant at home. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, proceed to the doctors office. If their are additional signs and symptoms, such as excessive vomit, diarrhea, wazing and waning of the temp, seizure, depressing of the soft part of the head, extreme lethargy, poor to no feeding/ liquid intake, painful ear or pulling of the ear eliciting pain, swollen joints, swollen lymph nodes these are markers for one to seek medical advice from a doctor to have everything documented. Fever in children is common and the normal course of fever is 2-3 days. Hydration is a key factor in the elimination of fever. The medications help in terms of analgesia, and have anti-pyretic ( meaning anti-heat producing) capabilities and that is why the child feels cooler and the temperature subsides. Remember though that the body is usually fighting off a viral infection so when the medications are eliminated from the child's body, the fever usually returns. This is where a dual regimen can be effective.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is part of the class of drugs known as analine analgesics, while Advil (Ibuprohpen) is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
It is unsafe to take more than one NSAID at a time, but it is safe to mix an analine analgesic with an NSAID.

Nothing - dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of Tylenol and you could kill your dog with it. The same is true for adult Tylenol in a pill form, aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, and all other human over-the-counter pain medications. If you think your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should talk to your veterinarian. There are safe daily pain medications for dogs, but you have to get a veterinary prescription to get them.

Can you give your 70 lb collie one half of an Advil tablet?
No but you can give them a childrens aspirin or half of an adult aspirinAnswerThe best thing to do is ask your vet. I have been breeding and raising dogs for my whole life. I have never instructed as a vet tech for the Army, or had my vet instruct me to give my dog something as strong as Advil. At the most I have given a baby aspirin, 1, or even a half of one, depending on the size of my dog. But then again, only on the instructions of my vet. You should do the same. You don't want to poison your pet.
