Ohh, I'm sorry your kids are going through this, too. But thanks for the feedback. I agree that I want to do the medications sparingly, but I've never seen him this uncomfortable. I think I'll try the ibuprofen on a full stomach and see if it helps. Herbal/natural products make me a little nervous because they aren't FDA regulated. (Of course, I'm feeling a little jaded about the FDA these days, too . . .)
Fran - I don't think my son has EVER slept 13 hours at a stretch!!
