Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so it carries the possibility of causing some serious risks and side effects in adults, thus I wouldn't advise giving it to a child, unless a medical professional specifically instructs you to do so.

Learn more Naproxen details here.

There are medications available over the counter for children and they are in dosages that are considered safe to use in healthy children. One of the most common is Acetaminophen.

What is causing your child's pain?
