I need a nurses advice Asap

[Anonymous]

I dont waste ER time for minor illness. So dont suggest it. 

But we cant get into see the doctor until tomorrow. and of course payday is tomorrow and we are out of motrin, with no money to get some more lol. 

but i DO have sudafed 12 hour. 

DD  is 9. and has a horrible sinus congestion. she now has a headache. like i said we have no motrin left, and i can go get more tomorrow morning on payday

but i DO have some sudafed. its 120mgs per tablet. 


she is 75lbs. 

would she be allowed to take one, or half of one (or even a quarter of one, to get down to 30mgs)

 to help her sleep tonight? last night she was up almost ALL night because she couldn't breath and her head hurt from the pressure :( 

I know they make sudafed for children. but i dont know the MG dosage for her weight.
