    Hi Vandana

    Tylenol is the brand name used in US for paracetamol (chemical name - acetaminophen) tablets, the same thing is known as Panadol in Dubai. You get various varieties of Panadol - normal, strong, extend and for kids separately. Check with your pharmacist for the one that would suit your kid best.

    Motrin is the brand name for Ibuprofen, there are various brand names in Dubai for that, just ask the pharmacist for any mild Ibuprofen tablet you can use for your daughter.

    Thanks Pretty Guns for the reply.
    Though we say it is just Ibuprofen,It is the composition % that makes different brands.
    Even for us some of us ,some gets better with Paracetamol tablets and some gets better with Crocin..Like wise my daughter reacts quicker to Motrin and tylenol.Moreover these come in different flavours and the chances of kids vomiting is less.hence i am looking for the Named medicine.
