Ibuprofen is usually dosed at a level of 10 mg per kg per dose. Typically a good approach would be to start with the package label instructions:

Medication dosing in children is weight based. Talk to your pediatrician
If you have ibuprofen 100/5 and if the child weighs 40 lb or above you can give 2 tsp every 6 hours as needed
