Rotate them on and off...he can have each one of them every 4 to 6. Start with Tylenol now. Motrin in 2 hours. Tylenol 2 later...
I am not a doctor. But I do play one on td.com
In all seriousness...hope he feels better. Keep the fluids down. Rest.
Tylenol and Motrin should only be given every 6 hours, and only at the appropriate, weight based doses for a child.

Weight based dosing is the appropriate method as well.
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are both cleared from the body through different routes, liver and kidney respectively.
That is why you can alternate them without issue as long as you maintain the 6 hours between each dose.
