Fever is an unavoidable health condition in young children. To reduce fever in children, Ibuprofen is one of the effective antipyretic drugs. However, families need to pay attention to giving children the right dose of Ibuprofen to avoid unwanted side effects.
1. Give your child a safe Ibuprofen fever reducer
Ibuprofen is an antipyretic drug prescribed by doctors to reduce fever for children in each case. Accordingly, determining the correct dose of Ibuprofen for children is based on weight, not age. If you do not know the baby's weight and the child is too young to stand on the scale, weigh yourself while holding the baby and then weigh it alone. Subtract your total weight from your total weight to get your baby's weight. To ensure the safety of children, when using Ibuprofen you need to pay attention to the following:
Do not give ibuprofen to children under 6 months of age without the approval of a doctor. Shake well before measuring the dose of ibuprofen. Use the measuring device that came with the medicine. If you lose the device, buy a replacement from the pharmacy or use a standard measuring spoon (the kind used for baking), not a regular spoon used for eating. Never give ibuprofen to a child while taking other medicines that also contain ibuprofen unless recommended by your doctor and never give your child more than the recommended dose. Don't confuse ibuprofen drops with syrup. Droplets are much more concentrated. Drops use a syringe to measure while syrup uses a cup to measure. You can repeat the dose every 6 - 8 hours. Do not use more than 4 times in 24 hours.
