Which is a safer fever-reducing medicine for infants and children

There are two main fever-reducing drugs for infants and children: 1. acetaminophen is a relatively safe fever-reducing drug, no gastrointestinal irritation, does not affect platelet function, no nephrotoxicity, but excessive doses can cause hepatotoxicity, is the preferred fever-reducing drug for infants and children over 2 months of age. 2. ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, with obvious antipyretic and analgesic effects, with fewer side effects and safer. It is usually suitable for infants and children over 6 months of age, but it should be noted that children with fever not exceeding 38.5°C should not take fever-reducing drugs first, mainly for physical cooling, and fever-reducing drugs should not be taken at the same time as aspirin, compound aminopyrine, anacin and other drugs, which have greater side effects and are not recommended.
