What kinds of medications are available to reduce fever in children

Pediatric fever-reducing medications are commonly used, including ibuprofen and acetaminophen, both of which are available as oral granules, suspensions, and suppositories for intra-anal use. Fever is more common in children, and when the fever is high, usually when the axillary temperature is greater than 38.5 degrees, you can consider applying antipyretic drugs to reduce fever. Some of the more common antipyretics are ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Both of these medications are available in different dosage forms, such as granules, suspensions, and suppositories for intra-anal use. Ibuprofen is generally appropriate for children over 6 months of age. Common adverse effects include hypothermia and gastrointestinal symptoms, etc. It needs to be contraindicated if there is a significant allergic reaction or severe liver or kidney function abnormalities. If you need to use the drug for your child, you should go to the hospital, so that the doctor can give the appropriate fever-reducing medication according to the child’s specific situation. At the same time, you also need to identify the cause of the fever to facilitate effective treatment.
