Children with recurrent fever do not always use fever-reducing drugs, need to be spaced out for a certain period of time before they can be used again, if the interval is too short there may be toxic side effects.
Commonly used antipyretics for children include ibuprofen suspension drops and acetaminophen tablets.
1. Ibuprofen Drops: It needs to be reused at intervals of 6 to 8 hours and no more than 4 times per 24 hours. If used in excessive doses, it can cause damage to children’s gastrointestinal mucosa, liver and kidney function.
2. Acetaminophen: can be repeated at intervals of 4~6 hours and not more than 4 times in 24 hours. Overdose can cause serious liver damage in children, and repeated use requires testing of liver biochemical indicators.
Specific drugs require different intervals, under the guidance of a doctor to strictly control the interval between the use of time, and do not use the same composition of other drugs during the interval. If the child is not effective in reducing fever, you can use warm water to wipe the body, ice packs and other physical cooling, and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
