Usually, ibuprofen is only recommended for children with a fever of 38.5°C or more.
Ibuprofen can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic and analgesic effects. Clinically, it is usually used to treat all kinds of pain, fever, arthritis and so on. However, it should be noted that ibuprofen is a prescription drug and needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Due to the low immunity of children, they are easily infected by various pathogenic bacteria, and then the symptoms of fever. If a child’s temperature is below 38.5℃, parents can first help the child to cool down by physical means, such as wiping the body with a warm towel or applying antipyretic patches on the forehead.
If physical cooling is not effective, and the child’s temperature continues to rise, reaching 38.5 ℃ or higher, you can follow the doctor’s advice to take ibuprofen to achieve the purpose of fever reduction, and recommend that the child take the child to the hospital in a timely manner.
