Nurofen for children

Any malaise and illness of a very young child cause anxiety, and sometimes even panic among parents. After all, treating such a child as yourself can not. So the relatives start to rush about, trying to bring down the temperature of the baby. And then they can come to the rescue Nurofen children, which is designed specifically for young children. It can be used from the age of six months, although sometimes doctors recommend three-month-olds.

Nurofen is a medicinal product, the main component of which is ibuprofen, especially for babies presented in a suspension with the taste of orange. The developers took care of the smallest, and now parents no longer need to persuade their child to open their mouth and drink a spoon for hours, because this taste is always liked by children. The composition of the drug completely lacks dyes, alcohol and sugar.

Nurofen is prescribed for children in cases when the child starts any inflammatory processes, the temperature rises, with otitis, angina, influenza, infectious diseases such as mumps or measles, inflammation in the lymph nodes, etc. It can be given to a child when a tooth is aching or a new one is cut, with bruises, fractures or sprains, migraines. One of the main advantages of the drug is its rapid action: already in 15 minutes after taking it it alleviates the pain or reduces the temperature, keeping its effect for seven hours, which is different from many other medicines containing paracetamol.

Usually, doctors prescribe Nurofen to a child at the rate of 5 or 10 milligrams for each kilogram of the child's weight three or four times a day, however, not more than 30 milligrams. The pediatrician himself calculates the dosage and the scheme by which the baby should take this medicine.

Today, for kids, pharmacies offer a wide variety of antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs that are produced in tablets, capsules, and powders and suspensions, but Nurofen's candles for children, especially for the youngest ones, are most convenient. This form of release of the drug allows you to inject a drug without a whim, because the candles have a smooth surface, and in shape resemble a torpedo, which greatly facilitates their introduction.

Doctors very often at various painful syndromes, such as migraine, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, appoint Nurofen plus pills , the instruction to which categorically forbids to take this drug to pregnant women, but to all other groups of people this medicine helps quite effectively.

Like any other medicine, Nurofen has contraindications. It is not recommended for people who have an increased reaction to ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid, as well as patients with urticaria, bronchial asthma, rhinitis.

If the child has an affected gastrointestinal tract, there are any inflammatory processes in the intestine, renal or hepatic insufficiency, a hearing loss or a diagnosis of hemophilia, then he should not take this medication in any case.

Nurofen for children is not recommended to use more than three days as an antipyretic and more than five - as an analgesic.

During the reception, you should closely monitor the baby's condition, and with the slightest side abnormalities - nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, skin rashes, itching, dizziness, and just a sense of discomfort, you should immediately stop treatment and seek medical attention.

However, in spite of all this, the choice of the medicine to be treated by the baby still remains for the parents, who, after consulting with a specialist, should solve this problem themselves.
