Is Ibugesic Plus safe for kids
My 21 month old son had 100 fever. His pediatrician in past prescribed Ibugesic plus syrup 5ml upto 3 times a day in case of fever. I had given the dose and the temperature came down but I want to double check if Ibugesic plus is safe for children. Because it is analgeic with ibuprofen which combiflam also has and doctors generally suggest to avoid combiflam. Please guide. Thanks

Good morning. I m so glad that u are aware about all this. Yes avoid ibugesic plus unless absolutely indicated by docs . They have the tendency to cause bleeding tendency among this age group. If the fever doesn’t come down inspite of max 4 dose of paracetamol per day, then try giving him syp meftal p two doses in the middle.
Next Steps
Kindly give feedback if u found this helpful and consult if U need any further advise . All the best .
