For mother, there is nothing worse than the time when the children are sick. And, unfortunately, almost every one of them had to face an increased temperature in a child, which many parents cause simply a panic attack. Children are all individual and suffer malaise in different ways: some run and play, while others lie and look at the world with an unhappy look. With any behavior of the baby, doctors recommend giving antipyretics when the temperature rises above 38 ° C. Nowadays, pharmacy shelves are simply packed with various medications, but neurofen for children enjoys the greatest popularity among parents.
Advantages of Nurofen for Children
When buying drugs, we, first of all, focus on the recommendations of specialists, feedback from people who take these drugs, but with special care we approach the choice of medications for their children. And children's nurofen not only proved itself as a reliable and effective drug, but also distinguished itself from a line of similar medicines with a number of undeniable advantages:
- "Triple action" of the medicine: lowers the temperature, anesthetizes and has an anti-inflammatory effect - is provided by the content of ibuprofen in its composition;
- validity period up to 8 hours;
- absence in the composition of sugar and food coloring, which excludes the appearance of caries in the child or allergic reaction;
- several forms of release of the drug, which allows each mother to make their choice according to the individual characteristics of the baby.
Forms of release of nurofen for children
There are 2 forms of release of nurofen for children: syrup (suspension) and suppositories. Which of the types of medicine should be chosen by the mother, based on the characteristics of her child. It is worth noting that the candles are much faster, because they deliver the medicine directly to the intestines, but many babies just do not give them to themselves: they are capricious and dodging. Nurofen suspension is much more pleasant for children: first, it has a pleasant taste (orange or strawberry), and secondly, it has a convenient measuring syringe, which also attracts the attention of small children. Not in favor of the syrup says that it will reach the intestine up to 1.5 hours, this excludes an instant antipyretic effect, as well as various flavors can cause allergy to nurofen in the child.
Dosage and composition
Continuing to describe the advantages of nurofen, I want to say a little about the dosage for children: the drug can be taken without the appointment of a doctor, but no more than 3 days as an antipyretic and not more than 5 as an anesthetic, strictly following the instructions attached to the drug. If the child's malaise has not passed, then you should consult a doctor.
As already mentioned above, nurofen for children has in its composition a very effective component of ibuprofen, which not only has a "triple effect", but also promotes the formation of a protective protein in the baby's body interferon.
New form - tablets
Taking care of the kids, the company "Rekitt Benkizer Helsker International Ltd" has released a new form of its famous medicine - nurofen tablets for children aged 6 years. Older children are no longer very comfortable giving suppositories, and adult medicines contain a large dose of active substances, so the new form of the drug has come, as it is impossible by the way.
If you have any questions: "how much to give nurofen to a child" or @ what form of medicine to choose: antipyretic candles or syrup ", then seek help from a doctor. In fact, despite the good recommendations of Nurofen, as an excellent antipyretic for children, it has contraindications and side effects.
Finally, I want to add: use for your baby only those medicines that you trust, there is nothing more important than the health of our children.
