Can a one year old take ibuprofen granules?

Ibuprofen is a relatively common and effective antipyretic drug with a wide range of uses in daily life. Its side effects mainly include stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and other adverse gastrointestinal reactions. For a one-year-old baby, if the baby's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take medicine. You can drink more water or take a warm water bath to cool down. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, a one-year-old baby can take ibuprofen granules, but be careful to follow the dosage for one-year-old children and do not exceed this dosage.

1. The normal body temperature of a baby is generally 36-37℃, but each baby's basal body temperature is different. This is related to the baby's own metabolism. Some babies have a higher basal body temperature, while others have a lower one. There is no need to use antipyretic drugs for children with a body temperature of 38 degrees. If the child is not very good at drinking water, the child needs to be given a warm water bath to physically cool down the body, or a cooling patch can be used externally.

2. Generally speaking, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, give the child antipyretic drugs. In this case, the child has a fever, indicating an inflammatory reaction. The child needs to be taken to the hospital for a routine blood test and inflammatory indicators to see what kind of infection it is, whether it is bacteria, virus, or other. Active anti-infection treatment should be given. For bacterial infections, cephalosporins can be selected, and for viral infections, antiviral drugs can be considered. Active physical cooling is needed if fever occurs. If the body temperature is greater than 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic drugs should be given as appropriate to avoid high fever convulsions.

3. If the body temperature is too high, you can take antipyretics such as motrin or naproxen orally to prevent high fever convulsions. Physical cooling can also be performed. You can go to the hospital for testing to find out if you have any infection. If your child has indigestion, you can use digestive aids in combination with the medication. Feed more boiled water and observe the changes in spirit.

Many mothers believe that "all medicines are poisonous and antipyretics have side effects", so when their babies have a fever, they insist on not using antipyretics for their babies and only use physical methods to reduce the fever. This practice is very dangerous. If the baby continues to have a high fever, he may have a febrile convulsion. And antipyretic drugs are not that scary.
