What Experts Say

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug that blocks cyclooxygenase enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins throughout the body. Prostaglandins drive pain signals, fever and local swelling, so reducing their levels brings relief on all three fronts at the same time.

In children, ibuprofen suspension is dosed by body weight rather than age alone, since accurate dosing matters more with a growing child. Parents should always use the measuring device that comes with the bottle rather than an average kitchen spoon, which can lead to inaccurate dosing.

Ibuprofen should be given with food or milk to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and it is generally avoided in infants under three months without medical advice. Combining ibuprofen with paracetamol on a rotating schedule is sometimes used for stubborn childhood fevers, but this should only be done under a doctor's specific guidance and timing instructions.
