What Experts Say

Ibuprofen works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation throughout the body and joints.

Pediatricians in Pakistan commonly recommend ibuprofen suspension for children with fever accompanying common infections, often alongside or as an alternative to paracetamol, since the two work through different mechanisms and can sometimes be alternated under medical advice. Weight based dosing is essential, since giving a dose meant for an older child to a younger or lighter child raises the risk of side effects considerably and offers no faster relief.

Doctors generally advise giving ibuprofen with food or milk to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and to avoid it in children who are significantly dehydrated, since NSAIDs can affect kidney function in that setting more than usual. Parents are also reminded to always use the syringe supplied with the bottle rather than an ordinary kitchen spoon.
