My son is 4 years 10 months old. Whenever he gets an usual fever we always give ibugesic plus instead of paracetamol. Is it ok. Ibugesic plus was once given prescribed by a pediatrician to my son when he has fever earlier. I have observed many times that if I give only paracetamol the fever will not reduce but when I give ibugesic plus his fever reduces. Is it ok to give ibugesic plus. Please suggest.

Yes, it is okay to give ibugesic plus. As it contains both ibuprofen and paracetamol. To get the best result of medicine, adhere to the prescribed dose, time, and way while giving this medicine to your child. Give it to your child orally, preferably after meals as this will prevent the chance of developing an upset stomach. If your child vomits within 30 minutes taking, give the same dose again. Never give more than the recommended dose for fast relief as that may cause unwanted effects in your child. Your child may exhibit side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea after taking this medicine. These side effects are temporary and should subside once your child?s body adapts to the medicine. In case they persist or become bothersome for your child, do consult your child?s doctor on a priority basis. Ibugesic plus oral suspension orange helps lower high temperature caused by fever. This medicine is effective in treating cold and flu symptoms, sore throat, and fever. Do not take too much or for longer than you need as this can be dangerous.
