Nurofen For Children Strawberry 3 Months To 12 Years (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen acts as an analgesic and antipyretic in the paediatric population, addressing several common childhood conditions.

• Fever: Helps lower elevated body temperature in children.
• Headache: Relieves mild to moderate headache pain.
• Dental pain: Alleviates discomfort associated with teething or dental procedures.
• Musculoskeletal pain: Reduces pain from minor sprains, strains or bruises.
• Inflammatory discomfort: Eases mild inflammation‑related discomfort such as that from minor injuries.

• Ibuprofen inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate pain, fever and inflammation. By limiting prostaglandin production at sites of tissue injury, it provides analgesic and antipyretic effects without directly acting on the central nervous system.

Adverse reactions to ibuprofen in children are generally mild and dose‑related, but serious events can occur.
