    I would like everybody's attention too this statement - "Parents, nurses, pharmacists, and doctors wanting to use medicines to supplement physical measures to maximise the time that children spend without fever should use ibuprofen first and consider the relative benefits and risks of using paracetamol plus ibuprofen over 24 hours." Basically One should administer these drugs in children only and only if their condition is bordering to serious. They stop responding to stimuli and are running high fever for some days. Don't start giving ibuprofen just because you think your child might develop fever.

    Garfield, you are spot on!

    All parents should try physical measures like making their children wear light clothing and make their children drink cool liquids, before giving them medicines!

    It is common sense really, but you will see many who parents who don't!

    hi bikaner u are seen after a loooooooooooooooong time..... what had happened???

    i too agree that prevention is better than cure.... the parents should initially tell their children and make them understand what is good for their health rather than heading towards drugs......
