Pain Relievers and Fever Reducers

When children experience pain or fever, medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) are commonly recommended. These medications help reduce fever,relive mild pain, and make children more comfortable while they recover from illnesses. 

Follow the recommended dosage based on the child's weight and age. DO NOT GIVE children aspirin, as it can cause serious complications like Reye's Syndrome, a rare but serious condition that can affect the liver and brain. 

Some common pain relievers and fever reducers include:

• Acetaminophen (Tylenol): Often recommended for mild pain and fever relief.

• Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin): Another option for pain and fever, ibuprofen also works as an anti-inflammatory, making it effective for treating swelling or inflammation. 

These medications are usually given in liquid form for younger children, making them easier to swallow.
