Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query
The most appropriate and relatively safe medicineto decrease the fever is paracitamol (crocin/calpol/metacine).
Ibugesic has paracitamol and ibuprofen,and though it will decrease the fever to a greater extent compare to paracitamol but safety margin is compromised as ibuprofen is harsh on our GIT. (stomach and intestines).
Therefore ibugesic plus is not a good option every time the child has fever.
1 or 2 doses of ibugesic plus can be used in a child if a child has high fever (more than 104 degree).
