Question
After taking two doses of ibuprofen suspension for a fever, the child experienced swelling of the lips and ears last night, around 8 pm and 2 am. What could be the reason?
Answer
Ibuprofen suspension is primarily used for fever reduction and is suitable for fevers caused by various reasons. The swelling of the child’s lips and ears is not related to the medication, so it is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician for a follow-up consultation promptly. The cause of the fever should be identified, and active symptomatic treatment should be administered. I hope my explanation is helpful.
