Question
Can a baby take Children’s Advil for fever caused by insect bites?
Answer
Insect bites generally do not cause fever. However, if they lead to an infection, fever may occur. The signs of inflammation are redness and swelling. Treatment principles include anti-inflammatory and cooling measures, such as mosquito repellent, cooling oil, and other medications. Ibuprofen solution can also be used to relieve fever. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy and heat-inducing foods.
