Question
Can a baby around one year old take naproxen tablets to reduce fever, and what precautions should be taken?
Answer
When giving naproxen tablets to a baby for fever reduction, it is crucial to ensure the temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius, and for very young babies, only one tablet should be taken at a time, and no more than once a day. If the fever reduction is ineffective, the child should be taken to the hospital immediately, as naproxen is only effective for reducing fever, and the cause of the fever needs to be diagnosed by a doctor.
