  • Works fast to control the pain as quickly as possible.
  • Has proven tolerability in children.
  • Added benefits can include reducing fever and inflammation.
  • An oral suspension is the most common way to dose your child; however if they are vomiting or will not take an oral suspension, suppositories are an ideal format to use.

Managing childhood fever and pain

The Comfort Cycle Study
  • Parental distress has been shown to have a huge effect on a child’s ability to deal with their pain.
  • Knowledgeable parents remain calm, increasing the child’s comfort and thereby encouraging recovery.
  • A recent study has shown that a parent’s comfort level increases when they treat a child with a product that they trust, like Nurofen for Children.
Take additional steps to comfort your child by:
  • Giving them reassurance and holding them if they are in pain.
  • Distracting them from pain by playing music or reading stories.

When to seek medical advice:

Remember you know your baby/child best, so if you think your baby is unwell, or if you are worried in any way, always speak to your doctor.
