With the modern variety of antipyretic drugs for children, we often use the same proven means: wiping with water, vinegar, alcohol, paracetamol. And at the same time, the situation is very different. Sometimes it is required to quickly knock off the heat, and then more powerful remedies, consisting of several antipyretic components, such as, for example, analgin with dimedrol or ibuklin (paracetamol with ibuprofen), come to the rescue.

Ibuklin for children - a pill that has both antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. This medicine is prescribed to children most often as an auxiliary and antipyretic in acute inflammatory processes of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tracheitis, etc.).
