gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforations which includes signs
like passing blood in feces, blood vomiting, dark particles that look
like ground coffee in vomits, severe stomach pain and indigestion.
- To minimize these risks, it is advisable to take the medication with food or milk to protect the stomach lining.

How To Manage Side Effects
Stomach Pain
To manage stomach pain or discomfort caused by Brufen Junior Oral Suspension, the following recommendations may be beneficial:
- Give the medication with food:
Ensure the ibuprofen is taken with a meal or a snack, as this helps
protect the stomach lining. For younger kids, even a small amount of
milk or a cracker can help. - Use plenty of water: Encourage your child to drink a glass of water after taking the medication, as this helps reduce stomach irritation.
- Switch to a liquid antacid: If stomach pain persists, you can give a child-safe liquid antacid after consulting a doctor to neutralize stomach acid.
- Offer a soothing diet: Provide bland, easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet), which are gentle on the stomach.
- Consider an alternative:
If ibuprofen consistently causes stomach discomfort, consult your
pediatrician about switching to acetaminophen (paracetamol) for pain or
fever relief. - Monitor for warning signs: If
your child experiences severe pain, vomiting, or blood in the stool,
seek immediate medical attention as these may indicate a more serious
issue like gastric irritation or ulcers.
