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.
