Children’s drugs are also not suitable for adults.Kang Zhen said, "For example, children, Merrillin, this medicine child drinks a few milliliters at a time, but these doses are not enough for adults."
If fever and other symptoms occur, and there is no reserved antipyretic medicine at home, what should I do?Kang Zhen said that in addition to ibuprofen and antipyretic analgesic drugs such as acetaminol, you can also choose a compound cold medicine containing acetaminophen composition. The general dose is between 200 mg and 325 mgAnti -fever effect.
"If the child has a fever and the parents are not sure, they can go to the regular pharmacy to consult the pharmacist. The pharmacists can give everyone professional advice in this regard." Kang Zhen said.
