Al-Marsad newspaper: The family doctor, Dr. Saud Al-Shehri, revealed the correct way to reduce the temperature of children.
Al-Shehri said, via a video he posted on Twitter: “The best analgesic for children is Paracetamol, such as Vivadol, Adol, Primadol, and these things.”
He added: “The child does not need to eat a meal before it, and if it is hot, we give him of these types, and the most important thing is not to have second additions, and always go to companies whose ingredients contain only paracetamol.”
He continued, “The dose for children is from 10 to 15 mg of analgesic per kilo, and the weight of the child is divided by 2, if he weighs 10 kg, we give him 5 ml.”
And he continued: “If the child is a year old, 10 or 11 months old, we give him a full “ml” withdrawal, and the treatment is given 4 times a day, that is, every 8, 6 or 4 hours.”
And he continued: “If the sedative does not work, compresses are made for the child with a warm shower and diluted until it becomes cold.”
He pointed out that the child is given Brufen in the event that there is no response to paracetamol, commenting: “We give him every 4 hours, with paracetamol and compresses.”
He concluded his speech: “If there is no result, the child is taken to the health center and given an intravenous sedative, and ibuprofen is not given to children suffering from asthma.”
Pray for the mothers, may God bless you
