Hi, thanks for your query on Healthcare Magic.

I understand your concern.
Yes, you can use it as an SOS medicine for your son to ease the high temperature and pain, but you have to be aware, because this medicine may irritate the gastric mucosa.

Suggest your son to sallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it and take it with food.

Inform your doctor if your son have ever been diagnosed with kidney or liver problems.

All the best,
dr. Nurul.
