Hi,

Ibugesic-plus is a combination of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen and paracetamol.

It may be given in dose of 6 ml once in every 6hrs. However, the intake of ibuprofen may cause stomach upset, acidity problems and vomiting hence it is not advisable for the symptomatic relief of fever.

I would rather suggest paracetamol in the dose of 15 mg/kg body weight every 4 to 6 hours to reduce the fever. Your son should be thoroughly investigated to rule out chronic infections like tuberculosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
