What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Cough Post Ibuprofen Intake?
There s a very slim chance that my one year old may have swallowed an iboprufen capsule around 12 hours ago. She s been fine all day but has been up with shortness of breath, a temperature and a cough. Is this coincidental with her actually being unwell or is this a result of her taking the tablet and now I need to get her to hospital? Many thanks

Hello. I just read through your question.
Ibuprofin lasts in the body for approximately 6 hours. It is therefore very unlikely that by hen shortness of breath is relates to the ibuprofin. It is more likely due to the illness. No need to go to the ER, but I do recommend consulting with your doctor.
