With the new changes in kid's medicines, it's hard to keep up, and now what works best for your child when they have a fever, or are sick. So I was happy to recently be sent a bottle of Children's Advil to review!
Children?s Advil is the #1 Selling Children?s Fever Brand. So you can?confident knowing that Children?s Advil?is both safe and effective when used as directed.?Nothing reduces a fever faster, or keeps it down longer than Children?s Advil. In fact, they say that it works for EIGHT hours! When you have a sick kid, that's important!
Do you know what a fever is??
There are certain chemicals in the brain, which cause your body temperature to increase, aka a fever. Ibuprofen helps reduce the production of these chemicals, which in turn lowers the body temperature, and in turn reduces a fever. It works by blocking certain chemicals, that are produced in response to injury, certain diseases and conditions, that can cause aches and pains. NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) block the production of these chemicals and are therefore effective at reducing pain, making your child feel more comfortable.
Did you know that Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are the only two active ingredients used in children's over-the-counter pain relievers/fever reducers? Seriously- go check out the labels, and you'll see it's true! Ibuprofen (the active ingredient in Children's Advil lasts longer than acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Children's Tylenol). In fact, Ibuprofen lasts up to 8 hours, while acetaminophen only lasts 4 - 6 hours, making it more highly recommended by doctors!
From a personal standpoint, I can attest to the difference. The last time Kiddo was sick we followed the doctor's recommendation of alternating the two, and we found?acetaminophen?pretty much leveled off at 4 hours, where as the Ibuprofren lasted for about 6-7 hours. When your child is trying to sleep, and ill, that's a HUGE difference!
It is important to remember: always read and keep the cartons for complete warnings and information on ACCURATE dosing for all Advil products. For Kiddo, for instance she went from 1 tbsp, to 1.5 tbsp, with the new dosing amounts. So make sure you check the new levels! ?The?Infants? Advil Concentrated Drops are for ages 6-23 months, where as the?
Children?s Advil Suspension Liquid are for ages 2-11 years.
Kiddo actually LIKED the new Children's Advil! She is SO picky on medicine flavoring (seriously, we went through THREE flavorings on the antibiotics on her ear infection, before we could get them down her!). So I was happy that she did not turn up her nose at it. In fact, it's her preferred medicine now! While she was happy with the taste, I was happy with how well her fever went down.
So if you are looking for a great fever reduce for your child, consider Children's Advil. And as a thank you, here's a link for a Children's Advil $1 off coupon!?
