Nurofen For Children Cold, Pain, Fever Strawberry Flavour - Effective Children's Ibuprofen Relief

This strawberry-flavoured oral suspension provides targeted relief for your child's pain and fever symptoms. The liquid formulation makes it easier for children to take compared to tablets, whilst the pleasant taste helps ensure compliance with dosing schedules.

Each 5ml contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that belongs to the propionic acid group. This medicine is specifically formulated for children and provides effective symptom management for various childhood ailments including cold symptoms, headaches, and general discomfort.

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Fever

Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, this medicine helps lower your child's temperature and provides relief from discomfort.

The anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce swelling and inflammation that may accompany injuries or infections. This dual action makes it particularly effective for treating symptoms associated with colds, minor injuries, and general childhood ailments. You can find additional children's ibuprofen options and other treatments in our comprehensive pain relief collection.

Suitable for Children Aged 3 Months and Over

This medicine is suitable for children from 3 months of age, provided they weigh at least 5kg. It's particularly useful for parents managing various childhood conditions that cause pain or fever.

The liquid formulation is ideal for children who cannot yet swallow tablets or capsules. Common uses include:

Reducing fever associated with colds and flu
Relieving headaches and general aches
Managing pain from minor injuries or bumps
Providing comfort during teething in older infants

Sugar-Free Formula with Pleasant Strawberry Taste

The sugar-free formulation helps protect your child's dental health whilst still providing a palatable strawberry flavour that children find acceptable. This reduces the struggle often associated with giving medicine to young patients.

The 100ml bottle provides multiple doses and includes a measuring syringe to ensure accurate dosing. The liquid remains stable when stored correctly and maintains its effectiveness throughout the shelf life when kept in appropriate conditions.

Storage Requirements and Shelf Life Considerations

Store this medicine in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep it out of reach and sight of children. Do not use after the expiry date shown on the packaging, and once opened, use within the timeframe specified on the label.

Always check the medicine before giving it to your child. Do not use if the liquid appears cloudy, contains particles, or if the bottle appears damaged. Shake the bottle gently before each use to ensure the medicine is properly mixed.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Proper Dosage Guidelines for Children

Always follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging or as directed by your healthcare professional. The dose depends on your child's age and weight, and you should never exceed the recommended amount or frequency of administration.

Use the measuring syringe provided to ensure accurate dosing. Give the medicine directly into your child's mouth, or you can mix it with a small amount of milk or fruit juice if preferred. Always shake the bottle gently before measuring each dose.

When and How to Administer the Medicine

You can give this medicine with or without food, though taking it with food may help reduce the chance of stomach upset in sensitive children. Space doses evenly throughout the day as directed on the packaging, and do not give more frequently than recommended.

If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the dose, you may give the same dose again. However, if vomiting continues, stop giving the medicine and consult your pharmacist or doctor. Keep a record of when you give each dose to avoid accidental overdosing.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Nurofen For Children Cold, Pain, Fever Strawberry Flavour can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

If you're managing multiple symptoms, our cold and flu collection offers additional supportive treatments.

The most commonly reported side effects include stomach upset, nausea, and occasionally skin reactions. These effects are generally mild and resolve once the medicine is stopped.

Stomach pain or discomfort
Nausea or vomiting
