A 4-year-old British girl suffering from coronavirus-like symptoms grew worse after taking ibuprofen, her family said.
As health experts hotly debate whether the anti-inflammatory medicine should be taken to combat the contagion, Dan Collins of Bristol posted a dire warning on Facebook about his stepdaughter Amelia.
“To those of you that have children please read. If your child has symptoms of corona virus, DO NOT give them ibuprofen,” Collins wrote.

“...four cases of young patients with covid-19 and no underlying health problems who went on to develop serious symptoms after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the early stage of their symptoms.”
It’s ALWAYS stupid to take Ibuprofen for fever — or Acetaminophen as well. LET THE FEVER WORK to kill the virus, or bacteria, unless it exceeds a high level. I used 103 for my kids.
The government is spooked.
When someone gets that spooked, something isnt right.
Either this is a political made crisis, OR this is a manufactured virus by the Red Chinese.
No. That was supposed to be prefaced with “For a 200 pound man”. When I took it when I was sick 14 years ago, I took 24 of them. One dose. The thing I read about it way back when was if it doesn’t fix it do it again. I have never seen it necessary to do it twice. Follow the weight formula a once and you are not harming your liver. Only that mega dose if you are already sick. Otherwise 5000 a day.
The body raises its temperature to fight the virus. If you lower the temp, your body can’t fight as well so you’re sick longer.
And Vitamin C!!!
Why do so many folks dig into every nook and cranny trying to find even outre` conspiracies?
And Zinc and Elderberry!
