Reviews of Cefekon D

On numerous Internet forums discussing drugs for children, reviews about the candles Cefekon confirm the high effectiveness of the drug. Cefekon D is especially indispensable in cases when the child categorically refuses to take antipyretic and analgesic drugs in the form of a drink (syrups) or tablets or the baby begins vomiting after taking the syrup.
Some parents, given the child's temperature, give him an antibiotic that can not be done without consulting a doctor. Do not forget that the temperature is a protective reaction of the body and in moderate limits it does not need to be reduced. Do wet wiping the child, give plenty of drink.
Antipyretic candles Cefekon for children is the best option, but we should not forget that children's candles can not be taken from the temperature for more than 3-5 days. In addition, the drug is not expensive. The information from the forums confirms that candles for children, whose composition contains paracetamol, are quite popular among parents. Often the forums ask "how many candles Cefekon D?". Typically, the effect appears after 15-20 minutes and lasts up to five hours.
Some parents are faced with the choice of "what is better: Cefekon or Nurofen?" And can Cefekon and Nurofen give the baby at the same time? These two drugs have different active substances (paracetamol and ibuprofen). Here everything is individual. In some cases, Cefekon is more effective, in others - Nurofen. To give concomitantly Cefekons Nurofen is not recommended. If the temperature rises between the reception, for example, of Nurofen, reduce by wiping. However, if your child takes Cefekon for five days and the temperature does not drop, then it is necessary to replace Cefekon with another drug. But you can not give a child one drug, between the methods of another.
Sometimes parents use to reduce the temperature of a child's candles for adults. This can not be done, since most parents can not correctly calculate the dose for the child. It is better to use a drug intended for children.
