Four-year-old Amelia Milner from the UK suffered from symptoms of coronavirus. High fever and coughing forced her parents to give the girl ibuprofen. However, instead of the planned help, they only provoked a rapid deterioration. It was written about by a British daily newspaper. Amelia had been suffering from fever and coughing for several days, and her parents decided to eliminate her symptoms with ibuprofen due to the lack of paracetamol in her home medicine cabinet. Instead of relief, the girl’s health deteriorated within an hour. “She started trembling, her heart was pounding and her temperature rose to 39.4 degrees,” said Amelia’s stepfather, Dan Collins. However, the fact that the girl was infected with coronavirus is not 100% because it was not tested at that time. Collins shared the story on social networks to warn other parents who would like to give ibuprofen to children with symptoms of Covid-19. “We called the emergency services and told them what had happened and they said they would send the health workers within two hours. The paramedics were able to lower the fever on arrival and warned us not to give her ibuprofen anymore and not to react if the fever rises again,” Collins said. Amelia remains in her home isolation, her condition has improved since the beginning of her illness, but her symptoms persist after a week of illness. “Until we’re checked, we can’t be absolutely sure she’s infected with coronavirus,” Amelie’s mother added. The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has stopped recommending people to use ibuprofen when there are signs of new coronavirus. People should use paracetamol to lower their temperature. The choice of cold remedy is very individual. Ibuprofen is contraindicated for many patients, such as ulcers or those suffering from diseases associated with poor blood clotting. There are also contraindications for paracetamol use (in patients with liver problems, cirrhosis, alcoholics, etc.). Other contraindications are preparations containing acetylsalicylic acid or diclofenac. It’s important to simply follow your doctor instructions, the Coronavirus worldwide and country specific live stats, and the recommendations of the World Health Organisation.
