Title: Updates on the Safe and Effective Use of Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is a safe and effective anti-inflammatory drug to relieve pain and fever in children. Evidence has shown that as an oral analgesic, together with other NSAIDs, it is more effective than opioid in reducing dental pain. It is therefore recommended as first line therapy for acute pain management.
