Antipyretic drugs for children

I do agree with the authors regarding the weakness in the studies
they looked at. I was interested in the duration of action ( antipyretic
time ) of either paracetamol or brufen. I would like to share a personal
experience which could be an idea for further research. I wonder if using
paracetamol and brufen at alternative time could lead to better control of
child's pyrexia. From my experience as a parent,it does work. My son,who
is now 12 years old,used to suffer from pyrexia very often in the fist 2
years of his life including one episode of febrile convulsion .His GP
advice was to alternate paracetamol with brufen every three hours and it
did work. Needless to say that was before we came to UK
