A parent in England is sounding the alarm and warning others not to give their children ibuprofen for any reason if they have a fever and are suspected of having symptoms of the fearsome coronavirus, the pandemic of which is ravaging the world.

Dan Miller, a resident of South Gloucestershire, Great Britain, recounted the drama his young family has experienced when the health of his stepdaughter Amelia Milner, just four years old, worsened after she was given the medication to try to reduce fever I had.

"For all those who have children, please read. If your child has symptoms of coronavirus, DO NOT give him ibuprofen," Miller exclaimed in his message posted on Facebook this Sunday. "Amelia had been feeling ill since Tuesday, with fever, cough, cold. This morning she came to our room and went to bed burning [with fever] and not wanting to get up."

"Within an hour of taking [ibuprofen] his health dropped dramatically. He gasped and tried to breathe, but his heart raced very quickly, he couldn't keep his eyes open, he couldn't lift his head, his His body was shaking and he began to get sicker and his temperature rose, "continued the troubled father.

"[They] sent us an emergency ambulance, one of the paramedics managed to lower his temperature and vital signs, they are still higher than normal but they are no longer dangerous," Collins said.

Fortunately, the minor has stabilized and although she is still ill, she is no longer in danger. "Now she is taking [acetaminophen] again and has become herself again, poor thing," the Briton explained in his message. "The paramedics only told us when they were here that we shouldn't give ibuprofen."

According to The Guardian newspaper, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, can worsen the patient's condition with symptoms similar to the coronavirus. The reason would be that such anti-inflammatory drugs could be a risk for people with infectious diseases by reducing the response of the immune system. What some doctors recommend is taking acetaminophen, which is sold worldwide as Tylenol.
