In terms of antipyretic intensity, ibuprofen is stronger than acetaminophen, and the drug lasts a little longer, so many doctors recommend that babies under six months should not take this drug, but can choose acetaminophen with relatively low efficacy. Because if you choose a high-intensity drug for the first time, it will affect your baby's condition. In terms of adverse reactions, the two retired drugs are completely different. The side effects of ibuprofen mainly show the patient's digestive system, such as indigestion, heartburn, nausea and vomiting. When taking ibuprofen, it is recommended to take it with food to reduce the side effects of the digestive tract. The side effects of acetaminophen are mainly present in the liver, so if excessive use of acetaminophen, it will cause damage to the liver.
