How long does it take for the antipyretic suppository to take effect?

Children's antipyretic suppositories usually take effect within half an hour to an hour of use. At the same time, you need to pay attention to observation, provide good care, and wipe with warm water to reduce the temperature.

If the baby's fever has not subsided for more than an hour, it is recommended to wipe the whole body with warm water immediately, especially the palms, wrists, soles of the feet, and armpits, where heat dissipation is faster. At this time, do not feed the baby foods such as egg yolks, and focus on liquid foods.

How to use antipyretic suppositories for children

When children have a high fever, using antipyretic suppositories has a good antipyretic effect. When using antipyretic suppositories, pay attention to the placement method. Remove the outer packaging, have the child lie on his side, expose the anus, and slowly push the antipyretic suppository until it is completely inserted into the anus.

Children aged one to three years old, take 1 tablet once a day;

For children aged 3 to 6 years old, take 1 tablet at a time, twice a day.

It is recommended to use it under the guidance of a physician, because for absorbable drugs, the individual differences in rectal venous return are relatively large, which will lead to differences in the degree of drug absorption, which may cause insufficient therapeutic doses or therapeutic doses exceeding the toxic dose.
