(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Córdova García, Katerine Milagros; Linares Vásquez, Rosalyn; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Ibuprofen combined with paracetamol for controlling fever in children under 5 years old. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that included 7 articles, no older than 10 years, with full-text publications in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, from the databases: PubMed, Scielo, Journal Medical, Cochrane Plus, and BVS. These articles focused on the effectiveness of Ibuprofen combined with paracetamol for fever control in children under 5 years old. 42.8% (3) of the articles are from South American countries, including Peru, while 14.2% (1) each are from Spain, Canada, Mexico, and Nigeria. Results: Of the total articles analyzed, 71.4% recommend Ibuprofen as the treatment of choice for significantly reducing fever. Additionally, when used in combination with Paracetamol or Acetaminophen, it not only increases effectiveness in lowering the temperature but also extends the duration the child remains afebrile. Conclusions: The evidence shows that the combined therapy of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol is more effective for treating fever in children than monotherapy. However, it is important to note that the use of Ibuprofen should be limited to the initial treatment due to its adverse effects. Furthermore, it is evident that Paracetamol, when combined with physical methods, significantly reduces body temperature within the first hour, more effectively than physical methods alone.
