Can Children's Chai Gui Tui Re Granules be taken together with ibuprofen?

Generally, ibuprofen is usually available in tablet, capsule, and other dosage forms. Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules and ibuprofen can be taken together following medical advice. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules and ibuprofen are used separately to relieve fever symptoms caused by cold-induced common cold and influenza. They do not conflict pharmacologically. Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules are a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that functions to induce perspiration, relieve exterior symptoms, clear internal heat, and reduce fever. It is commonly used to alleviate fever, chills, and other symptoms caused by exogenous wind-heat. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drug with antipyretic and analgesic effects, suitable for treating fever caused by common cold or influenza. Combining Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules with ibuprofen may enhance the antipyretic effect. However, it should be noted that both Pediatric Chai Gui Tui Re Granules and ibuprofen may potentially irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa; therefore, children with impaired liver or kidney function should use them cautiously to avoid adverse reactions.

Additionally, maintaining a cheerful mood and moderate exercise can help improve physical condition and promote recovery.
