Commonly used antipyretics for children include ibuprofen suspension, which belongs to the class of analgesic and antipyretic drugs and is effective for reducing fever. However, it should only be used when body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. Additionally, acetaminophen drops are considered a relatively safe antipyretic medication and can be used for fever caused by the common cold or influenza.
