please explain how long does it take childrens advil (ibuprofen) to kick in?

Question

I had a small drink about 4 hours ago how long do I have to wait to take advil (ibuprofen)?

Answer 1

About: 45 minutes to an hour. It depends on how full the stomach already.

Answer 2

No: The study that seemed to suggest otherwise turned out to be a fake.

Answer 3

No: The original studies that showed an association between MMR and autism have been discredited and many more studies have shown no association.

Answer 4

No: This is a common misconception. The issue has been studied numerous times and no link has been found between MMR (or any vaccine) and autism. Unfortunately, the web is a greater source of misinformation than information. Please discuss with your pediatrician before putting your child, and others, at risk by delaying or avoiding vaccination.

Answer 5

No: Many reliable studies have shown no connection between autism and the MMR vaccine. Earlier work suggesting a connection was bad science and has been discredited.

Answer 6

No: Although there was a lot of information floating around the web about a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, there are no credible studies to establish such a link. The lead author of the study that established such links has been widely discredited for manipulating the evidence and data in his research.

Answer 7

No: No, the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine does not increase nor decrease a child's risk of autism. However, the disease called measles is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause brain damage, so it is best to get the MMR vaccine and avoid catching measles.

Answer 8

No: This has not been proven.The rate of autism has been rising steadily over the past 30 years. This has been the pattern even before the MMR vaccine was introduced. Many children are diagnosed after their first birthday (when the vaccine is given) because they don't meet specific milestones.

Answer 9

No: This is really a tragedy that a few of malicious pseudoscientists misled many innocent individuals to believe as if MMR vaccine has caused autism. The original article contending the link between MMR vaccine and autism was officially removed and discredited. A number of well controlled studies disapproved the theory as well. Autism is a disorder with heavy genetic influence.

Answer 10

No: No, but children who don't get MMR are at risk for measles, mumps, & rubella. Parents in my practice attended the funeral of a 2 year-old boy who died from measles. By contrast, of ~1700 teens affected by last summer's mumps outbreak in ny, none appear to have been left sterile or infertile--protected because their parents gave them the mmr. My friends, the decision--and responsibity--is ours.

Answer 11

No: A manipulated, false study has created a regrettable phobia toward the vaccine. We need to look at many toxins in our environment that we freely consume and give to our children as possible culprits for autism.

Answer 12

No: Absolutely not! there is not 1 shred of evidence anywhere that supports the notion that the MMR somehow triggers or causes autism there are mountains of research rejecting that thought. The sad result of misinformation disseminated through various media by truly uninformed folks has led to reemergence of these diseases with some cases of serious complications. Let put this to bed once and for all.

Answer 13

Fraudulent link: Several studies have disproven the link, which was originally published in 1998 by dr. Andrew wakefield. An investigation by the british medical journal (bmj) concluded that dr.Wakefield faked data and created an elaborate fraud, causing long-lasting damage to public health. In fact, the original study was eventually retracted in 2010, and dr, wakefield lost his license.

Answer 14

May trigger abn rxn: Some immunologically vulnerable kids have had negative reactions form the multiple vaccine. Kids that are ill or who have personal or strong family hx of auto immune DX may really benefit from vit a and vit c to support their immune system w/ vaccine.

Answer 15

No evidence: There have been many studies that have shown no relationship between MMR and autism.

Answer 16

No.: Within the general medical community, there is no controversy about vaccines and autism. Based on the research, there is no correlation, and the vaccines are safe. We are doing our best to encourage parents to have their children get the appropriate vaccinations. Science is a continuing learning process--if more information comes along, rest assured we will let everyone know.

Answer 17

No: Any medicine or procedure has inherent risks and benefits. However, the actual risk of an vaccine adverse event happening is very small. Nevertheless, if you think your child may have had an adverse event following immunization, let your doctor know, develop a plan of action with her, and consider whether to report it to the vaers.

Answer 18

Yes: Vaccinations are in generally very safe with few documented adverse reactions. If your baby has tolerated a vaccination previously, they are likely to not have one in the future. For some vaccinations (such as the annual influenza vaccine), the composition can change year to year so be careful if your child has an intolerance to egg products.

Answer 19

No: You can never be sure what the body will do in response to a medication. Children who respond without problems to some vaccines, may still develop issues with subsequent shots. However, the worst is generally fever, irritability, sleepiness and poor feeding for a couple days at most.

Answer 20

No: Unfortunately, no. Your baby is less likely to have adverse reactions the older they get, but even adults can have ill-affects from vaccines. The MMR vaccine is not given before one year of age, but it is not unusual to have a fever and/or rash with this vaccine, even with no previous history of reaction to other vaccines. With any break of the skin, there is risk of complication.

Answer 21

No: Every day is a new day! so, one cannot predict that there will be no vaccine reaction in the future, even if there hasn't been a reaction in the past. However, it is unlikely that there will be a significant reaction in the future, because those reactions are uncommon.

Answer 22

No: Having said that, since vaccines don't cause serious side effects i wouldn't loose too much sleep over the risk that your child may run a fever or be fussy after a dose of vaccines.

Answer 23

No: Adverse reactions, sadly, cannot be 100% predicted based on previous vaccine reaction history, either positive or negative. Though I am a huge fan of vaccines, there's always the potential for an adverse reaction. Thankfully, the risk of serious adverse reactions is very low, much less than the risks of the diseases that vaccines protect against.

Answer 24

No: No, because it is possible for an allergy to develop after an initial exposure, but it is still quite unlikely.

Answer 25

No: Febrile seizures are common in children between 6 months and 6 years of age. They occur when your child's temperature raises rapidly. So, no, not all children with fevers will have a febrile seizure. About one in twenty-five children in this age group will have a febrile seizure. But the risk is slightly higher if your child has a sibling who has had a febrile seizure in the past.

Answer 26

No: Not all children with fever have seizures. In fact, it is a low percentage.

Answer 27

Not common: Febrile seizures are not common, but they do occur most often in pediatric patients. If this is a recurrent pattern, it is something that is best evaluated by a pediatric neurologist.

Answer 28

Depends: Febrile seizures are uncommon, but definitely something to be concerned about, especially if the child's temperature rises above 104-105 degrees. Cooling blankets, tylenol, (acetaminophen) and Motrin are all reasonable ways to manage a child's fever.

Answer 29

Not usually: If a child is meant to have a seizure with a fever, or febrile seizure, they are going to have it regardless of temperature level. A fever itself will not be the reason for the seizure.

Answer 30

No: Ibuprofen is an NSAID and you should not take this in pregnancy unless directed by your obstetrician for a few very specific indications. For fever, headaches and pains that you might take Ibuprofen for outside of pregnancy take tylenol (acetaminophen) for in pregnancy unless you are allergic to tylenol (acetaminophen) or have liver disease. Alleve is also not to be taken in pregnancy.

Answer 31

Not really: Anything in small moderation is not necessarily harmful while pregnant, even occassional caffeine, alcohol, or Ibuprofen (nsaids). But that doesn't mean these things are safe during pregnancy, as they can all have side effects if taken excessively or persistently. If taken repeatedly while pregnant, nsaids can cause early closure of the ductus arteriosus, which is necessary for fetal circulation.

Answer 32

Contact dermatitis: Poison ivy, oak and sumac all contain the same substance which causes a severe contact skin reaction in most people. The rash will appear from about 24-48 hours after the exposure to the plant oil. It is red, raised, very itchy and often has a seepy discharge or blisters. It will often appear in "streaky" lines on the areas which were exposed. Rash on the face can cause a lot of swelling.

Answer 33

Streaks, blisters: The allergic rash can cause itching, burning and blistering 1-2 days after contact with poison oak. The blisters may ooze clear fluid and may be different sizes. As they heal, they may look crusty. The rash may also look like pimples.
