A member asked:
Can 4yr old take prednisolone and ibuprofen at the same time, has fever and also croup, he is haveing have trouble sleeping, is this a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These two medications can be taken at the same time. Trouble sleeping can be a side effect of croup due to to the increased effort to breath, the coughing, and the fever. The prednisolone can help decrease the effort needed to breath. The ibuprofen will help soreness in the throat from coughing and the fever. Addressing all these issues at the same time can help the child sleep better.
