Right, back on the ibuprofen! Ha, why is nothing straightforward?
Pasty Family update.
Little change, Mrs and 3 year old fine bar an odd sniffle/cough.
2 year old now on day 4 of cough (more pronounced over last 48 hours) and a bit rhaspy and wheezy (not panicked struggle to breathe though, if that makes sense)
Me: light cold symptoms (bit of a runny nose and slightly chesty cough).
Another week stuck in so making some plans to do some household bits (deck loft and install ladder for one! - I have the materials) and sort out bike/bits shed (most importantly) -
Fwiw ibuprofen advice has no scientific background.
Do you know this to be true?
Paul Little, a professor of primary care research at the University of Southampton, said: “The general feeling is that the French advice is fairly sensible. There is now a sizeable literature from case control studies in several countries that prolonged illness or the complications of respiratory infections may be more common when non-steroidal anti-inflammatories [NSAIDs] are used.”
