What is the recommended treatment for mild pain and fever in children under 6 months?

Ibuprofen
Acetaminophen
Naproxen
Avoid IBU due to risk of nephrotoxicity

The correct answer is: Avoid IBU due to risk of nephrotoxicity

Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen are all commonly used to treat pain and fever in children. However, in children under 6 months, ibuprofen is not recommended due to the risk of nephrotoxicity (kidney damage). Acetaminophen is usually the recommended treatment for mild pain and fever in this age group. It is important to always consult with a healthcare provider before giving any medication to a child under 6 months, as they are more susceptible to potential side effects.
