Corona-V and Ibuprofen??
Tell me this is BS Fear Mongering??
Quote:
A girl suffering coronavirus symptoms became seriously ill after taking ibuprofen, her stepdad has warned.
When Amelia Milner, 4, was given ibuprofen her temperature soared, she began shaking, panting, and couldn't hold herself up or keep her eyes open. She even started vomiting on herself.
Stepdad Dan Collins has put out a message to others warning against the dangers - however the NHS is still advising those with symptoms take painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Dan's concern comes just days after France's health minister, Olivier Veran, said ibuprofen could aggravate the infection.

Here is the suggested dosage table for kids, starting at 6MO.

Could this case have been unintentional over-dose?

Covid-19: ibuprofen should not be used for managing symptoms, say doctors and scientists

"...His comments seem to have stemmed in part from remarks attributed to an infectious diseases doctor in south west France. She was reported to have cited four cases of young patients with covid-19 and no underlying health problems who went on to develop serious symptoms after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the early stage of their symptoms. The hospital posted a comment saying that public discussion of individual cases was inappropriate..."
Just a word of caution but there may be a link

Thanks, Pete
That article makes a valid argument for Tylenol (para-acetylaminophenol, acetaminophen, paracetamol) over ibuprofen.
Quote:
He added, “The finding in two randomised trials that advice to use ibuprofen results in more severe illness or complications helps confirm that the association seen in observational studies is indeed likely to be causal. Advice to use paracetamol is also less likely to result in complications.”
Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading, said that ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory properties could “dampen down” the immune system, which could slow the recovery process. He added that it was likely, based on similarities between the new virus (SARS-CoV-2) and SARS I, that covid-19 reduces a key enzyme that part regulates the water and salt concentration in the blood and could contribute to pneumonia seen in extreme cases.
“Ibuprofen aggravates this, while paracetamol does not,” he said.
