Summary
This study will examine in detail the immediate effects of three common treatments given to
children with fevers to lower their temperature. Each child will be given either ibuprofen,
acetaminophen, or a combination, and their temperature monitored at five-minute intervals.
The temperature-lowering effects of each treatment will be compared to evaluate which is most
effective.
