Are There Any Specific Conditions Where NSAIDs Should Be Absolutely Avoided?
Yes, certain conditions contraindicate the use of NSAIDs in children. For instance:
Asthma: NSAIDs can exacerbate asthma symptoms due to their effect on prostaglandin pathways. Chickenpox: There's a risk of developing severe skin reactions, such as Reye's Syndrome, a rare but serious condition affecting the liver and brain. Dehydration: In dehydrated children, NSAIDs can lead to acute kidney injury.
