I once avoided a crisis with blue pen syrup.

I have a memory of being truly surprised when my youngest was 5 years old. Around 9 p.m., suddenly the child developed a fever, started trembling all over, and began vomiting with seizures. The first priority was to reduce the fever, so I gave him the Buropen syrup we had at home and rushed to the emergency room. In the car, the fever started to subside, and the trembling body began to calm down. At that moment, I realized how effective Buropen's fever-reducing effect was.

After arriving at the university hospital and undergoing various tests, the results showed acute meningitis. The doctor asked what kind of fever reducer had been given before they arrived, and I told them I had given ibuprofen, which they said was a good choice. I think from that point on, I preferred ibuprofen more. I remember being hospitalized for nearly two weeks due to meningitis. That was when my youngest child was like that.

There was a funny story where a child who couldn't straighten their back after having their spinal cord removed from their back immediately straightened up as soon as the band attached to their back was removed. Haha. Maybe thanks to the burn ointment, it was well controlled with heat, and now they are growing up very healthily.

 

Bluepen, launched in 1987 as a leading children's fever reducer, has maintained the number one market share for 35 years to this day, making it a product that most mothers with children are likely to have at home.

 

Since 2012, it has been designated as an over-the-counter safe medication at convenience stores, allowing purchase without a doctor's or pharmacist's prescription at pharmacies or convenience stores. It is a general medicine that can be taken in appropriate doses according to age using a measuring cup.

The dosage of Bluepen syrup is available in 90ml sold at pharmacies and 80ml sold at convenience stores.

 

Ibuprofen syrup contains 20mg/ml of ibuprofen, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for fever reduction, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is commonly used together with acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol.

 

Although it is a children's fever reducer, adults can also take it. For adults, the recommended dose is 10-20ml three times a day after meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For children under 30kg, the dosage is determined based on their age.

 

Bluepen syrup should be taken after meals, and if a high fever above 39°C persists or if the fever does not subside 2 to 4 hours after taking antipyretics, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly.

 

Foods good for reducing fever include cucumber, seaweed, and melon. Consuming foods like buckwheat and abalone, which have cooling properties, can also be helpful.

 

Burufen syrup is a grateful product that stabilized my surprised heart, and my youngest child, who recovered from a fever with Burufen, is now in sixth grade and active as a judo athlete. If you have children at home, Burufen is essential. Today, this is my youngest child heading to Ulsan to participate in the 52nd National Youth Sports Competition. He has truly grown up healthy, hasn't he? There is a clear reason why Burufen has maintained the number one market share for 35 years.

Who is truly growing up healthily, our little one? Hehe
