Brufen Junior Orange is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) used in relieving pain. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short time pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc. Brufen Junior Orange helps relieve symptoms of mild muscle pain, aches due to cold and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

Brufen Junior Orange contains Ibuprofen, which is an anti-inflammatory medicine. It works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body.

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute pain is, for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration. It is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, Osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially the knee) and stiffness making daily tasks difficult.

Fever: Fever is not a disease but a sign that your body is trying to fight an infection or illness in which your body's immune system gets activated to fight infections caused by bacteria or viruses. A normal temperature is around 98.6 F but may vary from person to person. Fever is caused due to the 'pyrogen' released by the hypothalamus part of the brain. This pyrogen causes heat-generating effects to match a new higher temperature set point to fight infection.
