A top Irish paediatrician has warned parents to avoid giving their children ibuprofen if they have the chicken pox.
Dr Niamh Lynch said this is because rather than easing their pain, ibuprofen can actually make a chicken pox rash much more itchy and increases the chance of a "nasty skin infection".
Sharing a video on her TikTok account, @tiktokkiddydoc, she told parents why they should never use it to treat the uncomfortable symptoms.
