Is it necessary to drink water with the Efferalgan Stix packet?

No. That is the main advantage of the Efferalgan Stix format: the orodispersible granules dissolve directly on the tongue upon contact with saliva. Children can swallow them easily without needing to drink water.

What is the difference between an Efferalgan Stix packet and a standard packet of paracetamol powder that needs to be dissolved?

A standard powder packet must be dissolved in a glass of water or a bottle before administration. Efferalgan Stix technology features ready-to-use orodispersible microgranules that can be taken directly in the mouth without any prior preparation.

What should you do if your child’s fever doesn’t go down after taking Efferalgan Stix?

Make sure to wait at least 4 to 6 hours between doses and do not exceed the maximum daily dose. Also, remember to keep the child lightly dressed, give them fluids regularly to prevent dehydration, and maintain a moderate room temperature (around 19°C). If the fever lasts more than 3 days or is accompanied by warning signs (drowsiness, skin rashes, difficulty breathing), see a doctor immediately.
