Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Spleen

My son was diagnosed with glandular fever and pericarditis yesterday and the doctor in Emergency said he could have anti inflammatory tablets but not panadol bcause of the enlarged spleen. I have read that some people take panadol FOR enlarged spleen. He is still in pain and am wondering if he can take anything else?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to hcm.

Panadol is the trade name for paracetamol/Acetaminophen in the United kingdom.

Usually paracetamol is considered a safer Non steroidal antiinflammatory drug compared to other medications. Kindly consult a physician for the recommended dose that can be given to your child based on his weight.

Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
