A new survey carried out by Reckitt Benckiser found that over half of parents want more information on the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms in children.

Dr Sinead Beirne says there is no problem with giving ibuprofen or paracetamol to children, regardless of whether their symptoms are related to COVID-19.
