Conditions such as headache, myalgia, chest pain, pharyngitis, otitis media, arthralgia, sunburn, strains, and sprains often produce minor pain in children. For treatment of this mild pain, aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen (nonnarcotics), and codeine (narcotic) are excellent oral analgesic medications. Aspirin is one of the oldest analgesic medications, but its use has recently declined. It has the advantage of being inexpensive, and it has anti-inflammatory effects. Sustained high dosages are needed, however, for the anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, in most instances, aspirin is not much better than non–anti-inflammatory drugs.
Aspirin may be given every 4 hours at a dosage of 10 to 15 mg/kg per dose. Higher dosages increase only the anti-inflammatory effect—not the analgesic effect. Buffered aspirin may be tolerated better and absorbed faster, but there is no evidence to show that it acts more rapidly or lasts longer than the nonbuffered variety.

Dermis Vascular SystemThe dermis contains a complex vascular system arranged in three plexuses. Many structures are supplied retrogradely or have their own vascular and nervous plexuses, e.g., the hair follicles. The varying morphology of pathologic changes is due to certain pathologic processes being principally associated with a particular stage of the vascular system and consequently taking place largely in a particular layer of the skin. |
