The analgesics included paracetamol alone, ibuprofen alone, and paracetamol and ibuprofen in combination. ⋯ This study provides evidence to support the oral administration of ibuprofen alone or in combination with paracetamol for postoperative analgesia in children who are having teeth extracted under GA.
