對於父母而言，管理嬰兒的發燒或疼痛可能是焦慮的重大來源，尤其是在決定哪種藥物可以安全使用時。
Researchers compared the safety profiles of acetaminophen and ibuprofen during the first year of life, and the results are clear: both medications are equally safe for infants.
研究人員比較了乙醯胺酚和布洛芬在生命第一年內的安全概況，結果很明確：這兩種藥物對嬰兒的安全性相當。
However, this large-scale, randomized controlled trial found no evidence of such risks.

主導研究人員史都阿爾齊教授指出，這些發現使父母和醫療提供者在必要時使用這些藥物時更具信心。
While these results are a major milestone, the study is ongoing.
