"since 2019, on the advice of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products, French health workers have been told not to treat fever or infections with ibuprofen." [1]
But yet in some countries pediatricians will libreally prescribe it to toddlers

Also from [2] "In this systematic review of NSAID use during acute lower respiratory tract infections in adults, we found that the existing evidence for mortality, pleuro-pulmonary complications and rates of mechanical ventilation or organ failure is of extremely poor quality, very low certainty and should be interpreted with caution."

One of the problems is that if you give it to kids with chicken pox it can cause complications. There was also some hints early in the pandemic that ibuprofen had a similar effect on covid-19. However as you link to, the data doesn't really support that view anymore.
