  • Acute treatment involves early administration of oral ibuprofen (10 mg/kg) or alternative routes if necessary.
  • Non-pharmacological methods like biofeedback and relaxation techniques are effective prophylactic measures.
  • Pharmacological prophylaxis is considered when non-pharmacological approaches fail.
