Fever control in G6PD deficiency
NSAIDs can generally be administered to patients with favism in a usual therapeutic dose. However, if hemolysis occurs, the NSAID should be discontinued.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
I am slightly confused as to how NSAIDs can cause Crohn’s disease as I thought NSAIDs block the production of COX 1 and COX 2, thus preventing inflammation – but Crohn’s is an inflammatory disease. Could someone please explain this to me. Thanks :)- Alde8127
