1, a common mistake – infusion is faster than taking medicine intravenous infusion, the drug directly into the blood circulation, although the effect of the drug faster, but if the drug has adverse reactions will also appear faster and more serious, in addition to the infusion itself a variety of infusion reaction, infusion speed, liquid temperature, may cause problems. Parents should do this: can take medication without injections, can injections without infusions, so that the baby does not suffer. 2, common mistake two – cover sweat to reduce fever The old people have a native recipe: after the cold with a quilt covered sweat. For adults, this sometimes does work, but it is not suitable for babies. Analysis of the reasons: babies have insufficient blood supply to the extremities, the nervous system is not yet well developed, the plant nerves responsible for managing the diastole and contraction of blood vessels are easily disturbed, if they are wrapped too tightly, but can not dissipate heat, while leading to dehydration, metabolic acidosis, more serious will also cause brain hypoxia. There is a clinical disease that belongs to children – “masked syndrome”, is the baby wrongly wrapped caused by serious diseases. 3, common mistake three – fever immediately take antipyretic fever is a normal response of the body to infection, can mobilize the body’s infection defense function. But fever can make people feel sick, and when the fever is very high, infants and young children are prone to febrile convulsions. Parents should do this: axillary temperature below 38.5 ° using physical cooling methods; axillary temperature of 38.5 ° or more, drug cooling at the same time, combined with physical cooling. Fever and sweating easily lose water, pay attention to the baby hydration. 4, common mistakes four – with alcohol (or white wine) to reduce fever Alcohol bath is a simple and effective method of reducing fever, but more and more evidence shows that alcohol bath cooling on the baby’s side effects, even to the possibility of death. Analysis of the reasons: infants and young children with delicate skin, capillary-rich, and relatively large body surface area, bath if the alcohol concentration is too high, bath time is too long or scrubbing a wide area, alcohol will be absorbed into the human blood through the skin, resulting in alcohol poisoning symptoms (commonly known as drunkenness), causing baby mental excitement, restlessness. Alcohol can also cause rapid vasoconstriction, the baby appears to stand hair reaction, shivering discomfort, body temperature rebound and feel feverish unbearable. Alcohol is also an allergen, alcohol bath for some babies may cause serious allergic reactions. 5, common mistakes five – cooling with ice packs Ice packs are an effective means of physical cooling widely used in clinical practice, without special materials, simple operation, easy for patients to accept, commonly used in patients with high fever. Because the ice bag and the skin fit more closely, when using must be wrapped in a small towel, pay special attention to the regular replacement of the site to avoid frostbite. However, this method is not suitable for small infants. Analysis of the reasons: small infants have a relatively large body surface area, poor thermoregulation, the external temperature is too low, especially the local application of large areas of ice bags, it is very easy to make subcutaneous fat solidification and hard swelling. 6, common mistake six – with a high fever baby waiting for medical treatment The phenomenon of long queues for the national doctor is very common. Many mothers rush to the hospital without any treatment after the baby has a high fever and wait in line for the doctor to deal with it, which is very dangerous. Reason analysis: High fever over 39℃ has a greater impact on health, so when your baby has a high fever, you should first give your baby oral antipyretics and then go to the hospital and wait in line to see a doctor. In the process of seeing a doctor if the baby continues to have a high fever, do not blindly queue, and timely contact with the doctor who sees you, the doctor will generally be flexible. 7, common mistake seven – cold to take anti-inflammatory drugs more than 90% of the common cold is a viral cold, the course of the disease takes about 1 week. Anti-inflammatory drugs are ineffective because they treat bacterial infections and are ineffective against viruses. Parents should do this: viral colds do not need to take anti-inflammatory drugs, can be used under the guidance of a doctor to suppress cough, nasal congestion and other certain drugs. 8, common mistake eight – baby diarrhea can not eat milk baby diarrhea, the above eat the following pull, so do not feed the baby milk. Parents should do this: first figure out the cause of the baby’s diarrhea. If it is lactose intolerance, you should add lactase to your baby or give your baby lactose-free formula. If it is infectious diarrhea, the intestinal infection should be treated under the guidance of a doctor. If the diarrhea is caused by cold, improper feeding, etc., it should also be treated according to the severity of the diarrhea. For small babies, with mild diarrhea, you can continue to eat milk, you can formula milk to make it thinner, and breastfeeding can be properly fed with water; for severe diarrhea, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, and your doctor will evaluate the need to stop using formula milk or breast milk.
