When a baby is sick, the first reaction of parents is to “take medicine”. However, anxious parents often rely on experience alone to baby medicine, accidentally make a mistake! Wrong medication not only can not be a good cure for the child’s illness, but also harm the child’s body. Daily children’s medication blind spot, parents step foot? 1, the use of drugs too early Some children just a little runny nose or cough two, parents immediately give the child on the medicine or go to the hospital, and this is likely to children’s condition was not heavy, but due to warmth too much or to the hospital after the cross-infection led to the child’s condition aggravated. Therefore, if the child only has mild cold symptoms, and does not have a fever, diarrhea, normal diet, and a full head of energy, parents do not need to rush to take medicine or see a doctor. If it is just a simple common cold, it will usually heal in three to five days, but if the symptoms last for more than three days and have a tendency to worsen, you need to seek medical attention in time. 2, abuse of antibiotics Sometimes, we will treat antibiotics as a “panacea”, as soon as a cold, cough, antibiotics, a fever will also immediately take antibiotics. However, pediatricians clearly point out that if there is no bacterial, mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, the use of antibiotics is not necessary, and most of our common respiratory infections are caused by viral infections, so do not abuse antibiotics. The use of too many antibiotics will not only hurt the stomach and appetite, but also kill the probiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract, which has a certain impact on digestive function. 3, abuse of vitamins Vitamins do play an important role in the growth and development of babies, but not blindly think that more is better. Many medicinal vitamins have certain adverse effects and even toxic reactions, especially fat-soluble vitamins, too much or too long may cause the accumulation of poison in the body. 4, a disease more than one drug Some mothers in the baby with a drug, and found no effect, so you think of a new drug to try, do not know, so a variety of drugs go hand in hand. The drug is too mixed, the role of each other can be offset, but the toxic reactions are added, not only the efficacy is not good, and there will be adverse reactions. 5, sugar water medication Many mothers in the baby feeding time will find that the baby does not want to drink with a bitter taste of the drug, so they will use sugar water to baby medication. The actual fact that there are more calcium, iron and other minerals in sugar can react chemically with the proteins in the Chinese medicine and solidify and denature in the gastric juice, and then cloudy precipitation, resulting in a major loss of efficacy. Some drugs are used to stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and play a role in their efficacy, so if sugar is added to the medicine, the effect is not good. 6, symptom relief on their own to stop many drugs need to eat a full course of treatment, but some patients often eat a period of time, they feel relief of symptoms will stop the drug, or because they forget to take the drug and lead to irregular medication, which is not right. If you stop taking the medication or use it irregularly, it will make the tuberculosis bacilli in your body resistant to many kinds of anti-tuberculosis drugs, which greatly increases the difficulty of treatment. 7. Blindly believe that Chinese medicine is safer Generally, western medicine will be indicated in the instruction manual of the medicine, contraindications and adverse reactions, which may make some parents feel that western medicine is too unsafe. So choose some Chinese medicine, because the instructions of Chinese medicine is written: adverse reactions are not yet clear. But in fact, not yet clear, does not mean that it does not have side effects, just that it does not have the corresponding clinical trials, no clinical data collected, so, from this point of view, it is safer to choose drugs that have a detailed account of the corresponding contraindications and adverse reactions on the drug manual. 8, the indiscriminate preparation of small family medicine box family-owned small medicine box is very necessary, but what medicine is prepared is a learning curve. The family medicine box should be based on family emergency drugs and simple equipment, internal and external drugs are best placed separately, away from light, moisture, heat preservation. In addition, to keep a good drug manual, and often clean, check the drug to prevent the drug expired or deteriorated and caused unnecessary harm.
