What factors should be considered for medication use in infancy and childhood?

The use of drugs in infants and young children should take into account the damage of drugs to various organs, the route of administration, and prohibit the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.
1. The development of organs in infants and young children is not yet perfect, so when choosing drugs, they should try to choose drugs that cause less damage to liver and kidney function and the nervous system, and at the same time pay attention to the control of dosage.
2. In terms of the route of administration, try not to carry out infusion therapy if you can take it orally. Although intravenous infusion is the fastest absorption and most reliable, but should take into account the child’s circulatory system development is not perfect, so try to choose oral drug disease, serious condition can be given infusion.
3. The use of antibiotics should be standardized, to determine the bacterial infection should be used as soon as possible, early, as well as the full amount of antibiotics, if there is no bacterial infection, do not mess with antibiotics, to prevent the creation of drug resistance.
Infants and young children should be under the guidance of a doctor, do not self-medication.
