Misconceptions about taking cold medicine for children

  Nowadays, when babies suffer from colds, parents often go to pharmacies to buy some “cold medicine” for their children, such as compound zinc cloth granules, pediatric aminophenol xanthamine, nursing Tong, pediatric aminophenol alkylamine, etc. In fact, not all colds are suitable for taking these cold medicines.  These cold medicines are compounded with different formulas, but most of them contain antipyretics (aminophenalkylamine, ibuprofen, etc.). If your baby just has a runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion, these are nasal catarrh symptoms, and chlorpheniramine in compounded cold preparations has some effect on this, but you don’t need to take the antipyretics in them. As the saying goes, no poison does not become medicine, unwanted antipyretic medicine into the baby’s body, will have its potential side effects, long-term use of pediatric liver will function damage, will cause a decrease in white blood cells, some will cause drug rash, and some have the side effect of inducing asthma attacks.  Therefore, if it is only runny, sneezing, nasal congestion, no fever, it is recommended not to take compound cold preparations containing antipyretics.
