After the child is sick, parents are eager to use drugs, based only on their own little knowledge of medicine, without the doctor’s guidance, the unauthorized use of drugs, errors can occur, and even dangerous. The following are some medication misconceptions: 1, a cold or fever avoid indiscriminate use of antibiotics: most of the causes of children suffering from colds are viral infections, antibiotics do not work at all on the virus. If the abuse of antibiotics not only can not control the viral infection, but also increase drug resistance and adverse reactions, but also kill the probiotics in the body, disrupting the micro-ecological balance in the intestinal tract, causing disorders of the intestinal flora. This is also a waste of medical resources while increasing the economic burden. Whether you need to use antibiotics, under the guidance of experienced doctors, with the use of antibiotics under the clinical indications and laboratory indicators reasonable use of antibiotics. 2. Do not use antipyretic drugs indiscriminately when you have a fever. The causes of fever in children are many and sometimes complex. The abuse of antipyretic and analgesic drugs before the cause is identified can mask the condition, prevent correct diagnosis and delay treatment. Especially for small infants under 6 months of age with high fever, improper use of antipyretics may also cause increased sweating, sudden drop in body temperature and deficiency. However, for body temperatures over 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs should also be used to prevent febrile convulsions. 3. Do not use cough medicine indiscriminately when coughing. Coughing is a protective reflex for the human body, and coughing expels germs and phlegm from the respiratory tract, playing a role in clearing the respiratory tract and keeping it open. However, some young parents find that their children have a slight cough and rush to give them various cough suppressants. This practice can temporarily relieve the symptoms of coughing, but it can cause a large amount of phlegm and germs to accumulate in the respiratory tract, leading to bacterial infections and, in severe cases, chest tightness and breathing difficulties. Even pulmonary atelectasis can occur. Therefore, do not use cough medicine indiscriminately until the cause of your child’s cough is clear. 4. Do not use antidiarrheal drugs indiscriminately when you have diarrhea. Diarrhea is a common disease in infancy and early childhood, mostly caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, intestinal dysfunction, indigestion, bacterial and viral infections, etc. The medication for infectious and non-infectious diarrhea is very different. Bacterial and viral diarrhea are also not the same. However, some parents are eager to blindly take antidiarrheal medication when they find their child’s stool is slightly diluted. Although antidiarrheal drugs have a strong astringent effect and temporarily relieve the symptoms of diarrhea after taking them, the harmful bacteria and toxins that remain in the intestinal tract cannot be excreted, and these harmful bacteria and toxins increase rapidly in the intestinal tract and cause a variety of diseases, which seriously threaten the health of infants. Therefore, the treatment of infant diarrhea should be directed at the cause of the disease and treated symptomatically. 5, give children with adult medicine. Children’s organs and tissues are not yet mature and do not function well, especially the liver, kidneys and nervous system are very vulnerable to drug damage. For example, aminoglycosides can cause ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity in children, quinolones can cause chondrodysplasia in children, and aspirin can cause Reye’s syndrome in children under 6 years old.
