Pediatric supplies blacklist – had to see!

Black list No. 1 – children’s anti-side sleep pillow You may have seen this anti-side sleep pillow in Jingdong and Taobao, prices range from 30-80 yuan, and good sales. But recently the U.S. CPSC and FDA warned: do not use this to maintain the baby’s specific sleeping position (anti-flat head, etc.) “anti-side sleeper pillow. The pillow has led to at least 13 infant deaths in the past 15 years. The selling point of these sleep positioners was to keep the child lying flat and prevent asphyxiation and sudden death from lying prone after rolling over. But it is not what you want: side lying is not prevented, the child inadvertently down more trouble. Spring rain reminded the infant is best to go to the pillow lying flat, the simpler the better, add to the crime. Black list No. 2 – red potion purple potion red potion contains red mercury, if transdermal absorption will cause harm to the human body. Purple potion, if smeared on top of the broken skin, may leave spots. For minor abrasions, you do not need to use any disinfectant, just rinse with water. In case of bleeding, you can choose iodophor, which is relatively safe as it is not irritating. You can buy small bottles of iodophor in the market, and then iodophor plus a take-away swab is more effective. Black list No. 3 – Eukatan, good doll At the end of May last year, the State Drug Administration officially issued a notice on the official website, containing “amantadine hydrochloride” over-the-counter drug instructions were revised, due to the lack of safety and effectiveness of this type of drugs for newborns and infants under 1 year old Due to the lack of data on the safety and efficacy of these drugs in newborns and infants under the age of one, drugs such as Eucerin are prohibited within the age of one and are not recommended for children under the age of five. Currently on the market pharmacy sales of children’s cold medicine containing “amantadine hydrochloride” is mostly “good doll” (pediatric aminoglutethimide particles), “Eukatan” (pediatric aminoglutethimide particles ), “sunflower Kangbao” (pediatric aminophenalkylamine particles) and “Dilong” (aminogold xanthamine particles) and other brand products. “Eukatan” and “good doll”, in fact, is a different manufacturer of the same drug, the generic name is pediatric aminoglutethimide particles, its ingredients are: acetaminophen, amantadine hydrochloride, artificial oxymorphone, caffeine, chlorpheniramine maleate. Among them, the artificial cowberry is “antipyretic, sedative” Chinese medicine, in fact, there is no effect. Caffeine is a central excitatory drug, is used to refresh the mind. Amantadine hydrochloride is an antiviral drug, but it can’t resist the common cold virus, it used to be able to resist the flu virus, but now the resistance of the flu virus to it has reached 100%, and it has no effect on the flu. So the real active ingredients of “Eukatan” and “Goodbaby” are acetaminophen and chlorpheniramine maleate. If you feel that eating “Eukatan” or “good doll” is effective for the flu, you can buy acetaminophen on your own, which is much cheaper and safer, and can avoid the adverse reactions brought about by those ineffective ingredients. Blacklist #4 – bone density test Bone density is a radioactive test that uses a very small dose of radiation to detect bone density. It is recommended that women over 65 and men over 70 receive a bone density test if they do not have risk factors such as underweight, long-term use of certain medications (such as steroids) and certain diseases (such as anorexia nervosa, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, etc.). It is also not very meaningful to check bone density in children, because the bone density value of each child is different, the bone densitometer used in each hospital is different, the location of bone density measurement in each hospital is also different, and there is no standard value of bone density measurement in children internationally. At the same time for small infants if the bone density is normal, its calcium absorption is going to be reduced, mainly passive absorption. The higher the body’s need for calcium the more its ability to actively absorb calcium is enhanced. For infants and young children, the focus of the physical examination is to understand the child’s “eating, drinking, sleeping” based on the growth indicators, combined with the measurement of the doctor’s examination, to give an assessment of growth and development, focusing on “parenting” guidance. For children, especially infants and toddlers in their growth spurt, low bone density means rapid growth and is a good sign, not an indication for calcium supplementation. Excessive calcium supplementation can increase the burden on the kidneys and other organs. Blacklist #5 – Trace element screening Clinical testing of the human body for the risk of vitamin D deficiency rickets is referenced neither by the value of trace elements nor the value of bone density, but by the value of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D. A value less than 20ng/ml is considered vitamin D deficiency. Normally fed children do not need additional calcium supplementation as long as they are supplemented with enough vitamin D for their daily physiological needs, and there is no need to do various tests with instruments or blood draws. Since the physiological effect site of calcium, zinc, iron and other elements is not in the blood, there is no point in testing for trace elements. In particular, there is no scientific justification for testing hair. With peripheral blood testing, there is no guarantee that the blood is not diluted by tissue fluid when it is taken, so it is not even representative of blood levels. Trace element testing will lead parents to pay too much attention to trace elements, resulting in the prevalence of trace element preparations, thus neglecting balanced nutrition, which will do no good at all. Hazards of blindly giving children micronutrient supplements: 1. Excessive vitamin D and calcium: hypercalcemia, calcification of organ tissues; 2. Excessive zinc: gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting; 3. Excessive vitamin A: mental depression, vomiting, and in severe cases, increased intracranial pressure and coma. Blacklist No. 6 – colostrum September 1, 2012, the Ministry of Health to implement new regulations: colostrum shall not be added to infant formula, older infants and young children’s formula, infant formula for special medical purposes these three types of food. Colostrum is the milk of dairy cows within 7 days after calving, which is physiologically abnormal milk, its physical properties and composition are very different from regular milk, the yield is low, industrial collection is difficult, the quality is unstable, and it is not suitable for processing infant formula. Pediatricians believe that the excessive amount of estrogen in colostrum, if not metabolized normally by the child, will stay in the body to promote gonadal development and lead to precocious puberty in children. Cloudless (Dr. Food Engineering): Colostrum has not been studied much at all, and no evidence has been “found” to determine whether it works. There is “no evidence of usefulness”, so there is “no need to add”. The most dangerous thing is that the neck collar is a plastic collar, and there are clinical cases where the baby is allergic to the collar or the collar rubs too much, leading to dermatitis; the collar can easily compress the trachea; 4. The most dangerous thing is that there is a carotid sinus on the neck, if it is accidentally pressed, pressure-receptive reflexes can occur, slowing down the heart rate and dropping blood pressure, and even shock in serious cases! The collar has this danger! The best way for a baby to swim is to be held by an adult, with one forearm dragging the baby’s hip. The other hand holds the baby’s back and goes into the water close to the adult’s body. In the water, try just dragging the baby’s hips, or holding the armpits with both hands, and try to let the baby feel the joy of playing in the water. Blacklist No. 8 – children’s soy sauce People’s Daily Online recently published an investigative report on children’s soy sauce. In the report, it was written that in the description of the characteristics of children’s soy sauce, many parties repeatedly said that it is “low salt light mouth brewing soy sauce”. However, according to the reporter’s observation, this is not the case. The sodium content of children’s soy sauce on the market, which represents the salt content, is comparable to the sodium content of regular soy sauce, and the sodium content of some children’s soy sauce even exceeds that of regular soy sauce. The sodium content of Haitian children’s soy sauce is 1020mg/15ml, i.e. 6800mg/100ml, while the sodium content of Haitian soy sauce gold standard soy sauce is 6400mg/100ml. Infants and children need lighter tastes because they are not yet fully developed and their organs are delicate, and the sodium in salt can cause a burden on the kidneys. At the same time, infants and young children’s sense of taste is also in the process of development, the stimulation of foreign condiments are more sensitive, plus soy sauce, salt and other condiments easy to cause infants picky, anorexia. For children between 1 and 3 years old, the amount of soy sauce added to the diet should be controlled to within 1 gram. Black list No. 9 – toddler belt and toddler car with a toddler belt and other holding the child walking is not conducive to the development of lower limb joints. Walking is a natural developmental process and should not be interfered with prematurely. If a child sits in a walker for a long time, he is not trained to crawl and it is easy to trigger his sensory disorders later. In addition, after the child sat in the walker, his whole body weight, pressed down, although he sat, he walked, but his weight pressed on the two feet, so we sometimes see the child in the walker, often horseshoe foot shape walking, long-term down, one is easy to cause deformities of the child’s lower limbs, in addition, the child is also prone to develop the habit of foot inversion, or foot valgus. Therefore, we do not recommend that children sit on the walker, not to mention that the child sitting on the walker, the balance is not well mastered, as long as he leaves the walker, he is not stable, because the walker frame, not let him undergo balance training of this possibility, so children can not sit on the walker. In 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics AAP released a study on infant walkers, pointing out the injuries and fatalities caused by walkers to infants, so the AAP also recommended banning the production and sale of walkers. Blacklist #10 – Honey for babies under 1 year old [Do not feed honey to babies under 1 year old] Infant botulism rarely occurs above the age of 1 year because the natural microbiota in their gut has developed to a more mature level and is not conducive to the germination of these spores. The early signs of botulism in infants are constipation followed by sleepiness, difficulty feeding, general muscle weakness, and weak cries. Most patients require hospitalization, but fatal cases are relatively rare. Blacklist #11 – Children’s eye drops Many infants have a lot of tears and sticky discharge in one eye, due to poor nasolacrimal duct patency. Regularly, especially early in the morning, use a warm towel on the eye to remove the sticky discharge. It is best to rinse the eyes with saline again. Do not use eye drops or eye ointments containing antibiotics as long as the white eye is not red. Massaging the inner canthus under the inner corner of the eye can also have some effect. The nasolacrimal duct will mostly clear on its own and rarely requires surgery. Eye drops are risky for children] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that over-the-counter eye drops containing tetrahydrozoline, hydroxymetazoline, or naphthazoline may cause serious adverse reactions in children in amounts as small as 1 to 2 mL, with nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, slowed breathing, bradycardia, hypotension, hypertension, drowsiness, dilated pupils, and coma. Parents should put these drugs out of reach of their children. Blacklist No. 12 – put the poop and urine stupid traditional experience killed the child! What fever to cover the child to cause convulsions, infants need to tie the legs to make the legs straight, do not give the child a bath in winter so that the child is covered with dander, a few months to start to urinate regardless of whether the child sphincter is well developed, too early to add supplementary food caused by child allergies, can not eat hard to feed the results of child indigestion … … Mothers should protect their babies! Don’t give your baby a diaper, just give your baby a diaper, your baby will slowly control urination on its own, if you keep giving your baby a diaper, it’s hard for your baby’s bladder to fill up, and your baby won’t have the urge to urinate, so your baby may have a hard time controlling urination on its own! The recommended time to start bowel training is 22~27 months. It is not recommended that babies start to “poop and pee” when they are a few months old, because the child’s spine and hip joints are not yet well developed, so keeping the “put” position for a long time is not good for physical development and can easily cause joint relaxation or even dislocation. Secondly, a few months old baby’s brain development is not mature, after eating milk, pull, the so-called “rectum”, this time do not need regular poop. Diapers (diapers, diapers) affect the child’s genital development is not a scientific statement. Many countries have been using diapers for decades and have not found similar problems. Instead, the traditional way of “holding the urine” or “holding the stool” can easily cause infants to prolapse and cause the premise of hemorrhoids. The high incidence of hemorrhoids among Chinese people is related to the fact that they received “urination” and “defecation” when they were young. The black list No. 13 – baby-proofing Dan Do not give your child baby-proofing Dan, which contains bitter cold drugs for the child’s liver and kidneys is harmful, so the use of drugs is not right, only to aggravate the diarrhea. Many proprietary Chinese medicines contain ingredients that are harmful to children’s bodies, such as Zhi Bao Zhen and Bao Yin Dan, so don’t just take medicine without illness. The ancient formula for baby-protection pills: asparagus, rhinoceros horn, antelope horn, niuhuang, musk, toadstool, incense (cattle, from childhood to eat so powerful and expensive drugs), modern formulas to increase the vermilion, andrographis, croton cream, scorpion, half a summer and more than a dozen Chinese medicines. (So many highly toxic drugs, there are really parents dare to give their children to eat?) Black List No. 14 – Monkey Date San Monkey Date San contains Aristolochiaceae plant fine pine, has aristolochic acid, will cause irreversible damage to the kidneys, do not use. The whole scorpion in Monkey Date San is also very toxic. The main ingredient is the monkey date is a stone in the body of the monkey, it sounds disgusting, eat it for what? It is true that monkey date is more toxic, and our hospital herbal medicine department has specifically warned about it. In addition, according to China Economic Network, on May 6 and July 12, 2011, the Hong Kong Department of Health recalled a number of children’s proprietary Chinese medicine, “Hua Tuo” brand quality baby-protection Dan, Wan Ying baby-protection Dan, Wan Ying monkey dates, etc. are among the recalled, because the mercury content, the weight of the powder exceeds the standard. A spokesman for the Department of Health said that acute mercury poisoning can cause inflammation of the mouth, such as long-term intake of excessive mercury, can lead to damage to the nervous system and kidneys, young children are particularly vulnerable. Blacklist No. 15 – seven-star tea, open milk tea I do not agree to give children to drink seven-star tea, which is not good for children’s health. Don’t categorize everything as a “fire” problem, and blindly give your child a fire-removing medicine that hurts the child’s spleen and stomach. For newborns should not just give the child medicine, I really do not understand, why you would think of giving the child to drink seven star tea? It is medicine for such a young child, the liver are very harmful, why should give the child medicine. I really don’t understand why some mothers don’t listen to the scientific method of child rearing, but prefer to listen to the old customs, what newborn babies are born feeding Huang Lian water ah, seven star tea, sea horse water, licorice water. These old customs will hurt the child’s stomach and intestines. Science has developed to today. Mothers are mostly post-80s and even post-90s, but they still don’t learn more about childcare. What can I say! With all due respect, I get annoyed when I see these kinds of questions asked of me. The baby does not need to drink extra water within 6 months, whether breast-fed or artificially fed. 6 months old babies who are exclusively breast-fed need to add vitamin D preparations but otherwise do not need to feed anything else, including water. Manual feeding of babies in addition to formula, anything else also do not need to feed, including water, seven star tea, open milk tea and so on all do not need. 6 months or less of small babies only feed milk, do not need to add water, rice soup, juice, vegetable water, open milk tea green, honeysuckle water, Huanglian water …… this sentence said my mouth is long calloused. Blacklist No. 16 – Yansuuning and other Chinese medicine injections As early as September 1, 2009, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the 23rd adverse drug reaction information bulletin had pointed out that the serious adverse reactions to injections and Yansuuning injections are more prominent problems, the use of these two injections should strictly grasp the indications The two injections should be used with strict indications and caution in pediatric patients. According to Sohu health report, in early September 2012, more than 10 infants and children in Hefei were injected with Yansuuning, and generally appeared in shock. In August 2012, 11 patients in Jiangsu Province also experienced adverse reactions after using the injection and were stopped by the local drug regulatory bureau. Yansuuning injection already has a “previous record” and a bad track record. The main symptoms were anaphylaxis, allergic-like reaction, chills and high fever, while the damage to the skin and its accessories was mainly manifested as a rash, of which 53% of the patients were children under 14 years old and 38% of the patients who died had anaphylaxis caused by the drug. Black list No. 17 – infants and young children fed glucose Often parents complain that a few months of the baby does not like to drink water, asking whether they can use glucose water, juice and other flavored water to make children drink more water to avoid “fire”? This is a common misconception of parents that they must drink more water to be healthy. In fact, small babies mainly drink milk, milk contains a lot of water to meet the needs of the body, children naturally do not like to drink water again. As long as the baby’s urine is observed to be slightly yellow or colorless it means that there is no water shortage. Some infants and children will seem quiet and drowsy after taking “pediatric frightening wind”, which is considered by Chinese medicine to have quelled the “fright” and extinguished the “wind”. “The parents also think that the medicine has removed the disease and relieved the child from the trouble of crying, and they cannot help but sigh at the magic and “profundity” of Chinese medicine. In fact, the “effect” of taking “children’s frightening wind” is the symptom of mercury poisoning. Baidu encyclopedia: Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, dan sand, red dan, mercury sand, is a natural ore of mercury sulfide (chemical name: HgS). Cinnabar is a compound of mercury, which has a special affinity for the hydrophobic groups in proteins and, at high concentrations, can inhibit a variety of enzymes and activities. Mercury entering the body, mainly distributed in the liver and kidneys, and cause liver and kidney damage, and can cross the blood-brain barrier, direct damage to the central nervous system. (Such a toxic thing, how dare you give it to your baby to eat!) “The quiet performance of children after taking Chinese medicine containing vermilion is not a tranquilizing effect, but a mental depression caused by poisoning… China’s current four major drug standards, as many as 300 kinds of prescription preparations containing vermilion, commonly as follows: Pediatric Baishou Pill, Pediatric Zhibao Pill, Pediatric Jindan Tablet, Pediatric Frightening Wind Dispersion, Pediatric Fever Clearing Tablet, Tianwang Tonic Heart Pill, Toothache One Pill, Niuhuang Qingxin Pill, Niuhuang Zhenzhi Pill, Niuhuang Qingbrain Pill, and Kidney Beneficial Brain Tablet”. Black list No. 19 – candle bag Playing candle bag will limit the baby’s limb movement, may also affect the blood supply to the lower limbs. In particular, it restricts the baby’s hip exercise, the incidence of hip dislocation will increase. If the baby’s thighs remain propped open, the hip fossa can be deepened continuously, thus preventing hip dislocation. Investigation shows that: the southern baby more back on the back, legs apart like a frog, the incidence of hip dislocation is indeed much lower than the long-term play “candle bag” northern baby. I always did not like to give Doudou to wear open pants, one does not respect the baby’s privacy and the other is unhygienic. I advocate that babies wear buried pants and diapers when they are young to retain the freedom to urinate and defecate anywhere and anytime. When the baby can express himself, then train him to pee and poo by himself. Doudou can express herself recently, so I started training her to pee and poo by herself today. The actual blacklist 21 – clear fire treasure and other powdered milk to remove fire products Some children “eye poop”, or “constipation”, or “sour breath “The mother thinks it is “fire”. Many businesses are now seizing on the psychology of these mothers, seeing the business opportunity to promote their products as “fireproof” and “non-flammable milk powder”. Some mothers are misled, so they generously open their wallets to buy for their children to eat. Children have become the “fire” experiment, happy bad business, suffering the child. Black list No. 22 – chewing food to feed children Often children are infected with Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted to him by adults, such as adults chewing food to feed children, adults use their own used bowls and other eating utensils to children, no sharing dishes cause family members to eat the same dish, etc.. The unhealthy feeding method is harmful. Where did the cariogenic bacteria come from? The original is infected from the adult mouth, when the mother and father, grandparents, aunts and uncles should treat their own caries, periodontal disease in time, yo. Having healthy teeth and clean mouth is also responsible for the next generation. Reminder: children should use their own special bowl and spoon. Black list No. 23 – fever using alcohol rubbing baths home with alcohol rubbing baths, often fail to achieve the desired effect, the reason is that parents can not easily grasp to the large blood vessels flowing parts, so that the antipyretic effect is limited, but increase the child’s chills radiation. Because the process of alcohol evaporation will take away the heat of the skin surface, so that the skin contraction chills response, more detrimental to the body heat distribution. It is recommended that warm wet compresses and warm baths are still used within the family, which is safer. Black list No. 24 – child burns after applying salt water, soy sauce, toothpaste For preschool children, burns burns are a common injury that threatens a lot. When the temperature exceeds 50°C, it can lead to severe skin damage within seconds. Many parents don’t know much about how to treat their child’s burns and use saline, soy sauce or toothpaste to save them, but this can actually worsen the injury. The correct way to treat a child after a burn should be: “flush, take off, soak, cover, send”. These five steps are indispensable, and the order should not be disordered. 1. rushing: directly rushing with gentle, flowing tap water to the scalded part, the faster the better, and insist on more than 20 minutes. 2. off: while rushing with gentle movements off the burned person’s outer clothing. When clothing and local skin adhesion together, do not force peel off, can cut off the adhesion around the clothing not sticky, and let the sticky clothing remain intact. 3. Soak: Soak the wound with cold water for about 30 minutes. 4. Cover: Wrap with sterile dressing, which can play a protective role, while the dressing can also absorb the tissue fluid exuded from the trauma. After cooling, gently cover the scalded area with clean gauze. If there is a blister, do not press it to avoid causing infection. Generally the blisters formed by boiling water burns are sterile and the epidermis is not broken, at this time if the blisters are not very large, there is no need to pick them. In addition, the blisters are not picked, the skin is intact, bacteria are not easy to enter, so infection is not easy to occur, the blistered skin can also play a role in protecting the wound. 5. send: as soon as possible to a hospital with experience in saving burns treatment.
