Many often ask doctors to prescribe medication for common illnesses for children to take home as a backup, which undoubtedly leaves a hidden danger for adverse reactions. Baby medication has to be careful, parents must raise awareness of the safety of children’s medication, be alert to the minefield of children’s medication, preferably under the guidance of a doctor. The following three most common minefields of children’s medication: 1, inaccurate medication. For example, in the early stages of the cold, there is no bacterial infection when the use of antibiotics; some children have lung infection, but parents just give children to eat cold medicine. 2, the dose is not correct. If parents give 3-4 years old children, according to the dose of infancy, it will not be effective. And used to the dose of seven or eight-year-old children, there may be obvious side effects. 3. Repeated medication. Several drugs with similar effects are used overlappingly, such as taking a variety of cold medicines, cough medicine, phlegm medicine at the same time, which can cause excessive sweating, diarrhea and other symptoms, and some can cause abnormal liver and kidney function.
