Recently, due to the dry weather and the big temperature difference between morning and evening, many people suffer from colds, especially children. However, after a child has a cold, because parents are afraid of the trouble, and the second fear of going to the hospital to the child caused by cross-infection, so parents buy their own anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine for children to eat. Sometimes the symptoms get better slowly, so they buy more at the same time, or increase the dosage without permission. Is it safe to take medicine in this way? Information shows that the number of cases of parents abusing drugs to their children with serious consequences is increasing day by day in our city. The main reason for such consequences is that the liver and kidneys of young children are not fully developed, the detoxification and excretion function is poor, the metabolism speed is slow, and there are special requirements for the type, usage and dosage of drugs, so you can’t just choose them on your own, you can’t simply calculate and reduce the dosage of adult drugs and give them to your children, you can’t give multiple drugs or overdose them in order to cure the disease in a hurry, and you can’t believe in the prescriptions. In the face of children’s illnesses, some parents often do not go through scientific and rigorous diagnosis, but give their children medication based on symptoms, which will often misdiagnose and aggravate the disease, and more serious is that although a short time to relieve or even cover up the symptoms, but miss the best time for treatment, resulting in further deterioration of the disease. Our hospital recently received a case of hepatitis A children, the parents have been thought that the child is suffering from a common cold, just at home to treat themselves, taking a lot of anti-cold drugs, until the condition is getting worse to the hospital, I do not know that anti-cold drugs not only can not cure the child’s disease, but also increased the burden on the child’s liver, the child is suffering from drug hepatitis. Experts also analyze: parents who take the initiative to treat their children are broadly divided into two kinds: one is living in more remote areas of rural parents, due to a lack of medical and health knowledge or economic reasons, rarely in the child’s illness in a timely manner to the hospital for examination. The other type of parents, on the contrary, are highly educated, have read a lot of medical books at home, and have a wealth of book knowledge in medical care and child-rearing, and are accustomed to treating their children with medication according to their own understanding or drug instructions when their children are sick. Often it is these “parent doctors” of the wrong treatment, delaying the child’s condition, serious and even life-threatening. For this reason, remind young parents: in the arduous process of child-rearing, must be scientific and objective treatment of children’s diseases, to go to the regular hospital for scientific diagnosis and treatment, follow the medical advice of the correct use of drugs, do not because of a momentary negligence, and cause irreparable consequences.
