Safe feeding principles, the most important is no matter what age of the baby, do not pinch the nose to instill the medicine, and do not force to instill, the child is crying when instilling the medicine, may lead to drug inhalation of the trachea and choking, suffocation! 0 to 1 year old: Give 0-1 year old babies swallowing function is not perfect, can only take liquid medicines (punch medicine can be washed with water and fed to the baby, if tablets should also be dissolved into liquid and then fed to the baby). Spoons and droppers can be used for feeding, and the tools should be sterilized. Do not let the baby lie flat when feeding the medicine, as it is more difficult to swallow. It is better to hold the baby in the elbow nest, so that its head slightly elevated a little, parents can first use their hands to fix the head and hands of the newborn baby, and then put the dropper or spoon containing the liquid into the baby’s mouth, placed at the root of the tongue (the latter third of the tongue), gently squeeze the rubber capsule of the dropper or slowly lift the handle of the spoon, so that the medication is retained in the baby’s mouth. Here we should especially remind that some of the babies within 1 year of age still have physiological reflux, that is, easy to spit up after feeding, for such babies after feeding attention to be held vertically, to avoid the baby to spit out the medicine, and then choked into the trachea. After feeding at least 10 minutes of observation, parents before leaving. If you have the conditions of the family, you can baby crib bed board on one end of the propped up, so that the baby lying in bed when the head is slightly higher than the feet. 1 to 2 years old: many “over people” feel to 1 to 2 years old baby feeding medicine is the most difficult, they are not like “when I was a child” so well-behaved, but not old enough to be able to talk to them “to understand the reasoning to move with emotion “to convince them to take the medicine. Many parents will buy some of the “sharp tools” for feeding medicines, such as syringes and medicine feeders. The use of these “sharps” to feed the drug is possible, but pay attention to the push of the drug must be slow, the younger the baby swallowing speed is slower, the drug should be pushed more slowly, otherwise the baby may not swallow in time to spit out the drug or cause choking and coughing. After the age of 1 to 2, some babies are able to start taking tablets, and some parents will break adult medicines and feed them to their babies. But if there are conditions, it is best to try to choose children’s special drugs, and do not break adult tablets to the baby, adult tablets do not take into account the flavor, poor taste, the baby is more difficult to accept, and the younger the baby’s ability to swallow the poorer, swallowing tablets or capsules are choking into the trachea may be, if you have no choice but to choose the tablets or chewable tablets, it is best to use the medicine with water or juice dissolved into a liquid and then feed the baby to drink. For medicines not specifically stated, it is possible to mix with juice or milk before feeding to the baby, and will not affect the effectiveness of the medicine, parents do not have to have a particularly big concern, but it should be noted that the medicine should be cooled before putting it in, so as to avoid destroying the active ingredients of the drug. Babies over 2 years old: For children over 2 years old, they already have a certain degree of understanding, and it is possible to solve this problem by communicating with him/her. Of course, parents usually have to pay attention to some details, do some work in advance. 1, parents usually do not take the medicine to scare the child, “you make trouble again …… will give you medicine!” Such words will make the child have a deep fear of taking medicine. 2, when parents are sick, you can take the medicine in front of the child, so that the child understands that the sick need to take medicine. 3, some parents will coax the child, this medicine is not at all bitter, the child ate once, know that fooled, may say anything in the future will not eat. Parents should truthfully tell the child: “This medicine is a little bitter, but you are a brave child, surely you can drink it.” Parents can also taste in front of the child first, drink a little to show the child, most of the time the child will obediently follow the drink. 4, the child bravely drink the medicine, parents can give reward. This kind of reward can be material, can also be spiritual, for example, can give the child to draw a certificate. 5, some of the younger children to go to the hospital and the fear of taking medication is more serious, parents can usually read with the child some books related to the doctor, but also to the baby a set of syringes and stethoscopes toys, so that the baby to play the game of the doctor to see the doctor, can alleviate the child’s fear. 6, for a little older children, you can say clearly to him the importance of medication to cure the disease, in most cases, the child can cooperate with the medication. 7, if the herbal medicine, taste slightly bitter, you can add some sugar or honey in the soup, and then give the baby to drink. Capsule medicines should not be taken until the baby is at least 5 or 6 years old. After the baby choking medicine response: If the baby choking medicine after breathing very well, it is best to find ways to let him cry a little harder to observe the oxygen intake and exhalation action when crying, to see if there is any abnormality, such as the voice becomes weak, difficult to inhale, serious concave chest, etc., if there should be immediately sent to the hospital. If the baby’s voice is loud and clear, with full breath and rosy face, it means there is no serious problem. If the baby holds his breath not to breathe or face darkened, said the drug may have entered the trachea, parents should immediately call 120, waiting for the arrival of 120 emergency personnel at the same time, you can let the baby lying prone in the adult’s lap or on the bed, and forcefully beat the back of the four or five times, so that it can be coughed up. If still ineffective, immediately clip or pinch to stimulate the soles of the feet, so that the baby cried due to pain, increase breathing.
