Children are the most difficult to carry, especially when they are three or four years old and can run and play, it is even more difficult to bring.
There was a bao mama in the bao mama chat group, talked about her personal experience, and people were terrified to hear it. She said that when her child was 3 years old, she took advantage of her mother's downstairs to buy groceries, and no one took care of him. The child learned the appearance of his mother taking medicine, stuffed his mother's cold medicine in his mouth, and ate five pills.
When the mother came back from buying vegetables, she saw the child covering his stomach and looking very painful. This scared my mother to the ground. Fortunately in the misfortune, bao mom asked what the child was eating, suddenly remembered the vomiting method, gave the child a throat and eyes, and let the child vomit some.
Then, quickly took the medicine bottle and took the child to the hospital. After some laborious tossing, the child washed his stomach and also received injections, and the doctor said that fortunately it was only cold medicine, and other medicines would be dangerous.
Bao Ma said this in the group, almost frightened a group of Bao Ma. Even I didn't sleep well that night. When I got up the next day, the first thing I did was to quickly put all the medicines in the house into a drawer, and then I bought a lock and locked the medicines.
After this incident, the mother also specially asked the doctor about the child's first aid method of "accidentally ingesting drugs" and shared it free of charge. Then, he also instructed the mothers in the WeChat group: "Don't look at the children, don't let the children touch the adults' medicines." These first aid methods, the doctors have said good, but I still hope that you will not be able to use them in your lifetime. ”
So, once the child mistakenly takes the adult's medicine, what should the mother do to help the child first aid?
The occurrence of children taking medicine by mistake occurs from time to time. It is not that bao mom is careless, but some children are in a period of curiosity, especially like to imitate the behavior of adults. Some children find that there is something in the medicine bottle, and may mistakenly think that it is jelly beans, and they want to taste it.
Some mothers are very afraid that the child will take it by mistake, and when they see the child grabbing the medicine bottle, they will kill the child. As a result, the child's desire to taste the "jelly beans" is snuffed out in the cradle and suppressed in the heart. Therefore, some children are easy to rebel, and they want to learn from their mothers, taste "jelly beans", and take medicines indiscriminately.
However, some of the medicines taken by mothers belong to the type of health care, and the children are fine if they eat them by mistake. However, some mothers take medicines that are used to treat diseases, and once the child is not sick, it is easy to backfire. In life, there are not a few children who suffer physical injuries every year because of accidental medication.
What should parents do if a child mistakenly takes adult medicine? The textbook approach is worth learning
The first time to find out what medicine the child took by mistake
Knowing that the child has taken the medicine by mistake, quickly find the drug bottle that the child has mistakenly taken at the first time, take it in his hand, and ask how much medicine the child has taken. Then, go to the hospital and tell the doctor clearly, so that the doctor can make a judgment. If the mother finds that the child is eating ordinary drugs, there is no corrosive kind, which belongs to the cold medicine and blood pressure reduction class, then you can follow the doctor's instructions and induce vomiting.
However, if the child mistakenly takes it is corrosive, do not induce vomiting, otherwise it will backfire and the child's stomach will be damaged. In short, at the critical moment, everything is right to listen to the doctor.
Get to the doctor immediately
Once the child mistakenly eats the adult's medicine, the child's symptoms are very obvious, for example, there is vomiting, coma, purple face, etc., the mother will not wait, and quickly call the hospital for emergency. Or, immediately find relatives and neighbors, and send the child to the hospital emergency department nearby. When necessary, the doctor will help the child wash the stomach, this is not a problem that the mother can solve by helping the child "cut the throat and eyes" at home, and it is necessary to take the child to the hospital to check the organ function, lactic acid and other indicators to see if the child's organs are damaged, and then carry out reasonable treatment.
Remember, don't delay your child's emergency time at home, the sooner you send the doctor, the better.
Since the child has taken the medicine by mistake, it is so dangerous! Mothers should keep in mind that there are some effective ways to avoid children from taking drugs by mistake.
In life, how to avoid children taking drugs by mistake?
Children under the age of 5 are very easy to grasp things, still in the period of psychological development, strong curiosity, strong curiosity, and easy to imitate behavior. Therefore, bao mom must pay attention to pay more attention to the child's behavior, carefully save the medicine, and avoid letting the child eat it by mistake. These methods should be kept in mind by mothers. In ordinary life, we must be more prepared and do more.
First: the medicines at home, do not put them randomly, and keep them separately
Drugs at home are "dangerous goods", which should be carefully preserved, do not let children have their hands on it, and they can be caught casually. Especially in these places, for example, pillowsides, bedside tables, and dinner tables, less medicine should be placed.
Mom can put all the medicines in the house alone and store them in a locked box. Then, put it out of reach of your child. Or, put it in a locked drawer so that the child can't see it.
Second: Usually feed medicine to the child, the mother should use the right method
It is more difficult for the mother to coax the baby to take medicine than to coax the child to sleep. Because of this, mothers should pay more attention and be rational. When feeding your child medicine, you must use the correct method. Otherwise, the mother always coaxes the baby that "the medicine is sugar water and candy", and if the child forgets it, he may see the medicine bottle, remember that it is candy, and stuff it into his mouth. Only by cutting off from the root causes can the mother avoid the child from mistakenly eating the medicine as candy.
Third: you can practice with your child what the consequences will be after taking adult medicine.
Like some small video platforms, it is often seen that some mother and baby bloggers will drill in front of children to encounter electrical plugs, adults in order to let children experience more deeply, pretending to be "mouth foam", although it may be a little scary to the baby, but the advantage of this is that the child will no longer eat adult medicine.
Of course, we can also let children learn some safety knowledge by watching the news screen or reading picture books, so as to reduce children's safety accidents from the root cause.
In short, the child mistakenly took the drug, there is no harm, the mother should help the child pay more attention to safety, take care of the child, but also in the usual time to instruct the child.
