Hello everyone, I'm poached egg mom.
Recently, the weather has been relatively cold, relatives and friends around have several sick numbers, cough and runny nose, and the children at home have also been recruited.
Originally it was a small illness, take a good rest, follow the doctor's advice to take some medicine, and you will be fine.
Unexpectedly, the relatives exploded in the group:
"Infusions get better quickly, less guilty!"
"Just diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection, the doctor prescribed medicine, I also think the infusion is getting better quickly, but the doctor does not agree ..."
"Children can't just hang needles, you still have a snack."
It seems that the last one to speak is more reliable.
Not long ago, I wrote that you can't just get a fever injection, and today, it is necessary for us to turn "not casual infusion" into a common sense.
Infusion at will can easily cause adverse reactions
Infusion, that is, by intravenous infusion, the large dose of injection is injected into the body, which is commonly known as "hanging needle" and "hanging water".
We, the post-90s generation, did not have less infusions when we were young, when parents generally believed that infusions were a way to make children recover faster.
With the popularization of scientific knowledge, everyone realized that for most diseases, infusion is not as effective as oral drugs, but will increase the adverse reactions of drugs.
Triggers allergies
During infusion, the drug skips the body's own barrier system, and some impurities in the drug enter the blood directly, and a large number of allergens will quickly trigger a reaction, which can cause anaphylactic shock.
Induces edema
The baby's body is so small, think about it, a short time to continue to inject liquid into, of course, will not be able to stand it!
In short, it is easy to cause excessive burden on the heart, induce pulmonary edema, and even difficulty breathing, which is life-threatening.
Vascular embolism
Infusion may seem simple and quick to operate, but in fact, if you are not careful, blood clots, bubbles or solid substances may enter the blood vessels, causing insufficient local blood supply and damaging the body.
Susceptible to infection
If the needle is not thoroughly disinfected, bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing infection and, in severe cases, sepsis.
Children's immune system is not yet mature, and it is not yet able to resist these adverse reactions well.
Therefore, it is best to follow the principle of medication advocated by the World Health Organization: no intramuscular injection that can be taken, and no intravenous fluid that can be injected intramuscularly.
These are common diseases that do not require infusion
In fact, many common pediatric diseases are self-limiting diseases, so don't worry.
The so-called self-limiting disease is a disease that will automatically stop in the process of development, gradually restore health, and the human body can be cured by relying on autoimmunity.
The most common self-limiting disease in our lives is the cold, which does not require or does not require special drug treatment, but only needs to be treated with the right medicine.
In these cases, infusions are required
Everything is pros and cons, the key is to see who uses it, how to use it.
Misuse of infusions can have irreparable consequences, but at the same time, the correct use can also be a life-saving treatment for the benefit of mankind.
When fluids need to be replenished quickly
When your child is severely dehydrated, vomits continuously, and is unable to eat, intravenous electrolyte fluids are needed to replenish fluids and electrolytes in the body.
Children who have just undergone gastrointestinal surgery, premature babies or newborns with insufficient sucking and swallowing ability also need to be supplemented with nutrient solution through intravenous injection in time.
Children with severe illness
In severe cases, intravenous injection can quickly open the intravenous passage and deliver drugs.
When a severe infection occurs
If your child develops a serious bacterial infection, the doctor will usually give infusion treatment.
For example, purulent tonsillitis, lower respiratory tract infections, etc., if it is found to be a bacterial infection, oral antibiotics or targeted infusions are required.
-Write on the back-
Many small clinics and even some hospitals like to give infusions to their children, and parents, especially the elderly, want to see a doctor immediately if they have a little symptom.
I hope that everyone can relax their mentality, don't scare yourself, and try not to let your child infuse if you can take medicine or intramuscular injections.
When the baby is sick, parents should not rush to ask for infusion, nor should they blindly refuse infusion.
Different diseases correspond to different treatment options, and we need to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
What do you think is there to pay special attention to when giving your baby fluids? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss Oh~
