Children are the heart of parents, in order to give their children a more healthy and developing future, parents are also doing their best. At the same time, parents are extremely concerned about the health of their children.
Because many children are relatively young, the immune system inside the body is relatively weak, and they are still in the stage of continuous growth and development, and it is easy to have problems such as colds and fevers.
In fact, fever is not a bad phenomenon, according to the doctor's research and investigation found that the human body can use the high temperature in the body when fever, the body inside many external invading bacteria and viruses to eliminate, which for the further health and healing of the body can play a good role.
In life, many parents often have a feeling of helplessness when their children have a fever, and do not know what kind of medicine to choose to alleviate their children's symptoms in time.
For children with fever, choose antipyretic and pain-relieving medicines to pay attention to the following points.
First, the examination of the cause is the key
In fact, when choosing medications to treat your child, the most critical point is to check the cause of your child first. We all know that we must prescribe the right medicine to achieve double the effect with half the effort, in order to better alleviate the child's symptoms in a timely manner.
Often some parents blindly give their children medicine when they do not know the cause of their children's illness. This not only does not play a role in treating the child's disease, but may also have a certain impact and damage on other parts of the child's body.
Therefore, when parents find that their children have symptoms of headache and fever, they must check for it at the first time. You can choose to do your own examination or go to the hospital for laboratory tests. Because there are many reasons for human fever.
It may be caused by the infection of bacteria and viruses in the external environment, or it may be caused by changes in the temperature of the external environment, or it may be caused by different reasons such as allergies. Therefore, parents should have a comprehensive understanding and examination of their children's symptoms before taking the drug.
This is not only more conducive to the doctor's treatment and diagnosis, but also a key step that can speed up the progress of treatment.
Second, do not forget the medication conditions
After a meticulous and comprehensive examination, the medication can be administered to the symptoms.
There are also many precautions when taking drugs, the first thing to pay attention to is that all symptoms must be treated with drugs, and in the face of some relatively weak diseases, they can heal themselves without drugs.
Because it is a three-point poison, that is to say, the more drugs are used, the more they will play a role. Before taking the drug, we must pay attention to the child's condition, usually the child has a fever of more than 38.5 degrees before the use of fever reducer.
Before changing the temperature, the child can be cooled down by some physical means, and the child can be wiped with alcohol or hot water to cool down. However, if the child's temperature will further rise, it is necessary to take medicine at the first time, or go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
Third, rational use of drugs is very important
Finally, there is the point of attention to medication, and rational medication is very important. There are many kinds of antipyretic and analgesic drugs on the market, the effects of these drugs are very different, and the applicable populations and precautions are also very different, so this requires parents to take drugs reasonably.
Our common antipyretic drugs in life are acetaminophen. There are many types of drugs on the market that contain this drug ingredient, and there are capsules for oral administration and tablets that can be chewed. However, there are also commonly used drugs such as ibuprofen.
The drugs commonly used for labor pain are vitamin C silver warp tablets, aspirin and so on. Parents must first clarify the dosage of these drugs before using them, especially for younger children, and pay attention to the dosage problem.
Because the gastrointestinal function of children is relatively weak, it has not yet formed. Therefore, if the intake of too much medicine will have a certain threat to the child's stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal irritation, and is not conducive to the child's physical health.
The second point is to focus on the reactions and effects between drugs. Many parents will give their children multiple drugs at the same time, and this combination of drugs should be paid special attention. Because different drug components are different, the pharmacology of drugs is also different, it is likely that two or more will produce a certain conflict, which is also very detrimental to the child's health.
The third point is the symptoms of adverse reactions and allergies. For some children with weak immunity or allergies, it is likely that allergic symptoms of drugs will occur, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rash and blisters on the skin, which require parents to pay special attention.
summary
In summary, we have learned that the child's medication is very complicated, and parents must not be too blindly anxious in life. After clarifying the cause of the child's illness, the correct treatment of the drug should be carried out, and the problem of drug safety should also be paid attention to.
