Prevent accidental ingestion in children
1. Parents should place the drugs in a place where the child cannot get it, rather than a "hidden place", put the drugs in a fixed medicine box and lock it, and put away the remaining drugs immediately after taking the medicine.
Among the occurrence of drug poisoning in children, the incidence is high in people aged 1 to 4 years. As the child grows older, the range of activities increases, curiosity increases, and he learns to use tools and think of ways, places that were not reached in the past can now be obtained, places that were not interested in the past may now become the target of his exploration, desktops, backpacks, drawers that are not high enough, are not safe places to store drugs.
Medicine should be stored in a drawer high enough outside your child's line of sight, or in a locked drawer and chest.
2. Use children's safety medicine bottles to place medicines to avoid children from easily opening the medicine bottles.
A "Report on the Status quo of children's drug safety" jointly released by a number of professional institutions shows that in the case of child poisoning, drug poisoning accounts for more than 40%, 81.4% of children's drug poisoning is caused by children's own mistaken taking, and what is more frightening is that 99% of young children can open ordinary medicine bottles within two seconds.
3, whether it is a pill or vitamin capsule, do not leave them on the dining table or coffee table and other placed food positions;
4, reasonable storage of drugs, it is best to store children's and adult drugs separately, and to regularly check the expiration date of drugs;
5. When the child is sick and taking medicines, he should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and should not rely on experience to give the child to take.
6, parents should instill the correct concept to the child, the drug is not "sugar", syrup and other liquid drugs are not "delicious", "sweet water" and "sugar water", food, drugs are not confused, in order to avoid accidental taking, tell the child that "drugs are not candy, can not take it themselves."
General medications are taken by mistake
1. Mistakenly taking general drugs
If it is determined that the child mistakenly took a general drug, such as vitamins with small toxic side effects, cough syrup, etc., and the dose is not large, parents can immediately use the emetic method at home to make the drugs stored in the stomach that have not yet been digested and absorbed spit out. In order to better induce vomiting, you can let the child drink some water, repeatedly induce vomiting several times, and let the child drink more cold boiled water to accelerate the elimination of the drug from the urine.
2. Mistakenly taking drugs with dose restrictions
Some drugs have strong side effects and toxicity, and there is a certain dose limit. Examples include sleeping pills, certain antispasmodics, antipyretic analgesics, antibiotics and contraceptives. Take the instructions and drugs of the child to the hospital in time to take the drug by mistake, do not delay the time, should quickly send the child to the hospital for professional treatment, do not induce vomiting on your own to avoid causing aspiration.
3. Mistakenly taking corrosive drugs
If the child mistakenly takes a corrosive drug, such as iodine alcohol drugs, every second must be competed, and immediately drink starchy liquids such as rice soup and noodle soup; If you come to Suer, you can drink egg whites, milk, flour paste to protect the gastric mucosa; If it is a strong acid, the gastric tube is prohibited to avoid damage to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, and lime water, soapy water, and raw egg white should be taken immediately to protect the gastric mucosa; If it is a strong base, vinegar, orange juice, lemonade, etc. should be taken immediately, and then immediately sent to the hospital.
After the initial treatment at home, it is timely sent to the hospital for the next step of treatment. Remember not to forget to bring your child's wrong medicine, bottle or bag when you come to the hospital for the doctor to identify and take targeted treatment measures.
