After the New Year, the new crown virus seems to disappear from people's lives, and everything seems to return to before the epidemic.
In fact, when it was first released, people were still very panicked, especially families with children.
At that time, antigens, masks, and drugs were relatively scarce, and adults were fine, but if children were infected with the virus, medication was indispensable.
But at that time, children's drugs were very difficult to buy, especially children's fever reducing drugs, basically could not be bought, a bottle of children's fever reducers was even fried by scalpers to 3,000 yuan.
Some parents really can't buy children's fever-reducing drugs, so they use adult drugs to halve for their children, which is actually a great risk.
Some children have a high fever of 40 degrees and do not subside, and the parents are anxious to start the superimposed use of multiple drugs, but the fever does not subside, but let the child go to the hospital;
Others don't know that the child is allergic to some drug ingredients, and reckless use causes the child's mouth to be red and swollen, aggravating the condition...
The disease is in the child's body, and the anxiety is in the parents' heart.
Once the child has a headache and brain fever, the parents must be anxious like ants on the hot pot, but at this time, if the medicine is used indiscriminately, it will pose a threat to the child's health.
Essential knowledge of drugs for parents
1 Drugs should not be mixed indiscriminately
As soon as the child gets sick, many parents are very anxious, and when taking medicine, they will give the child a little symptomatic medicine, hoping that the child's illness will get better quickly.
As everyone knows, the components of some drugs coincide, and if both are used, it may increase the burden on the child's liver and kidneys.
For example, the common antipyretic ingredient acetaminophen, which is what we often call the children's antipyretic drug Tylenolin, is also contained in some commonly used compound cold medicines, such as pediatric aminophen xanamine granules.
If you take both drugs at the same time, you may have some adverse drug reactions to your child.
2 You cannot increase or decrease the amount of medicine by yourself
Some parents see that their children's symptoms are more serious, and they will increase the amount of medication on their own, or reduce the amount of medication when they see that their child's symptoms are mild.
In fact, if the amount of drug is not enough, it will not work at all, and frequent multiple medications, it will also increase the burden on the child's liver and kidneys; Overdose of drugs can easily increase adverse reactions to drugs and cause health risks.
Therefore, when using drugs for children, you must follow the doctor's advice, carefully read the instructions, and use the medicine accurately.
3 Do not use adult medications
Some people have misconceptions about adult drugs and children's drugs, thinking that it is only the difference in drug content, and it is okay to reduce the amount of adult drugs to children.
In fact, some adult drugs will contain ingredients prohibited by children, which are not suitable for children at all, and it is difficult to master the dosage for children, which is easy to cause adverse drug reactions in overdose.
4 Understand your child's drug reaction
When visiting a doctor in the hospital, the doctor will ask the child every time whether there is a history of drug allergies, many parents do not know about this, and some doctors will let the child eat first, and stop the drug if there is an adverse reaction.
But there are hundreds of children's drugs in the world, it is impossible to let children try every drug, and the adverse reactions of drugs are mild and severe, ranging from fever, headache, rash, etc., to liver and kidney damage, cardiovascular damage, and more serious even deafness or death!
I believe that no parent wants to let their child take this risk, because it will ruin the child's life.
It would be great to know in advance which drug your child has an adverse reaction to.
In fact, this is really possible!
The body's drug metabolism capacity is affected by genetic factors, that is, as long as the relevant genes of related drugs are detected, the metabolic capacity of related drugs can be known.
