The Guangdong Food and Drug Administration issued an urgent reminder:
There is a risk! Use with caution!
Social media "three-piece" swipe
As soon as the child coughs, the mother buys a "three-piece set"
Recently, experts from Wuhan Children's Hospital reminded that self-medication is risky, especially drugs such as azithromycin, which need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.
Ms. Zhao, a citizen of Wuhan, has a 4-year-old daughter, on the 24th, she found that her daughter had some cough, thinking of the recent hot "mycoplasma pneumonia ashore tutorial" in the circle of friends, which wrote that cough is a typical symptom of the "incubation period", Ms. Zhao was worried that the child was in this situation, so she bought azithromycin, ibuprofen and methalamine according to the "tutorial" and another Mycoplasma pneumoniae Internet celebrity "three-piece set".
In order to find out her daughter's condition, on October 25, Ms. Zhao took her daughter to Wuhan Children's Hospital for further examination, and the results showed that her daughter was actually infected with the virus.
Doctor's Reminder:
Medications should be taken as prescribed
"The child is so young that he can't give the child medicine by himself according to the 'medication book' on the Internet. In particular, azithromycin, which is an antibacterial drug, is a prescription drug, and should be used according to the doctor's instructions. The doctor reminded Ms. Zhao that even if the child was diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, it was not advisable to follow the online tutorial to take medicine.
According to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children issued by the National Health Commission this year, macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin and clarithromycin are still the preferred drugs for mycoplasma pneumonia in children.
Despite being popular in the circle of friends
Azithromycin also cannot be used on its own
Liu Maochang, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Wuhan Children's Hospital, said that after the doctor's judgment, the child really needs to take azithromycin for anti-infection treatment, and there are still many details that need to be paid attention to.
In general, there are two classical therapies for azithromycin.
Among them, the 3-day therapy is to take the drug at a dose of 10mg/kg for 3 consecutive days, once a day; The 5-day regimen is to take the drug for 5 consecutive days, with a dose of 10 mg/kg on day 1 and 5 mg/kg on days 2 to 5, once a day.
The doctor will adjust the dose and method of taking the medicine according to the child's weight and condition.
Some children who do not respond to azithromycin or who have severe gastrointestinal reactions may consider switching to alternative medications or other treatment options.
Therefore, it is not recommended that parents blindly copy the recommendations on the Internet and self-medicate.
Don't "self-diagnose" your child's fever and cough
If you have these symptoms, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible
Autumn and winter are the periods of high incidence of respiratory diseases in children. The doctor reminded that many respiratory diseases have fever, cough and other manifestations, and parents should not sit down based on symptoms alone to judge that the child is infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, so as not to delay the condition.
Every child has a different condition and needs different medicines, and there is no "cure-all". The use of antimicrobials at will increase the risk of drug resistance in children; In some compound medicines, once the same drug ingredients are used together, it may also damage the child's liver and kidney function. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the atypical pathogens, which is neither a virus nor a bacterium, and has no cell wall, so the use of drugs such as cephalosporin and penicillin to treat mycoplasma pneumonia is not effective.
Children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection have fever and cough as the main clinical manifestations, which may be accompanied by headache, runny nose, sore throat, earache, etc. Persistent high fever suggests a potentially severe illness. The cough is more severe, which can resemble whooping cough, and most children are in good spirits, while infants and young children may have wheezing and dyspnea.
If you notice that your child has a severe cough or high fever, take him to the doctor as soon as possible.
