Many medical students have heard teachers talk about this example in school. The child lost his mother's life as soon as he urinated. What was going on?
That was when transportation was not very developed in the early years, there was a mother who lost her husband in the village, pulling the child alone. The child has never had much illness since he was a child, but a cold caused the child to have a high fever.
The next morning, just as the east was polished, the mother took the child to the village gate to take the bus to the county hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that it was tonsillitis after seeing the child. Ask your child if he has any medication allergies. The mother couldn't say that the child was in good health and had never been to see a doctor before. Naturally, she didn't know what the child was allergic to and what was not allergic to.
After the skin test, the nurse looked at it and said that the child was not allergic to penicillin and could be given. Naturally, my mother agreed.
But this penicillin became the key to the death of the mother.
There is still farm work to be done at home, so after the injection, the mother took the child to the bus back to her hometown.
The child wants to pee on the bus. But the road was long and the child was so ineffective that he couldn't hold it in. At this moment, the driver braked and the child urinated. This urine doesn't matter, it can seep the mother's legs.
The mother suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She wiped the child's urine in the car. After a while, the mother felt even more breathless. It might be because there were too many people in the car and there was no window opening, or it might be that she was wearing too thick. I didn't think about my child's urine.
I was two steps away from the entrance of the village, so the mother pulled the child out of the car and wanted to take two steps to suck the air. Not long after getting off the car and leaving, my mother fainted. The child kept crying at the side, but she couldn't open her eyes anymore.
When a kind old man who came back from a fight at the entrance of the village drove the hand tractor to take the mother and mother to the hospital. It was too late.
It turns out that the child is not allergic to penicillin, and the mother is allergic to penicillin. is the penicillin that still remains in the urine, which killed my mother.
Penicillin is very common in life. Usually, our tonsillitis doctors choose to use penicillin for treatment. Because penicillin is an antibiotic , it can have a good bactericidal effect.
Why are many people allergic to penicillin?
This is because penicillin is very easy to decompose, and it will decompose and produce two human allergic substances in our human body - penicillin and penicillin thiazole acid protein. After being exposed to these substances, the human immune system will take urgent action to attack them, which will cause an allergic reaction.
In addition, some people's genetic factors also determine that they are born with penicillin allergies.
Why do I still need to do it when I have the first time I have done the penicillin skin test for the second time?
When we first inject penicillin, there is a possibility that penicillin antibodies are present in our body. When penicillin is injected for the second time, penicillin will be treated as antigen . Penicillin antibodies will work and the human body will have an allergic reaction. The more penicillin injections, the greater the possibility of an allergic reaction.
Sometimes, the penicillin manufacturer is different and the dosage is different, and it is also necessary to do a skin test to test whether the patient is allergic to penicillin.
Then we need to do two penicillin skin tests. Prevent allergic reactions caused by the human body caused by the injection of a comparable amount of penicillin.
even some people were negative during the skin test, and they developed an allergic reaction after injecting penicillin. These people must pay attention! What are the allergic reactions of penicillin?
When penicillin is allergic to allergic reactions will occur within one hour, such as acute urticaria , bronchial asthma , laryngeal edema, allergic shock and other symptoms. After one hour or more days, delayed allergic reactions will occur, such as erythema, maculopapular , erythema , fever, hemolytic anemia , acute interstitial nephritis and so on.
Everyone, please do not take medication allergies seriously. A casual drug allergy may kill you!
The most serious of these allergic reactions is allergic shock . This allergic reaction is manifested as dyspnea, purple complexion, rapid drop in blood pressure, coma, etc. If rescue is not enough and measures are not effective, the patient will have a high probability of dying in a short period of time. In daily life, you should also pay attention to not being exposed to substances that you have allergic reactions. In severe cases, allergic shock will also occur.
The mother in the article was exposed to the baby's urine, that is, the allergic drug penicillin, and in a very short time, the penicillin drug allergic occurred, which caused an allergic shock. No one around was rescued and he lost his life in time.
Penicillin has made outstanding contributions to helping bacterial infections as an antibiotic in clinical practice, but as an allergic to , it can also bring immeasurable damage to people.
In our daily life, we must follow the doctor's advice and follow the advice of professionals. Do not take medicine blindly, if adverse reactions occur, the consequences are immeasurable. When we find that we have a drug reaction, we must call 120 in time or seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Only by cherishing life can you have a better life!
