Mini physical problems are inevitable, but if these minor problems appear on children, it is particularly heartbreaking, especially for novice parents, who are extremely anxious to see their children have a cold and fever, so they quickly ran to the hospital overnight and even went to the emergency room.
However, for doctors who receive hundreds of patients every day, a normal disease such as a cold and fever in children is not considered a disease at all. As parents gradually gain more experience in raising children, they no longer feel afraid or panic about their children's minor illnesses, and often have cold medicines at home to easily solve these problems.
Families with children will definitely prepare a small medicine box, put various medicines that the child has taken, and each medicine is matched well, write the dosage, mark which disease is good, and you can find a little when the child has a cold and runny nose. In most cases, this method can solve 80% of the child's disease problems.
But slowly, this disadvantage has gradually emerged. Abuse of drugs and excessive doses have a great impact on the child's physical and psychological state. As a special group of medications, children must pay moderate attention to the safety of medications.
Even some parents think that they have raised their children and become half a doctor. They use medicine randomly without consulting the doctor because the child is young and his body and organs are not mature. For children of different weight, height and age groups, the medications and dosages they take are very different.
Survey and research shows that there are about 30,000 children in my country every year, and their lives are ruined due to improper use of medicine, so parents must stop using experience to use medicine for their children.
In addition, some drugs that have long been blacklisted by children's pharmacists should also be aware of as soon as possible and don't be foolish in feeding the children medicine.

5 major misunderstandings about children's medication use, have parents been caught?
Misconception 1: Take medicine with juice
Many parents use juice to give their children medicine, or immediately drink juice and eat fruits after taking medicine. This is actually not good, because most juices contain vitamin C and fruit acid, which will cause some drugs to decompose or dissolve in advance, which is not conducive to the absorption of drugs in the small intestine and affect the efficacy of drugs.
Misconception 2: Whenever you cough, you will get cough medicine
Cough is divided into two categories: dry cough, wet cough, dry cough is often the upper one, The initial manifestation of lower respiratory tract infection . If the cough severely affects sleep, you can use some cough medicine
Cough with sputum is called wet cough. It is not recommended to use cough medicine, mainly to resolve phlegm and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. Currently, common cough medicines often contain strong central antitussive ingredients. Although they have strong cough-relieving effects, long-term use is addictive. Excessive use will also lead to sputum blockage, affecting the absorption of lung inflammation, and delaying the condition.
Misconception 3: Abuse of antipyretic drugs
Hydrought is a necessary protection mechanism for the human body. Some young mothers think that if your child has a fever, he will be cured by taking some antipyretic medicine.Therefore, they give their children antipyretic medicine at any time. In fact, this approach is inappropriate and can easily cause illusions to conceal the condition and affect the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Under normal circumstances, children have a lot of activity and need to dissipate heat, so their body temperature is generally high. As long as the body temperature of children under three years old does not exceed 38 degrees, they generally do not recommend getting antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be used to slowly reduce heat.
Misconception 4: Reduce the dosage of adult medicines for adults and take
Many parents do not understand the way of taking medicines for children. According to their own experience in using medicine, there are also many parents who can halve the adult medicines for their children to take. There are also many parents who do not know that all systems of children are not developed and rashly using adult medicines can still cause harm to them. There are statistics on how to have adverse reactions in children's medications than adults. Parents are reminded here to choose a dosage form for children as much as possible to avoid burdening the liver and kidneys of the children.
Misconception 5: Frequent use of drugs
No matter what kind of drugs it is, the number of times and dosage of children are required. In order to enable their children to recover quickly, some parents will arbitrarily increase the number of times they use drugs, or increase the dose of the children, which will increase the burden on the body and may even cause side effects.
