Raising a baby~ Is the experience of others reliable?
Whether in life, study or work, we often use the experience of others to judge whether things are good or bad, make plans for doing things and even make major decisions, especially novice parents (of course, who is not the first time What about the parents?), the steps of "learning skills" and "experience" have been started since the baby is not born: it is as small as whether to choose round or square toys to cultivate the fine hand movements of the baby, to the scary baby with a fever Should physical cooling or chemical cooling or direct emergency treatment...
But you have to admit that everyone’s experience is not always effective: the unanimously praised baby lotion has caused my baby to have a red rash; the doctor prescribed Merrill Lynch relieves the baby’s fever, but the Australian parent of Up has said not to eat Merrill; the little X book recommends that the baby’s first complementary food must be high-speed iron rice noodles, but the baby is diarrhea. Instead, homemade millet porridge can stop the baby’s diarrhea...
Every family has a difficult-to-raise baby. "The lesson from the previous car" may not really be a "seem" with you.
Especially when the baby is sick, it doesn’t get better after taking the medicine for two or three days. I am very anxious and confused. Baidu~Search posts~Mom community: Some people say that they will observe for a few more days, some say that they will increase their doses. There are recommendations for imported drugs...
seems to make sense, but you shouldn’t treat your child as a “test item”.
baby taking medicine problem ~ worrying too!
As most non-medical parents, taking medicine from regular sources is definitely the first and correct choice, but the principle of “three points of poison” also tells us that only rational use of medicine is the best choice for babies .
Babies are in the growth and development period, and various body functions are immature, including organs such as the liver and kidneys responsible for drug metabolism and excretion. Compared with adults, they are still very fragile. Therefore, children are also the main victims of adverse drug reactions. By".
According to the data of the "National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Annual Report" in the past two years: Among patients with adverse drug reactions, children under 14 accounted for 9.8% (2018) and 10.2% (2019), respectively, anti-infective drugs Adverse reactions accounted for 34.8% (2018) and 34.3% (2019) of the total number of reports.
How to make baby safe medication ~ Drug genetic testing
In addition to following the professional pediatrician’s instructions and regularly administering drugs to the baby, parents should also establish a set of "experiences" for their babies’ drug use, including past drug use And the record of the effect 4, you should also understand the influence of genes on the baby's drug metabolism-drug genetic testing is a good reference.
Speaking of genes, most people probably know it: as genetic material, genes not only allow us to inherit or integrate the appearance characteristics of the father or mother, but also affect every aspect of everyone’s body. Genetic diseases are only a small part In more cases, genes instruct the body to synthesize various functional molecules and control the metabolism every minute and every second.
Drugs play a role in the body and need to cooperate with functional molecules in certain organs, such as enzymes in the liver, which are responsible for releasing the active ingredients in the drug, or inactivating the "task-completed" drug components to avoid passing through the blood Spread to other places where no medicine is needed.
is like the difference between double eyelid and single eyelid under the action of genes. The functional molecules controlled by gene synthesis in different humans will also have "disparities in ability". This is the root of "administration of drugs by humans". When
evaluates the effects of drugs on individuals through drug genetic testing, it often guides the use of certain drugs from the comprehensive conclusions of effectiveness, drug dosage, metabolic rate, toxic and side effects, drug resistance, and drug dependence: normal use , Use after adjusting the dose or use with caution.
Many moms and dads know that the dosage of drugs should be adjusted according to the baby’s weight. This is because healthy babies generally have a strong metabolic capacity and require a higher drug concentration to be effective. In addition to physical fitness, certain genetic mutations also It will strengthen or weaken the baby's drug metabolism. The former may result in "slow/ineffective medication", while the latter may damage the organs due to the sustained high drug concentration in the body.
soTong's drug genetic testing allows parents to understand the available drugs for their babies, avoid repeated "testing" and delay treatment, and can also be used as a reference for doctors to choose appropriate drugs and dosages. What parents hope most is for their children to be safe and healthy, but this seemingly "ordinary" wish requires bit by bit "extraordinary" efforts.
