common cold for children
Parents feed 7 medicines in 2 days, causing liver damage to
Recently, due to the sharp drop in temperature, an 11-year-old girl Guoguo (pseudonym) developed cold symptoms such as sore throat after catching a cold. After the parents fed Guoguo four medicines, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicines, and pharyngitis medicines purchased by themselves, Guoguo vomited and abdominal pain.
However, the parents did not send their children to the hospital in time, but believed that the drugs they took before were not effective, so they also purchased three other drugs such as antiviral cold medicine and stomach medicine for Guoguo to take. When they saw that the symptoms had not improved, they looked for medical treatment.
Discovered by the doctor that Guoguo had severe liver function damage due to taking a variety of drugs and needed to be hospitalized for treatment, and symptomatic support treatment such as liver protection. At present, the child is still undergoing further treatment and observation...
This news has become a hot search, and many netizens expressed helplessness:
Common cold is a serious illness;
1 day, this little symptom may be cured without taking medicine and drinking more water for a few days, but now it is done;
Parents are too anxious!
In this regard, Li Xin, deputy chief physician of the pediatrics department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, expressed a point of view: When it comes to the child getting sick, parents sometimes should not be too "green-hearted", listen carefully to the doctor's words, and don't backfire.
Have a cold for 7 days if you take medicine, but you will get a cold for one week without taking medicine?
She told top news· Henan Business Daily Aunt Bao, there are many such parents in the outpatient clinic. "Some children start taking medication after they just have a little drain, or cough twice a little occasionally."
Li Xin said that there is actually no need to worry. In this case, the symptoms themselves are milder, and the human body itself has resistance. Generally speaking, you can choose physical methods first, such as drinking some hot water, wearing warmer, rubbing the soles of your children's hands and feet, etc., which are better health care methods. If you run into clear water, you can boil some scallion and white water and add some ginger for your child to drink.
It should be noted that if the child has poor physical condition and is prone to asthma as soon as he catches a cold, or has had pneumonia within half a year, he will relapse with allergic rhinitis ... Then you may need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
"So, it is wrong to take medicine to have a cold for 7 days, but not take medicine to have a cold for a week. If the symptoms are serious, don't bear it." Li Xin said that especially the runny nose, the symptoms are very serious, which has seriously affected the child's breathing and sleep and daily feeding. It is still necessary to follow the doctor's instructions to relieve the symptoms of the cold.
2 medicines should not be taken randomly by
In order to prevent unprepared needs, many families often have various cold medicines and antipyretics, but Li Xin reminds that it is not recommended to take medicine without authorization, especially taking several medicines at once.
For example, some children have poor fever-reducing medicine after taking one fever-reducing medicine, and parents immediately change to their children another fever-reducing medicine, or cold medicine, which may cause repeated ingredients and overdose of the medicine.
According to reports, there are two types of antipyretic drugs that children usually use, acetaminophen and ibuprofen . However, it is difficult for some children to take oral medication. Parents like to put antipyretic ducts on their children. Pay attention to the ingredient of antipyretic ducts. Acetaminophen is also acetaminophen. If the child takes acetaminophen and then adds suppository , the amount will be overdue at this time.
Generally speaking, it is recommended to take only one antipyretic during the fever, unless there is no effect after taking it, and after two hours, high fever and convulsions .Even if the antipyretic drugs have no obvious effect, at least you have to wait for this drug to pass one half-life of to take another antipyretic drug. This period is about 4 to 6 hours.
"Also, many parents think that the side effects of Chinese patent medicines are small, so they are not very vigilant, but in fact they are not." She told the top news·Henan Business Daily reporter that although Chinese medicine is relatively safe, there are some Chinese patent medicines that children cannot take.
For example, some drugs are added with ephedrine or poppy shells. "There is a cough-relieving medicine called cough-relieving phlegm . A parent of a child once took it and thought it was very effective, so he gave it to his child. However, this medicine contains poppy shells. Poppy shells are forbidden for under 18 years old, so we should pay attention to the ingredients when giving medicine to children."

When you become a mother, especially a full-time mother, all your thoughts will be on the child. If the child feels a little uncomfortable, mothers may feel that "the sky is falling." I blame myself and feel that I am not taking good care of myself, and I am determined to let the child get better at once, or I want to suffer for her.
In fact, when a child is sick, the first thing mothers should do is be rational, don’t panic, seek medical treatment in time, and following doctors’ advice is the most important thing. Instead of taking it for granted, trying all folk remedies, ancient prescriptions, etc. to give children medicine without authorization.
You must know that all diseases need a process to cure.
