What problems should children pay attention to when using drugs?

Question 1: What are the precautions for children to use drugs? Children are in the period of growth and development, the nervous system, endocrine system and many organs are underdeveloped, and the detoxification function of liver and kidney and the role of blood-brain barrier are not perfect. Therefore, medication must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, especially the following "four taboos": First, avoid abusing vitamins. Don't think that taking vitamins is good for children. In fact, it is not good to eat too much, such as vitamin A and vitamin D. Eating too much will lead to anorexia, fever, irritability, crying, hepatomegaly and kidney damage. Vitamin C has many uses, but taking it in large quantities can also cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, as well as drug poisoning. Second, avoid abusing antibiotics. Whatever the reason, don't use chloramphenicol and streptomycin as soon as the child gets sick. If antibiotics such as streptomycin, neomycin, gentamicin and kanamycin are used for a long time, it will affect the auditory nerve and cause dizziness, tinnitus and even deafness. Use of chloramphenicol may lead to aplastic anemia. Children under 8 years old, especially newborns, take tetracycline and oxytetracycline, which can easily lead to yellowing of teeth and hypoplasia of enamel, so children do not need tetracycline and oxytetracycline. Avoid abusing antipyretic and analgesic drugs. The causes of children's fever are very complicated, which may be common cold, tonsillitis, measles, pneumonia, meningitis and other serious diseases. Abuse of antipyretic and analgesic drugs before finding out the cause will cover up the condition, hinder the correct diagnosis and delay the treatment. Especially when children have a high fever, if antipyretic and analgesic drugs are used improperly, it will also lead to increased sweating, sudden drop in body temperature and collapse. Four avoid abusing gamma globulin. Some people take gamma globulin as a tonic, but its main function is to prevent measles, hepatitis A, mumps and polio. The prevention and control effect of other infectious diseases is unreliable. Because gamma globulin is made from human blood or placental blood, abuse may cause side effects such as urticaria, so it cannot be abused as a tonic.

Question 2: What problems should children pay attention to after taking drugs? First of all, it depends on what kind of medicine, such as penicillin, can not be eaten casually, easy to be allergic.

Question 4: What should I pay attention to when using drugs in children with acute upper respiratory tract infection? 1. Drug types are consistent with age, and there is no contraindication for children;

2, the dosage is consistent with the weight, and it is not allowed to exceed the dosage;

3. Pay attention to the expiration date of drugs and don't eat expired drugs;

4, pay attention to drug contraindications, do not eat taboo food or drink.

Question 5: What problems should we pay attention to when using drugs safely at home? Myth 1 of 50 words: too much dosage

Usually, the therapeutic dose can achieve good results, and if taken in excess, it will cause poisoning, especially for the elderly and children. But some people increase the dose at will, which is very dangerous.

Myth 2: The dosage is too small. Some people think that small doses are safer in order to prevent diseases or fear adverse drug reactions. In fact, this is not only ineffective, but also delays the illness and even produces drug resistance.

Myth 3: The curative effect of intermittent medication mainly depends on its constant concentration in blood. If you don't take the medicine on time and reach the effective concentration, you may not be able to control the development of the disease. Myth 4: Time misplacement Many people take medicine during the day and ignore the evening. Some drugs should be taken twice a day, 1 time per 12 hours, and some 1 time per 8 hours, but patients often take them at three meals, so that the blood drug concentration is too high during the day and very low at night, which affects the curative effect.

Myth # 5: It takes some time to show the curative effect by changing the medicine at will, such as typhoid fever for 3~7 days and tuberculosis for half a year. If changing dressing at will complicates the treatment, it will be difficult to find out the cause and deal with it in time.

Myth 6: Insufficient treatment. Medication takes some time. For example, urinary tract infection takes 7~ 10 days to heal. If you take the medicine for two or three days and the symptoms are relieved, it can become a chronic infection.

Myth 7: General drugs should stop taking drugs when they achieve the expected curative effect, otherwise it will cause adverse reactions such as double infection, dependence and accumulation poisoning.

Myth # 8: Stop taking drugs suddenly. Many chronic diseases, such as psychosis, epilepsy, depression, hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc. It is necessary to consolidate the curative effect through long-term drug control. Drug withdrawal should be carried out step by step under the guidance of a doctor. Don't stop taking the medicine without authorization. Otherwise, it will easily lead to recurrence and even life-threatening.

Myth 9: Children who take adult drugs have poor liver and kidney function and weak detoxification function. For example, norfloxacin (norfloxacin) can cause joint lesions in children and affect cartilage development, so it should be banned. Myth 10: Some people suffer from intractable diseases for a long time, and often find remedies and prescriptions to use. In this way, many people get worse, lose the chance of surgery, and even get worse, which is difficult to treat.

To improve self-care ability, we must get out of the misunderstanding of family medication and use drugs scientifically and rationally, which is also responsible for the health of ourselves and our families. It is suggested to pay attention to "Big Baiyao Box", the best platform for family medication management.

Question 6: What are the precautions for children to use drugs? 2. Pay attention to the dosage. The difference between children and adults is not a simple difference in height, weight and appearance; Moreover, the tissue structure and functional development of systems and organs in vivo are also different, and we can't just think that the dosage is different. Of course, children use less drugs than adults, but some drugs may be larger than adults if they are calculated according to the weight per kilogram. Therefore, we must pay attention to the dosage, distinguish between each dose and daily dose, and take the medicine according to the doctor's advice. 3. Adults can't give drugs to children casually. Not only the size of drugs, but also some adult drugs, which are not good for children. For example, some cough medicines for adults contain codeine, which is not suitable for children. Children's systems are underdeveloped, especially the liver and kidney related to drug metabolism. Improper medication will affect liver and kidney function. Some drugs have an impact on hearing, but children are not easy to reflect and are prone to deafness. 4. There are medication methods: in principle, problems that can be solved orally do not require intramuscular injection; If the problem can be solved by intramuscular injection, do not use intravenous administration; The side effects or adverse reactions caused by injecting drugs are serious, and the possibility of accidents is high. 5. Pay attention to the method of taking medicine. In order to reduce the stomach, some drugs should be taken after meals; But for infants and young children, vomiting is often because they are unwilling to take medicine, and taking medicine after meals is sometimes inappropriate. Some drugs are well absorbed under strong acidity, while others are poorly absorbed. For example, calcium is well absorbed under acidic conditions, but if it is taken with milk, it is easy to form blood clots and stick to the bottle, which will affect absorption. The dosage of children's medicine is small, so it is best to dilute it with water and feed it directly. Don't put it in the bottle, it's easy to get stuck in the bottle, and it's hard to ensure that it's all fed. Some drugs can undergo chemical changes through milk.
