The right way to give your baby (children) medicine

Can't hold the nose hard

Children are often reluctant to take medications when they are sick. Even small mouths are tightly closed. Many parents can only force the baby's nose to force them to open their mouths and quickly pour the medicine into their mouths. In doing so, it is easy to get into the trachea. In severe cases, it will cause damage to the lungs.

Modest encouragement and praise can sometimes make children take medicine. However, if the child does not eat soft and hard, he will not take any medicine. Hard irrigation is not a solution. Even if it is irrigation, it is generally necessary to feed the medicine from one side of the mouth, and it is not appropriate to directly inject it from the center of the mouth, and it is even more inappropriate to move too much. Also avoid lying on the medicine, if the child is small, should pick up the child obliquely, use a dropper or syringe to feed the drug. If older children want to eat capsules, they should pay attention to swallowing the drugs. It is best to put the capsules into their mouths, and then swallow them with a bit of water to avoid swelling of the capsules in front of the mouth. .

No time to take medicine

When it is time to give drugs to children, parents are often not sure. Before dinner? After dinner? Or do you want to eat it? It doesn't seem to make a difference. In fact, different drugs have to be eaten at different times, otherwise the efficacy is difficult to guarantee.

How many times a day to eat the medicine, when to eat, as long as the doctor has to explain, they should strictly follow the doctor's advice. If the doctor does not specify the time for taking the medicine, it is generally eaten after a meal. It is advised not to use fasting medicine as fast as possible, including digestive medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, antiviral medicines, and drugs that enhance resistance. Some explanations are not very clear. If you eat once a day, it means that the days of continuous medication are fixed in the morning or in the evening, and it is recommended that you take medication before going to bed at around 8pm.

Can't mix drugs together

Some parents are greedy and convenient. They mix anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-viral drugs, and cough syrup into one cup and drink it for the entire child. In this way, it will also affect the medicinal efficacy, and may also produce other chemical reactions.

The medicine should be one after another and then another. Do not mix, but it is not necessary to have a few minutes between the two medicines. However, for the tablets must be finely ground, and drink water after mixing well, anti-fever medicines such as a kind of suspension must first shake and then drink, or else it will not achieve a certain degree of efficacy.

Drug amount cannot be reduced

The abuse of antibiotics has caused many parents to fear the use of drugs. However, when a child is sick and cannot take medicine, some parents have come up with ways to reduce the dose. For example, if you want to eat 5 ml at a time and only eat 3 ml, or you can say that the drug can eat 7-10 ml, you only eat 7 ml. Trying to pick a small amount to eat, which will make the drug effect will be reduced accordingly, and easy to produce resistance.

If parents are not sure how much medicine to feed, they can usually take the median of the normal range. But do not take it for granted to reduce the dose, because on the one hand, the dose indicated on the drug description is very safe, on the other hand there may be some medicine residues in the spoon or cup wall during the feeding process. Overweight children may take high doses within the normal range of medications to avoid insufficiency of medication.

Drugs can not be abandoned halfway

The so-called "half-passing" means that some parents slam the drug into the child's mouth and the child will spit it out or spit it on the teeth and cheeks, and swallow it. Not only is the medicine wasted, but it has to be done all over again.

Do not stop the spoon or measuring cup in the oral cavity for a while until the swallowing is done. After feeding, you need to check the child's mouth and see if the medicine stays on the teeth and cheeks. To allow better absorption of the drug, do not drink too much water within half an hour after the cough syrup has been drunk. The antipyretic drug, on the contrary, is a good thing to drink plenty of water after taking it. In addition, sore throat, cough children try not to eat sugar after taking medication, so as not to aggravate the symptoms
