8 wrong ways of feeding children
1, forced gavage: some parents use their heads, prying their mouths and pinching their noses, and when they breathe in, they pour the medicine into them. It is very dangerous to feed the drug, because when children cry and breathe in, the drugs are very easy to enter the trachea, which can cause choking cough, even cause respiratory obstruction and suffocate death.
2, intimidation compulsion: some parents force their children to take medicine by reprimand, humiliation, intimidation and even scolding. This is a "frost" for a sick child. The child can often cause GI spasm, nausea vomiting, or incontinence, and sometimes make drugs. Get into the trachea.
3, surprise attack: some parents suddenly put drugs into their mouths when they were crying or laughing when they opened their mouths. This approach is very dangerous. Because the child's glottis is in an open state, and suddenly the drug can be inhaled into the trachea.
4, sneak attack: some parents pour their medicine into their mouths when they are asleep. This is even more dangerous. Because the child's throat is narrow, and the development of the nervous system is not perfect, the nerve of the pharynx and larynx in the sleep is suddenly stimulated, and the cough and laryngospasm will occur; if the drug enters the trachea, it can cause asphyxia.
5, guerrilla warfare: some parents adopt the method of "turning the whole into zero" or "turning the zero into the whole", and divide the regular dosage into several times, or combine the two doses into one feeding. This method not only can not receive good therapeutic effect, but also is difficult to ensure the safety of medication.
6, whole medicine crushing clothes: many drugs can not be used to feed the food, such as enteric coated tablets, because the drug is irritating to the stomach, and the drug is decomposed by gastric juice to reduce the effect. If taken after crushing, not only can not achieve the purpose of treatment, but also may cause serious adverse reactions.
7, spoof trick: some parents mix drugs in soy milk, milk or cream cakes, etc. this method is not proper. Because calcium, phosphorus, iron and other ingredients in milk can affect or combine with drug ingredients, which may affect the curative effect or precipitate and affect absorption. Fat and protein in dairy products also affect the absorption of certain drugs. If we deceive many times, children will refuse to eat and picky food.
8, juice delivery: juice is more acidic, and many drugs will be broken down in the acid environment, affecting the absorption and treatment effect, and even to the human body. Such as antibiotics, many anti cold drugs, digestive system medication more acid, or can increase side effects because of acid, especially the stomach, antidiarrheal Chinese medicine, mostly rely on its bitter taste to play the role of treatment, so it is not appropriate to use juice to deliver.
children should be given short-term or temporary medication. If long-term medication is needed, it is necessary to review the condition regularly and adjust it in time to avoid accumulation poisoning and drug dependence. Children, especially newborns, are more sensitive to drugs than adults. It is not correct to estimate children's consumption as a "small adult". A more accurate dose must be calculated by a pediatrician based on the physiological characteristics and drug properties of children and newborns. Otherwise, insufficient dosage will cause the body to produce drug resistance, which will bring difficulties to complete cure. More than children's prescribed dosage will cause poisoning and even cause life danger.
