All small children are ill. But not all parents are able to treat them correctly. Many make mistakes in treatment. What it is mistakes?
Main mistakes
First: suction of snivels. There is a myth that children need to suck away snivels by means of pear. But it is wrong. It is possible to injure so mucous and to strengthen hypostasis. Snivels get in the natural way to a stomach and are neutralized by gastric juice. Or follow outside, and then they need just to be wiped a scarf. If the nose is bunged strongly up, it is possible to drip from the pipette physical. solution. This is the same Aquamaris, is only cheaper much more.
The second, it is not necessary to trust excessively antiviral medicines and to stuff with them children. Believe, the children's organism will perfectly cope also without them. The saying is known: "be treated week, be not treated - seven days"". From all wonderful medicines only Tamiflu is justified and that it should manage to be given to the child during the first hours of a disease, otherwise will not be to sense.
The third mistake: slightly that at once children are given antibiotics. It in general cannot be done! Antibiotics do not influence viruses, and it is possible to give them only in case of flu complications. If high temperature rises longer than 5 days, then on doctor's orders it is necessary to give antibiotics. At a tonsillitis antibiotics are necessary too, but only the doctor can define it.
Often parents, especially grandmothers, seek to feed to a dump of the sick child. But its organism refuses food, and it is natural. It is impossible to feed violently the child but only to give the strengthened drink.
It is clear, if the child has a high temperature, parents seek to reduce it rather. But also here it is possible to go too far. It is necessary to remember what febrifugal cannot be given too often. Paracetamol works 3-4 hours, the Ibuprofen 6-8. Temperature - protective reaction of an organism to a virus therefore to 38.5 it is optional to reduce it. At some children spasms from high temperature begin. But them it is not necessary to be frightened too. It is simple to give to the child more water after and to watch that he was not injured during spasms. Surely the child should be shown to the doctor to exclude epilepsy.
It is not necessary to seek to stuff the child with expectorant medicines at once, such as Lazolvan, Ambroxol, Bromhexine. They dilute a phlegm and increase it in volume. And the child cannot often cough up it. Therefore everything comes to an end with pneumonia.
You should not do to the child steam inhalations. They I promote subsidence of an infection below in airways. It is possible to breathe via the nebulizer and that only sterile physical solution.
It is forbidden to smear tonsils to children with lugol. It can cause excess of iodine in an organism and as a result development of a hypothyroidism and the autoimmune teriodit.
It is worth refusing bathing and walks only at high temperature. In other cases they are useful.
And in all difficult cases it is necessary to call the doctor at once.
