2. The misunderstanding of cold in winter
1, with compound cough and cold medicine. "Compound" means that a medicine contains a variety of effective ingredients, but compound cough and cold medicine belongs to what we often say, "treating symptoms rather than curing the root cause", which will not eliminate the cause, but only relieve the discomfort symptoms such as cough and runny nose caused by a cold. Different pharmaceutical companies may produce compound cough and cold medicines containing the same ingredients, but selling them in pharmacies with different trade names can easily lead to overdose.
2, use "anti-inflammatory drugs" when you have a cold and fever. "Anti-inflammatory drugs" are antibiotics. Antibiotics are actually not aimed at cold viruses, but at bacterial infections. More than 90% of colds are caused by viruses. Therefore, colds usually do not use antibiotics, and abuse of antibiotics often leads to antibiotic resistance.
3, the baby has a fever and has a fever needle. Now some parents may not correctly realize that fever is the cause of body immunity, and think that high fever is a very serious disease, so they choose the way of quick decision, that is, injection to reduce fever. The mechanism of antipyretic needle is to inhibit the fever center, which actually inhibits the immunity, making the baby's body unable to fight this disease, and the virus is easy to cause infection in the body.
4, the baby coughs too much and can't stop coughing. Cough itself is not a disease, but a symptom of many respiratory diseases, which is a way for the body to protect itself. By coughing, foreign bodies or secretions in the respiratory tract are excreted. If you force your baby to take cough and cold medicine, it will cause sputum to stay in the body, but it will easily lead to more serious respiratory infectious diseases such as pneumonia.
