Probably, none of the medicinal preparations causes such an avalanche of disputes, as all known analgin. If its application in cases with ailments in adults does not particularly affect anyone, the situation is relatively different with respect to young patients. Parental forums are a vivid confirmation of this. Moms and dads divided into two polar camps. Some are sure that analgin is contraindicated for children, others are struck by the fact that it is possible to underestimate the likelihood of cramps from heat. In addition, there necessarily will be supporters and opponents of analgin in candles, ampoules and enemas. And how to answer the almost Hamletian question: to be analgin or not to be in the children's home first-aid kit?
The right analgin for life
So, can you give analgin to children? Many parents have a positive experience, allowing them to assert that analgin to children at a temperature helps almost always. If the temperature is very high and nothing else gets knocked out, it is necessary to call an ambulance. Medical assistants offer in such cases analgin with diphenhydramine to children in the form of an injection. To injection of analgin and papaverine, dimedrol is added to the child in order to prevent the appearance of edema. In this case, diphenhydramine acts as an antihistamine drug. Officially analgin in ampoules for children is prohibited, but if the mother writes the appropriate receipt, then the injection will be done. Note, the prick is very painful, so a slow introduction is recommended.
This form of analgin, like candles for children, is preferable. They are really able to help reduce heat, are easy to use, give a lasting result, and side effects are minimal.
Analgin dosage for children
The dosage of analgin for children can be determined independently, as the number and frequency of reception are described in the annotation to the drug. For example, candles should not be used as planned, that is, according to the scheme, but symptomatically. Parents should understand that analgin does not cure the child, does not eliminate the cause, but only temporarily relieves pain, temperature, discomfort. An important rule when using suppositories of analgin is preliminary defecation. This is due to the fact that if a child shakes after the introduction of a candle, then there will be no effect, and the introduction of another candle is fraught with an overdose. For children up to a year, half of the suppository is enough, up to three years - one candle, up to seven years - two candles per day. Do not expect that the effect will be instantaneous, because the candles last longer.
A good result can be achieved if you put an enema with analgin to a child. For this use both tablets and ampoules with analgin. If you use analgin for children in tablets, then half the tablets should be diluted and mixed with 500 ml of warm boiled water. The proportions for analgin in ampoules are as follows: 100 ml of water and one ampoule of the drug.
Outlaw
It's no secret that analgin is a drug with a lot of side effects. Among them, allergic reactions, oppression of the hematopoietic function. If analgin is used with other medicines (pain medication, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, sedative), then its toxic effect increases. In some countries, this drug is prohibited. We are treated with caution. But what remains to be done if other medicines are powerless before heat, fever, pain and cramps? In any case, a visit to a doctor at a high temperature can not be postponed, and if it is a question of small children, it is absolutely unacceptable. In addition to cramps, which in themselves are already dangerous, the temperature can lead to terrible consequences.
