To my great regret, sometimes to cure a child with the help of raspberry alone or honey is unreal. In addition, it is necessary to give the baby not just drugs, but antibiotics, the use of which often frightens parents. Sometimes they are the only correct way out, but despite their numerous virtues, they also have a number of side effects. Therefore, to answer the question of what antibiotics can be given to children, only a doctor should. Since the young organism can not always cope with the consequences of the use of such drugs, the appointment of a pediatrician depends on various factors - the age of the child, the presence of temperature, the course of the disease, as well as the general condition of the baby. And you, for the safe treatment of a child, should only follow the recommendations given by the doctor.
When do children get antibiotics?
Bacteria have the property of adapting to the action of drugs. That is why, do not use antibiotics as a prophylaxis. This can only harm your child's health. The use of antibiotics in the treatment of children is justified in the following cases:
- acute infectious diseases;
- after surgery;
- with diseases of the ENT organs;
- in the chronic course of the disease;
- when poisoning the body with toxins of bacteria.
Antibiotics are available in the form of tablets, capsules, drops, syrups, as well as in the form of an ointment or liquid for injection. For the treatment of antibiotics, children usually use a syrup with fruit taste, although sometimes it is necessary to do injections, which is a more painful, but very effective method.
How many days should I take antibiotics to my baby?
The course of treatment is usually about five days. But it should be noted that antibiotics for children have begun to appear recently, which can help in a shorter time - from one to three days. Long-term use of these drugs, without the advice of a doctor, can lead to allergies or dysbiosis, so do not resort to self-treatment. Also, in cases of improvement, it is prohibited to cancel antibiotics on their own, as the weakened organism of the child can not completely kill the infection.
How to restore the health of a child after taking antibiotics?
Antibiotics, in the process of affecting pathogens, can also disrupt the beneficial intestinal microflora. As a result, there may be various problems with the intestine. The most frequent consequences of taking antibiotics in children include dysbacteriosis.
After the course of taking antibiotics in the child's body with the help of other medications, it is necessary to create a favorable environment for the growth of beneficial bacteria. Together with this, it is recommended to include in the diet of the baby as much as possible fermented milk products. Kefir, various yogurts, yogurt, of course, will not get rid of problems with the intestines, but they can still support the body.
Antibiotics - this is really the most effective and safe method of fighting various ailments, both for adults and children, if you do not take this medicine at every opportunity, and be guided only by the recommendations of an experienced doctor.
