Children's cold misconception 5

Colds, respiratory infections are the most common pediatric diseases. According to medical observation, a child within a year, often repeated several times as much as a cold, particularly in infants and preschool children colds. Some parents in the treatment of colds and respiratory diseases in children when there are many errors, the experts remind parents to pay attention.
Misconception 1: There is a heavy nasal is a cold?

Especially in young children, especially in an age often will hear a grunt nose, such as respiratory secretions, in which the shuttle, that is, Bishi, of course, a manifestation of sputum (respiratory secretions). The mothers are concerned about your baby a cold, but in fact most are multi-considered. The main reason is just because of the excessive accumulation and slowly dried Nianzhu nasal secretions for the above phenomena, in particular, no fever, activity and other changes, not to worry, as long as the form good habits and a good nose and clean each day, within the secretions of the above would not have happened.
As for what the case is a real rhinitis? The answer is when the doctor found to have inflammation in the nasal cavity, namely, redness, swelling, caused by the increase in nasal secretions when we can come to this diagnosis.
Misconception 2: cold on the use of antibiotics
Virus or bacteria can cause colds. The common cold virus belonging to a cold virus, bacteria, colds are caused by bacterial cold. Antibiotics only for bacterial cold be useful.
In fact, many belong to the common cold virus cold. The strict sense, the right viral influenza, and there is no effective drug, only symptomatic treatment, without the need for the use of antibiotics. You may have had this experience, cold a habit of buying some cold medicine at the pharmacy, while a slight increase in antibiotic use. In fact antibiotics at this time is useless, a waste is also abused.
Misconception 3: There sputum expectoration sound should shoot back?
The so-called respiratory system include: nasal cavity, throat, trachea and bronchi, as well as the lungs, resulting in the location of sputum can be any of the above one, mostly due to infections, such as infection. When the children hear the sound of breathing with sputum, it should first judge themselves or ask doctors to help understand whether there is phlegm ─ ─ that is, in the last position of the throat above, or in the next ─ ─ namely, the trachea or lung, if the former, it not necessary to give shoot sputum, but need to be carefully removed nasal or throat secretions is; Of course, if indeed endotracheal sputum sound, then the rules need to be given shoot sputum.
Misconception 4: injection, "gamma globulin" Prevention of flu
Children often cold, so that parents are anxious, listening to people say that this is a low resistance reasons, RBI, "gamma globulin" will play a role in preventing colds, but the injection of a period of time, but can not see little effect.
"Gamma globulin" is derived from the plasma extract of biological agents, with the present technology, there is still danger of contamination is not 100% secure. Third, only pairs of specific immune globulin less than one of the lack of work, shows that their ability to improve immune function is very limited, let alone play a role in preventing colds.
Experts advise: baby love influenza, find out the reasons is the key: malnutrition caused by decreased immunity, such as a lack of vitamin A; the cold fear of children, some elderly, with a total to cover their baby too Yanyanshishi, so that the child's tolerance is very low , "fragile"; multiple re-use of antibiotics also cause resistance to decline; if not the above reasons, you should consider the disease factors, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis in children is also a love of frequent colds, which requires first the disease cure.
Misconception 5: It is necessary to eat cough cough medicine?
On the human body, the cough is a physiological reflex, when the respiratory tract undue infiltration in the material inhaled or inflammation, then upload this a message to the brain in the medulla oblongata cough vertebrae, causing intense reflection on the campaign aimed at The tracheal foreign body removed, so it would have severe coughing and speed, the air discharged from the depths of the throat, while a foreign body will be emitted.
From the above point of view, cough is a self-protection mechanism, the human body is useful. In addition to first determine the cough with sputum or no sputum cough difference between the outside (the former should increase fluid intake, and to consider whether to use phlegm drugs), the other should also consider a dry cough has caused discomfort in life, if they can not sleep, eat a cough or vomiting they only need to consider the appropriate cough medicines.
