Parents which are not panicked when he saw his son's fever. When touched, caressed or even carrying his son, sudden high temperature which is not usually palpable in her son's skin. Usually a number of parents went frantic, then run to the box of supplies of medicines and take one spoon of antibiotic medications containing paracetamol fever even combined with medications containing ibuprofen simultaneously for the sake of mute panic. But based on the study of the United States, combining these two drugs it will thus lengthening the healing and risky against children's health.
In the study, a number of specialist child involved revealed that many parents give children medications with dose. It includes initiatives combining both the drug as lowering fever. Indeed as the embodiment of the dear children, drug fever-lowering effort soon is good, but it should be noted that parents still think clearly and not panic, so avoid drug errors. It is also often times I emphasize with any parents who brought his fever to the clinic.
Keep in mind that fever is not a disease, but rather a mechanism in the body against bacterial infections or viruses that get inside the body. Give the wrong dose of medication with precisely will strengthen the disease.
Some of the doctors I have ever met is indeed advocated the granting of paracetamol and ibuprofen doses sufficient to minimize the side effects of fever in children. However, according to the rules of the treatment of The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), drug use should consider the severity of the fever. My advice, always measure your child's body temperature with the thermometer at the moment of palpable temperature higher than your hands so that it is not an error of perception.
The use of a second medication that's only recommended when the child's fever does not go down after eating one of these two drugs. Based on The British National Formulary, your doctor may not prescribe more than four doses of paracetamol for a period of 24 hours, and no more than four doses of ibuprofen per day.
During this time, the popular error was giving children doses of drugs for adults. It's not just the age, parents are also obliged to take into consideration the child's posture. The dose should be reduced from the standard for kids with smaller posture, although of the same age. Doses of the febrifuge were considering weight calculations 10 to 15 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. For the method of calculating the overdose please read on Tutorial-lowering Drug Doses Fever following Child.
The excessive granting of paracetamol can cause asthma. While excessive ibuprofen can cause inflammatory bowel disease and bleeding. Therefore, parents must be more careful about giving the drug in children. Keep the medicine out of reach of children so as to avoid the side effect of drug in excess of the dose.
