    If you mistakenly take general drugs, such as vitamins, stomach medicines, tonic medicines, and health care drugs, because these drugs are small, you don't need to do special treatment, as long as you drink more boiled water and let the drugs be diluted and excreted. If you mistakenly take a drug with a certain amount of poison. Parents should quickly look for the bottle or instructions of the wrong medication, find out the name and dosage of the mistaken drug, observe the symptoms of poisoning, and then treat the symptoms.

    If it is antipyretic analgesics, antitussive and phlegm drugs, contraceptives, hypnotics, antibacterial drugs, etc., excessive dosage will produce different degrees of toxic side effects, such as paleness, dizziness and drowsiness, or palpitation, abdominal pain, irritability, etc., at this time, the vomiting method should be decisively adopted to promote the rapid vomiting of the drug and reduce absorption. Or pour a large amount of warm water or tea first, and then induce vomiting. This method is indicated for children who are 4 to 6 hours after poisoning and who are conscious and slightly older.

    Pediatric drug poisoning is a problem that young parents cannot ignore.

    In addition to children's curiosity and imitation of adults' behavior, parents' lack or ignorance of drug knowledge and blind abuse of drugs are also important reasons for children's mistaken drug poisoning. So, how can we prevent such a thing from happening to the baby, and how can we avoid serious consequences if it happens?

    The causes of drug poisoning in children are more complex, such as eating drugs with sweet taste and sugar coating as candy, and some drinking aqueous drugs and chemical preparations with bright colors and aromatic smells as drinks. Most of the poisoning caused by these drugs is caused by parents who leave the drugs on the table, next to the pillow or in a drawer that is easily accessible to children.

    Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of diseases, families with children should keep all medicines properly, preferably in a high place or with a lock. In recent years, clinical statistics have shown that a considerable proportion of cases of drug poisoning in children are caused by parents' wrong medication.

    It has been reported that after the birth of a baby in a certain place, the parents are for the sake of the child"Stay fit", he was given ginseng soup, and the baby eventually died of respiratory failure. It can be seen that drug abuse is irrational and even dangerous without scientific guidance. Once parents find out that their child has taken the drug by mistake, do not panic, or blame or scold the child.

    The correct treatment method is: rapid discharge, reduced absorption, timely detoxification, symptomatic**. First of all, it is necessary to detect the abnormal behavior of the child taking the wrong medicine as early as possible, such as the child taking sleeping pills or antihypertensive drugs containing sedatives, the child will show listlessness and drowsiness.

    Secondly, parents should find out as soon as possible what drugs their children have taken by mistake, how long they have been taking the drugs and how much the dose has been taken by mistake, grasp the situation in time, and formulate a plan for the next step.

    If you mistakenly take a general drug and the dose is small, such as ordinary Chinese patent medicine or vitamins with very little toxicity, you can let your child drink more cold boiled water to dilute the drug and excrete it in the urine in time. If the dose of the drug is large and toxic, or if it is large (such as taking contraceptives by mistake, sleeping pills, etc.), it should be sent to the hospital in time, and the time should not be delayed. If a highly corrosive drug is ingested by mistake, it is necessary for someone with medical knowledge to take appropriate first aid measures during the time the patient is sent to the hospital.

    For example, if you take strong alkali drugs by mistake, you should immediately take vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, etc.; If strong acid is ingested by mistake, soapy water and raw egg whites should be used to protect the gastric mucosa; If you accidentally ingest iodine wine, you should drink starchy liquids such as rice soup and noodle soup.

    Finally, it is worth noting that when you are sent to the hospital for first aid, you should bring the wrong medicine or medicine bottle with you, so that the doctor can understand the situation and take antidote measures in time.

Children accidentally ingest small solid foreign objects, such as chess pieces, coins, buttons and other smooth small objects, after entering the digestive tract, they will eventually be excreted with feces. Parents can give their children some fiber-rich vegetables and fruits to promote the peristalsis of the digestive tract and speed up the excretion of foreign bodies. Watch your child's bowel movements carefully until you are sure that the foreign body has been expelled from the body.

    We have learned about the mutual restraint of food, and we all know those cases of food poisoning, but sometimes we also eat it, and people are fine, and then the doctor will say, because you eat less, those foods are not good together, but the toxins produced are also very small, so everyone relaxes and feels that it doesn't matter.

    But can it be done to children? No! The child's stomach is weak, a small amount of toxin is enough to make the child food poisoning, the most common example is drinking, adults may drink a few bottles to get drunk, and children may take a few sips to get alcohol poisoning.

    What are the symptoms of food poisoning in children?

    Generally, the onset time of food poisoning in children is within 24 hours, and the onset time varies slightly according to the size of the toxicity. Since it is food poisoning, it is something that has reached the stomach, and the symptoms are naturally in the stomach, the most direct is vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, complications such as dizziness, shock, blood pressure drop, abnormal complexion, unresponsiveness, etc.

    What are the types of food poisoning in children:

    Parasitic fungi for meat, bacteria for seafood.

    Fermented and handmade pastry products.

    The more serious ones are canned meat products, that is, canned meat products.

    How to give first aid when you find food poisoning in a child?

    1. Induce vomiting and drink plenty of water.

    2. Hurry up and send to the hospital for gastric lavage.

    In summer and autumn, when it comes to the peak of food poisoning, pay attention to all parents!

    Mom and dad are most afraid that the baby will eat the wrong thing, and the "eating the wrong thing" we want to talk about here is more dangerous, because these are some foreign bodies in the digestive tract. 1. Don't abuse emetic drugs.

    Some parents will use emetics to try to make the baby vomit the foreign body again, but improper vomiting will cause the foreign body to be inhaled into the trachea, and suffocation may occur in severe cases. The latter can directly lead to the death of the baby in a short period of time.

    2. Don't use laxatives casually.

    Some parents feel that since they can't vomit, they can let the baby "pull out", so they will use laxatives for the baby, hoping that the foreign body can be excreted from the baby's intestines quickly.

    However, this method is not safe. Because the baby's digestive tract foreign bodies are too diverse, if it is a foreign body with a tip and a hook such as nails and braces, when the intestinal tube is rapidly peristalsis due to the effect of drugs, it is likely to hook to the intestinal wall and even cause perforation of the intestinal wall. That would lead to more serious problems.
