Annual autumn and winter festivals are particularly prone to diseases due to changes in temperature and climate. Children, as a special group, are not yet fully developed by their own immune system and are more vulnerable to diseases. The diagnosis of a child ‘ s illness is difficult, the situation is rapidly developing and treatment is difficult. Antibacterial drugs play a crucial role as the most commonly used drugs in paediatrics, and their rational and safe use is of the utmost importance.
Antibacterial drugs are anti-microbial drugs, and common pathogens include viruses, bacteria, silos, chlamydia, fungi, ricktics, spirals, etc. Different pathogens can lead to the same or similar symptoms, but different antibacterial drugs are used, and the abuse of antibacterial drugs not only increases the risk of drug resistance, but may also lead to a range of adverse effects. Parents should therefore understand that anti-bacterial drugs should not be used on their own behalf and should be purchased after consultation with a doctor on the basis of a medical prescription. Parents should inform the doctor in detail about the condition of the child, his or her condition and his or her history of medication and allergies. In the case of children, doctors prioritize the use of pathogen-sensitive antibacterial drugs on the basis of clinical diagnosis, pathogen examinations (e.g. blood, urine, pathogen culture, etc.) and video-testing results, avoid the use of broad spectrum antibacterial drugs to the extent possible, and adjust the dose of drugs to the age of the child, weight, liver and kidney function, to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
Parents should also be aware that not all infections require the use of antibacterial drugs, such as some viral respiratory infections and certain self-restricted diseases, such as common colds, without the use of antibacterial drugs. Treatment should be provided only if there was a genuine need for medical intervention.
Since children ‘ s drug metabolism and tolerance are different from those of adults, care should also be taken to maximize the use of antibacterial drugs specifically designed for children when prescribed by a doctor or when the parents purchase them on their own basis. Taking into account the child ‘ s physiology and dependence, child-friendly formulations such as dry convulsions, particles, droplets and syrup should also be used as far as possible.
Parents should also take care to keep antibacterial drugs properly after they have been purchased, which are described as 0-30 degrees for room temperature preservation, below 20 degrees for cooling and 2-10 degrees for cold, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. Whatever drugs are used, they should be properly treated so as to avoid the misuse of children.
When antibacterial drugs are used, do not stop, even if the symptoms disappear shortly after they are used, incomplete treatment may lead to a risk that the pathogen will not be completely eliminated, but may increase the risk of resistance, so the whole course of treatment should be completed under the direction of a doctor, who will determine the course of treatment according to the type and area of infection, even if the symptoms are improved. If other drugs are needed in the course of the use of antibacterial drugs, the doctor should be informed of the possible effects of certain antibacterial drugs on other drugs and then re-use them. During their use, parents should closely observe any anomalies, including allergies, rashes, diarrhoea, etc., that should be communicated to the doctor as soon as possible after the discovery of the child ‘ s medication.
Lastly, it was recommended that prevention should be the focus of efforts to ensure balanced nutrition and adequate sleep for children. Keep indoor air and air fresh. Personal hygiene, frequent hand-washing, and children of appropriate age are properly wearing masks, to a lesser extent in densely populated places. Timely injection of nationally mandated vaccines and, if necessary, influenza vaccine.
