Prevent children from eating by mistake

1. Parents should put the medicine out of children's reach, not in "hidden places", put the medicine in a fixed medicine box and lock it, and put away the rest of the medicine immediately after eating.

Among children with drug poisoning, 1-4 years old is a high-risk group. As the child grows up, his range of activities increases, his curiosity increases, and he also learns to use tools and find ways. Now he can reach places he couldn't reach in the past, and places he wasn't interested in in in the past may now become his exploration goals. Desktops, backpacks and drawers that are not high enough are not safe places to store medicines.

Drugs should be stored in drawers high enough for children to see, or in locked drawers and medicine boxes.

2. Use child-safe medicine bottles to place medicines, so as to prevent children from opening the medicine bottles easily.

The report on children's medication safety jointly issued by several professional organizations shows that drug poisoning accounts for more than 40% of children's poisoning incidents, and 8 1.4% of children's drug poisoning is caused by children taking it by mistake. What is even more frightening is that 99% of children can open ordinary medicine bottles in two seconds.

3. Whether it is pills or vitamin capsules, don't put them on the dining table or coffee table where food is often placed;

4. Store drugs reasonably. It is best to store children's and adults' medicines separately, and check the expiration date of the medicines regularly;

5. Children should strictly follow the doctor's advice when they are sick, and can't give them food by experience.

6. Parents should instill correct ideas in their children. Drugs are not "sugar", and liquid drugs such as potions are not "delicious", "sweet water" or "sugar water". Only when food and medicine are not confused can we avoid taking them by mistake and tell our children that "medicine is not candy, so we can't eat it ourselves".

Take ordinary drugs by mistake.

1, taking general drugs by mistake.

If it is determined that the child has taken ordinary drugs by mistake, such as vitamins, cough syrup and other drugs with small toxic and side effects, and the dose is not large, parents can immediately take emetic methods at home to spit out the drugs remaining in the stomach that have not been digested and absorbed. In order to induce vomiting better, children can drink some clear water and induce vomiting several times repeatedly, and at the same time, children can drink more cold water to accelerate the elimination of drugs from urine.

2. The misunderstanding of drug dose limitation.

Some drugs have strong side effects and toxicity, and there is a certain dose limit. Such as sleeping pills, some antispasmodics, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, antibiotics, birth control pills, etc. Take the instructions and medicine for taking the medicine by mistake and take the child to the hospital in time. Don't waste time. Hurry to send your child to the hospital for professional treatment, and don't induce vomiting yourself to avoid aspiration.

3. Take corrosive drugs by mistake

If children take corrosive drugs by mistake, such as iodine drugs, every minute counts, and immediately drink starch-containing liquids such as rice soup and noodle soup; If Lai Su drinks egg white, milk and flour paste to protect gastric mucosa; If it is strong acid, disable the gastric tube to avoid damaging the esophagus and gastric mucosa, and immediately take limewater, soapy water and raw egg white to protect the gastric mucosa; If it is a strong alkali, take vinegar, orange juice, lemonade, etc. Immediately, and then immediately to the hospital.

After initial treatment at home, they should be sent to the hospital for further treatment. Remember to bring the wrong medicine, medicine bottle or medicine bag when you come to the hospital, so that the doctor can identify it and take targeted treatment measures.

Preventing children from eating drugs by mistake is actually very simple.

To sum up, it is to preserve drugs reasonably.
