1 year-old child almost died because grandma took 8 tablets of antihypertensive drugs negligently. What should parents do?

On May 20th, a child aged/kloc-0 in Changsha took 8 tablets of antihypertensive drugs due to the negligence of his grandmother. Fortunately, the child's behavior was stopped in time and the child was taken to the hospital in time. However, such incidents often occur, regardless of age, and one time may be spared, but the next time may not be so lucky, and the child is safe and sound. Some children are sick and need to take medicine. Parents will say that medicine is sugar water for children to drink at ease, so when they see some beautifully packaged medicine, they will eat it regardless of the willy-nilly. Deceiving children is actually wrong. What if the child takes the medicine by mistake?

1. If the child is found to have taken the medicine by mistake, check the child's physical condition first, and then go to the hospital immediately with the drug instructions and the child's vomit and excrement.

2。 If the drug taken by children by mistake is very toxic, but it is far away from hospitals, clinics and other places, then we should immediately induce vomiting for children to reduce their absorption of drugs. Vomiting is also the fastest way to eliminate residual drugs in the stomach. How? Parents can stimulate the child's throat with tools such as fingers and let the child spit it out as soon as possible. If the child can't vomit, give the child some warm water and then induce vomiting. This method can only be applied when the child is conscious.

Gastric lavage is the best way to eliminate drugs, and the sooner the gastric lavage time, the better, which has a great relationship with the child's physical recovery. It is best to take drugs by mistake within six hours.

4. If the drugs taken by children by mistake are not very toxic, such as antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs taken by adults, you can give your children plenty of water to promote their diarrhea as soon as possible. Of course, you should always pay attention to your child's physical changes. On the contrary, if the drugs you take are toxic, you should borrow some drugs to help your child excrete.

Parents should keep the medicines at home out of children's reach, and don't throw them around casually. Parents should not let their children try drugs at will. Now parents should read the instructions carefully and pay attention to them in daily life.

6. Tell children some short stories about drug poisoning and teach them how to prevent it.

7. Parents are advised to learn some first-aid measures for children, which can greatly reduce the harm of drugs to children's bodies.
