CCTV News: It is understood that influenza A is currently a common respiratory disease in children. If the child is unfortunately infected with influenza A, how should he take medicine? What should children pay attention to when taking oseltamivir?
Oseltamivir is suitable for children of all ages
Currently, oral anti-flu drugs suitable for children are mainly oseltamivir and mabaloxavir. Oseltamivir is suitable for the treatment of children of all ages and prevention of children over three months. The optimal time for administration is within 48 hours, symptoms appear, and the drug is within 96 hours, that is, within four days, and it is also effective.
Yang Guang, director of the pediatric department of the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, introduced that oseltamivir can usually be used for one year or more, usually 2 times a day for 5 days, and mabaloxavir can be taken for a single time, but you must pay attention to being over 5 years old. Han Tongyan, director of the pediatrics department of Peking University Third Hospital, said that if the child has had a fever for three or five days, the diagnosis of influenza A can also be used for oseltamivir. What should I do if I experience gastrointestinal reactions when taking oseltamivir? Taking oseltamivir with rice can reduce gastrointestinal reactions
Experts said that since food does not affect the absorption of oseltamivir, parents can ask their children to take oseltamivir with rice to reduce some gastrointestinal reactions. Why can't Mabaloshave be used for under 5 years old?
Yang Guang introduced that it is not recommended to use mabalosavir, but it is not absolutely not allowed. Because the safety and effectiveness of mabaloxavir under the age of 5 have not been confirmed by this more precise evidence from clinical studies. Previous studies have shown that mabaloxavir is more likely to be resistant to drug use under 5 years old. Why use cough-anti-anti-drug medicine with children? Use of antitussive drugs may cover up some symptoms
Experts say that if children use antitussive drugs after suffering from influenza, some symptoms may cover up some symptoms and even induce some other conditions.
Han Tongyan introduced that when a child coughs, he can cough out and excrete the sputum accumulated in the airway. If these sputum spreads downward, it is easy to develop into lower respiratory tract infection, which is more likely to induce pneumonia. Some non-dependent cough-relieving drugs available to children and are used under the guidance of a doctor.
