Children’s cold medicine, why is it useless?

Babies with low immunity, colds

Infant period, the baby’s immune function are inadequate, in particular, has not been breastfed baby, lower immunity against various infectious diseases susceptible to influenza virus infection and disease. This is the baby an important reason why colds.

* Baby incomplete development of colds

Baby’s central nervous system has not yet perfect, the organizations also immature organ development, coupled with physiological characteristics of children with respiratory anatomy, for example, narrow nasal passages, there is no nose hair, mucous membrane soft, rich in blood vessels, etc., so it is vulnerable to viruses infection. This is the baby colds another important reason.

Although a cold can against the baby’s body throughout the year, but spring is a time when their most rampant. Now, ask experts and join us, work together to build a baby’s Road, the defense against cold, so baby try not to cold and less cold, let your baby eat Haoshui fun, good, healthy growth.

Human influenza virus with the long-term struggle, he accumulated a lot of useful experience, which is susceptible populations (including the immune function are not yet mature babies) were vaccinated, take the initiative to establish an immunity defense, is an example.

However, due to many reasons, in this regard have not yet achieved a breakthrough progress, people on these issues, there are also a lot of errors.

Influenza vaccines have limited impact

Some experts believe that natural immunity against influenza should be taken with a combination of artificial immune. If the toxicity of influenza viruses is not strong, threatening the little natural immunity can be taken the way, we did not have vaccination; if the toxicity of influenza viruses, strong, baby’s health and pose a serious threat to life, but there are obvious effects of targeted The vaccine, which could be considered to take artificial immune vaccination approach.

But now some young parents to improve the baby’s immunity to influenza virus, the hope of simply hinges on influenza vaccination, the wish to change the status quo, once and for all to deal with influenza viruses, this idea is completely unrealistic.

Reason 1: The effect of influenza vaccine is a single particular, an influenza vaccine is generally effective against a flu virus. A wide range of influenza viruses, only there are more than 200 kinds of the common cold virus, influenza virus is as high as more than 300 kinds. In the flu during a pandemic, there may be a variety of cold viruses. Is the influenza vaccine because they have a preventive effect of influenza virus, will continue to mutate, the original new variant of influenza vaccine influenza virus can not do anything new variant of influenza virus the need for new vaccines targeted to achieve the immune effect. Therefore, once and for all influenza vaccines do not provide comprehensive protection to the baby.

Reason 2: baby suffering from a cold is a complex process, involving good and bad physical condition, the scope of the size of the flu epidemic, flu communicators infection, the adequacy of an individual to produce antibodies and many other conditions. Therefore, in terms of the baby is not played on the vaccination is equivalent to the safe, to be easy to avoid the viruses, not cold.

Reason 3: Most people mistakenly believe that colds and flu is one thing, in fact, colds and flu are different. Cold in medicine called acute upper respiratory infection, caused by a virus over to the main symptoms of nasal and throat; influenza influenza viruses, the short term, may appear the whole family or other groups of the disease, systemic symptoms heavier , nose and throat symptoms but less. Influenza vaccine can only against influenza, but also a kind of influenza vaccine can only deal with an influenza virus, can not be right for ordinary influenza and other influenza viruses play a preventive role. Therefore, we can think your baby immunized against influenza vaccine on the end of the story.

Immunomodulator varies

Some experts also advocate at home and abroad to take the appropriate immune modulators to enhance the baby’s immunity against influenza. Immunomodulator more vitamins and trace elements belonging to class, where he introduced two kinds of immune modulators, for your reference.
Vitamin AD Pills

Studies have found that a lack of vitamin AD, baby, immune function is relatively low, upper respiratory tract vulnerable to violations of bacteria and viruses. Over the age of 2 may be the next day oral administration of a baby, and even clothes 2-3 months. But the baby is really not the body, to go to the hospital for check-ups, should not be left to determine the individual’s subjective thoughts.

Gluconate

This drug on the frail little baby to prevent upper respiratory tract infection to a certain extent, usually a pack a day, even clothes 1-2 months. Some experts believe that with the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus taking it better.

Medical Tip 1:

1, taking immunomodulatory agents should be targeted is low immunity or chronic illness infirmity congenital, acquired resistance to poor baby.

2, taking immune modulators should be selected early in the flu epidemic.

3, taking immune modulators must be carried out under the guidance of doctors, according to drug characteristics and the baby to take the program to develop the individual circumstances, do not overdose caused by poisoning.

Medical Tip 2:

Some parents, eager for love baby, indiscriminate use of maternal blood, placental globulin, gamma globulin, and thymic peptide such as to improve the baby’s immune system, these practices are totally unacceptable.

In fact, the general blood-globulin and antibodies to influenza viruses do not blindly play thymosin may inhibit the developing baby’s thymus gland, while the C ball and thymosin as biological agents, but also easily lead to fever, allergic phenomena. Thus, under normal circumstances should not take that approach. In case of very special circumstances, must also be under the guidance of doctors, and has been proven to be effective when the practice of medicine in order to be considered.

Antibiotics can not combat a cold

Some parents thought that antibiotics can treat and prevent influenza, often to the baby taking spiramycin, Pioneer mycin antibiotics such, this approach is totally wrong. Antibiotic treatment against bacterial infections, drugs, the virus essentially null and void, while the cold is a viral infection just not the virus infection. Antibiotics only in the baby influenza complications, such as the emergence of various inflammation before considering the use of, its role is not the treatment of influenza, but to eliminate inflammation. Antibiotics must be combined with the condition of your baby’s physical needs, under the guidance of a doctor.

To prevent a cold for the baby antibiotics is even more wrong. Regular or high-dose abuse of antibiotics will not help in the prevention and treatment of colds, but will result in increased drug resistance of bacteria, for the treatment of bacterial infections serious disease posed a serious threat. Therefore, must be prohibited for the prevention of influenza for the baby often or taking large doses of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
