A baby's physical function is not fully developed and their resistance is relatively low. If not careful, they can suffer from various diseases, such as colds, fever, inflammation, etc. Generally, doctors will prescribe several medicines for the baby to take. Faced with various medicines, it is also difficult for the mother to feed them. So, can the baby take several medicines together?
In general, it is best not to mix the drugs taken by babies together, because most of the drugs taken by babies are in the form of granules or powders, and the content and efficacy of these drugs are different. Mixing them together is not conducive to the mixing and dissolution of drugs, nor is it conducive to the absorption of drugs, especially traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. It is important to avoid mixing them together, as it not only affects the efficacy of drugs, but also may cause other side effects.
Some babies may choose to use antipyretics for treatment when they have a cold or fever, but some babies have a high fever temperature. In order to quickly reduce the fever, mothers may give their babies two or more antipyretics at the same time, which is extremely harmful to their physical health and may even cause other hazards. It is recommended that babies first use physical cooling after a fever and drink plenty of water.
If the baby experiences discomfort in daily life, the mother should not blindly give medication to the baby. It is necessary to go to the pediatric department for examination and receive targeted medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the baby's condition. In addition, the mother should keep the baby warm, take the baby to bask in the sun, promote calcium absorption, and enhance the baby's resistance.
