What to take with antibiotics for children
The action of antibiotics is aimed at destroyingharmful microorganisms. But these drugs are eliminated not only by bacteria that provoke the inflammatory process in the body, but also a useful microflora that lives on the mucous membranes of the mouth and intestines. The decrease in the number of beneficial bacteria leads to the development of thrush, disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, after elimination of the microorganisms causing the disease, the population of other harmful bacteria and fungi can increase. This will provoke the development of new infections with a decrease in immunity. Repeated infection with a bacterial or fungal infection requires one more course of antibiotic therapy. How often you can take antibiotics to children is decided by your doctor. With frequent use of the same drug, harmful microorganisms stop responding to it and treatment does not bring positive results. Therefore, parents need to write down what period and what antibiotics their child was treated for. When using antibacterial therapy, it is important to remember that disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract can be caused not by the action of drugs, but by the diet regime and the additional use of other medicines. Taking antibiotics means giving up:
- Oily food;
- products that cause fermentation - eggs, legumes;
- smoked products and sausages;
- canned goods.
Milk and fermented milk products duringtreatment with antibiotics is permitted to use, but everything should be in moderation. A child does not need to be overfed and forced to eat when he has no appetite. To prevent disruptions in the work of the gastrointestinal tract, the baby should be constantly watered with clean water, compote without sugar or tea. Simultaneously with the use of antibiotics, doctors prescribe the reception of funds containing beneficial bacteria, but not always they are effective during therapy. Pediatricians are advised to begin recovery of microflora after the completion of the course of treatment. However, some doctors consider the administration of bifidobacteria inappropriate, their effectiveness is not fully proven. If antibiotics are used to treat infants, then they are recommended as often as possible to apply to the breast. The composition of mother's milk reduces the negative impact of antibacterial agents. During the reception of antibiotics, antihistamines are not recommended. This is due to the fact that because of the individual characteristics of the body, antimicrobial agents can cause allergies. Antihistamines will hide this reaction and in the future, with subsequent bacterial infections, the use of this antibiotic will be impossible. In the case of manifestations of allergies, you must immediately cancel the use of an antibacterial drug. Remember that such drugs are used exclusively for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections. Viral diseases are not treated with antibiotics. Read further:
