What are the consequences of taking too much anti-inflammatory medicine for children?

In China, anti-inflammatory drugs generally refer to antibiotics, which are used quite frequently in daily life. Anti-inflammatory drugs are very effective in treating many diseases, but their frequent use can be very harmful, especially for children with weak immunity, as it may have very serious consequences. So, what are the consequences if children take too much anti-inflammatory drugs? Let’s take a look below.

1. Produce toxic side effects. If the dose of anti-inflammatory drugs is large, it will cause damage to the child's nervous system, kidneys, blood system, liver and kidney functions. For example, in daily life, when a child catches a cold, he or she can actually just take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, but many parents ask doctors to give their children intravenous drips in order to make their children get better quickly. This is actually not good for the children.

2. Double infection. The dangers of children taking anti-inflammatory drugs include reinfection. If anti-inflammatory drugs are abused for a long time, it is easy for drug-sensitive bacteria to continue to multiply and grow in this environment, causing new infections. This situation can make treatment difficult and is very common among patients who abuse anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. Cause allergies. The dangers of taking anti-inflammatory drugs for children include symptoms such as eczema and anaphylactic shock, so you must be careful.

4. Develop drug resistance. Long-term and excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the bacteria's ability to resist stress. Not only will these bacteria not be killed, but they will also multiply in large numbers in the human body. Moreover, due to long-term exposure to drug stimulation, some bacteria will mutate. This increases the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, we should be alert to the dangers of children taking anti-inflammatory drugs.

5. Increase the risk of disease. If children abuse anti-inflammatory drugs, it will increase their risk of developing type 1 diabetes. If anti-inflammatory drugs are used too early, it may cause intestinal flora imbalance in infants and young children, causing children to suffer from asthma.

The abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs is extremely harmful to children's health, so parents should use medication with caution when their children are sick. Children should be encouraged to exercise actively to improve their immunity to diseases. Especially in winter, be sure to open the windows for ventilation when the weather is warm at noon to prevent polluted air from making children sick.
