Dangers of using antibiotics in newborns

We all know that many children may have some diseases when they are just born. Sometimes they will get sick because they are not adapted to the external environment. At this time, you must not use antibiotics for children, because antibiotics are particularly easy to make children dependent, and the drug properties of antibiotics are very strong. If children can't stand it, it is likely to cause other diseases. So what are the dangers of using antibiotics for newborns?

What are the dangers of antibiotics to infants?

1. Different types of antibiotics may cause potential damage to the baby's cartilage tissue. For example, some may cause deafness in infants and young children, while others may suppress the bone marrow and cause poor blood circulation, thereby causing blood diseases. In addition, antibiotics have a great impact on the hearing and vision of infants and young children, and can easily cause deafness or blindness.

3. Antibiotics may also cause a disorder in the baby's bacterial flora, leading to partial dysfunction of the baby's internal body functions.

4. There are a large number of bacteria in the baby's body. These bacterial groups maintain a harmonious state through mutual exclusion and interdependence, maintaining the normal functioning of the baby's internal functions and the stability of the body's internal environment. When antibiotics enter the baby's body, they will kill all the harmful and beneficial bacteria in the baby's body, thereby causing disorder and imbalance of the bacterial flora.

Which diseases of babies do not require antibiotic treatment

1. For the common cold, antibiotics are not needed in most cases unless there is a secondary or concurrent bacterial infection. Attention should be paid to getting children to drink plenty of fluids and rest rather than adding antibiotics.

2. Allergic coughs or coughs after infection do not usually require the use of antibiotics.

3. Summer fever is a unique disease in infancy and childhood. Clinically, it is characterized by long-term fever, thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and sweating in the summer. Summer fever has strict seasonality and should be distinguished from fever caused by other diseases.

4. Non-bacterial diarrhea. Diarrhea is generally divided into infectious and non-infectious. Non-infectious diarrhea caused by allergic stimulation, improper diet, indigestion, use of drugs, sudden weather changes, etc. does not require treatment with antibiotics.

Although antibiotics are an effective treatment for many types of viruses and bacteria for adults, it is important to avoid excessive use of drugs for infants and young children whose bodies are still in the growth and development stage. Otherwise, the drugs will not only harm the body due to other diseases, but also bring unexpected adverse effects to the body.
