What are the dangers of enema for children?

Enema is very harmful to the physical development of children. It will not only reduce the child's immune ability, but also stimulate the gastrointestinal digestive function of the child, causing dysfunction of the probiotics in the child's intestines, thus causing diarrhea. Furthermore, enema is a painful experience for children, and letting children endure this too early is not conducive to their physical and mental development.

When people talk about giving an enema to a baby with a fever, it should be the administration of a small dose of medication into the rectum.

Let's take a brief look at fever: also known as pyrogen, it is the direct effect of pyrogens on the body temperature regulation center, producing heat quickly and dissipating heat slowly, which eventually leads to increased body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5℃, physical cooling and drinking plenty of water are recommended. When the temperature exceeds 38.5℃, use drugs to cool down correctly to avoid convulsions and seizures in children. There are many types of pyrogens, including common bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. (antibiotics are only needed when there is a bacterial infection). Fever is first caused by a weak constitution, which leads to relatively strong pyrogens, resulting in a fever. However, fever is definitely not as useless as everyone thinks. When the body temperature rises to a certain level, it will burn bacteria and viruses to death. After several rounds of increased body temperature, bacteria and viruses will soon be unable to bear it. A common cold is this process. The body improves its own immunity through fever. This is the reason for fever. Therefore, there is no need to panic when facing a fever.

Everyone thinks that the child's illness will be cured after an enema, and they will not feel uncomfortable anymore. They all accept it very happily, but they don't know what medicine they have been given. In fact, this is the most important thing!
