Pulmonologist Abakumov called dangerous mistakes of parents in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections in children.

The doctor spoke about the wrong actions on the part of parents in their attempts to treat respiratory infections in children. In his telegram channel, Abakumov stated:.

“Some parents are so wrong to bring down the temperature of the child that as a result you have to call an ambulance and go to the hospital”.

The doctor called one of the key mistakes adults are waiting for a high temperature to take antipyretic medication. According to Oleg Abakumov, with ARVI, it is necessary to take into account the state of the child. If a relatively low temperature of just over 37 degrees is difficult to tolerate, then it should be brought down, the doctor noted..

“It is forbidden to wipe with vodka or vinegar - they are toxic! They are absorbed through the skin or by inhalation of vapors and slowly send the body of the child, ”added the pulmonologist.

Also, a dangerous mistake of parents in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections in children is the use of analgin, ibuklin, aspirin.

Abakumov clarified that in a number of countries the use of such a drug as analgin is prohibited - it can negatively affect blood formation.

As for aspirin, its use is contraindicated before adolescence due to the possible risk of liver damage.. The same property differs nimesulide.

Pulmonologist Abakumov named ways to protect himself from the flu. This medicine consists of ibuprofen and paracetamol. The pudmonologist emphasized: it is impossible to use two of these drugs at the same time in children.
