ух ты, ах ты все мы космонавты, а еще и терапевты!AndreyA писал(а):Нормальный врач приедет если есть на то основания. И по любому чиху не ездийте в госпиталь. Что температуру сбивать не умеете самостоятельно? А если бы что серьезное было, я не думаю что вас бы долго в емердженси держали. И ведь что интересно, дали тайленол и все, у ребенка разом спала температура, и он спокойно уснул. Нет, ведь надо что бы доктор дал его, сама мамаша боится ответственности, но это нормально.


Кстати тут недавно была статья в прессе, что злоупотребление тайленолом на на 1 году жизни сильно увеличивает риск развития астмы у ребенка.
Acetaminophen linked to asthma
Babies given the drug in their first year of life more likely to have allergy symptoms later, study says

Babies who receive acetaminophen in the first year of life are significantly more likely to have symptoms of asthma and other allergies when they're a few years older.
A massive, worldwide study of more than 200,000 children also found that six- and seven-year- olds who get acetaminophen frequently -- at least once a month -- are three times as likely to suffer wheezing and whistling in their chests compared to children who never take the drug.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, Tempra and other pain and fever reducers.

The authors stressed acetaminophen remains the drug of choice for fever in babies and young children.
But they say the findings underscore the importance of World Health Organization guidelines that recommend the drug shouldn't be used casually and should be reserved for high fevers of 38.5 C (101.3 F) or more.
"There is actually very high use of [acetaminophen] very frequently in children," says lead author Dr. Richard Beasley, a professor of medicine at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand.
And parents who give the medication to their babies are more likely to do so in childhood.
The study, which included children from Hamilton and Saskatoon, appears in this week's issue of the British medical journal The Lancet.
"The increased use of [acetaminophen] over the past 50 years has occurred contemporaneously with the rise in prevalence of asthma worldwide," the researchers report. By 1985, acetaminophen had almost completely replaced Aspirin as the fever and pain reliever of choice in infants because of concerns about the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare, but potentially life-threatening complication of Aspirin that causes swelling in the liver and brain.
The idea that acetaminophen might increase the risk of asthma was first floated 10 years ago, but the research has been conflicting. One hypothesis is that the drug lowers the level of an antioxidant called glutathione, which might lead to inflammation of the airways in the lung.
Asthma is a chronic disease that, at its worst, can be fatal. An estimated 10 per cent of Canadian children have asthma, and the number is rising.
For the study, parents of children aged six to seven filled out questionnaires about symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis -- sneezing, or a runny or blocked nose when there's no cold or flu -- and eczema, an itchy skin rash. They were also asked about possible risk factors, including pets in the house, pollution and parental smoking. Only two of the 28 questions on environment were related to acetaminophen: "In the first 12 months of your child's life, did you usually give [acetaminophen] for fever?" And, "In the past 12 months, how often on average have you given your child [acetaminophen]?"
Use of the drug in the first year of life was associated with a 46-per-cent increased risk of asthma symptoms in children. Current use (meaning in the previous 12 months) was also associated with a higher risk of asthma, and the bigger dose, the greater the risk: The highest dose -- once per month or more -- increased the risk threefold.
