Since I gave birth to a small fish and became a mother, I have become particularly careful and tried to learn parenting knowledge. Pay attention to the big V and WeChat official accounts of education, parenting and parenting, pay attention to a laundry list, and carefully read your parenting experience and parenting skills every time. From how to choose the brand of diapers to how to educate the baby at an early age, I repeatedly choose and compare what the baby uses, eats, wears and plays, and always want to give the best to the little fish.

Speaking of shame, I also belong to the group that worships foreign things and flatters foreign countries. I always feel that foreign products are better than domestic products, so I will buy Xiaoyu's clothes, toys and snacks back through Haitao. It's really a thousand choices. Sometimes my friends want to go abroad, and I have the cheek to let them take this and that, and I never miss any opportunity. My friend once teased me: Do you want to buy it all over the world?

Looking at all the food and clothing used by small fish, they are all foreign brands, diapers, clothes, bowls and spoons, bottles, cups, sleeping bags, trolleys, bathtubs, rice noodles, snacks, toys and even medicines. Drugs also unconsciously entered my Haitao list. I listened to the recommendation of some big V or other precious mothers and bought some "safety drugs that everyone is using".

Although Xiaoyu hasn't used the medicine that Haitao came back so far, I ask myself, in case Xiaoyu is really sick, I will still take him to see a doctor, follow the doctor's advice, and take the medicine that the doctor rationed, instead of giving him Haitao's medicine casually (then why should I go to Haitao medicine? ) After all, I don't know whether it is safe or not, and foreign medicines are all in English, so some precautions and taboos are not clear at all. If you really want to give it to the baby, you still dare not.

So are overseas medicines really better than domestic ones? We spent a lot of money to think that foreign medicine from Haitao must be more effective than domestic medicine? Below I will share the answer given by Yi Yi, director of the pharmacy of Beijing Yuxueyuan Clinic.

Let's start with German children's medicine.

Famous little green leaves. Because of the green leaves on the package, this medicine is widely called small green leaves in China. As many parents know, this is the leaf of ivy. Ivy extract is the main component of this cough medicine. But you may not know that although ivy does have medicinal value, it is actually difficult to determine how high the clinical effect is due to the uncertainty of extraction methods and medication methods. Many parents also know that everyone says that this medicine can "relieve cough and resolve phlegm" and is "safe and can be eaten at the age of 0". However, we don't know that this drug is usually not recommended for children under 10, because its ingredients may cause many adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting. Some parents may wonder that this medicine is also very popular in Germany. It is necessary to say here that it is popular abroad because of the once popular homeopathy. "Homeopathy" claims that drugs are all taken from natural substances, such as plant extracts, which can be diluted to stimulate the body to react and treat diseases caused by this substance. To put it bluntly, it can be understood as "fighting poison with poison" in martial arts novels. Just to ensure safety, "homeopathic" drugs dilute "poison" to the n power of 10. The most famous is oscillococcus, which claims to be able to prevent and treat influenza. Extracted from duck liver of special duck, diluted 400 times with 10. 400 power, if I have time, I really want to write all the "0s" and show you how many sheets of paper I can fill in. Even if this substance is effective, you can imagine the clinical effect after it has been diluted so many times. Having said that, I hope I can inspire you to think more about whether to measure the true value of products under the banner of taking advantage of the trend.

The picture above is actually the "Mushu Mountain" in China. Syrup. Domestic pharmacies can buy them directly, and they are also made in Germany, produced by Boehringer Ingelheim Company, and do not need Haitao.

These two drugs are OTC (over-the-counter drugs), and their main function is to relieve cough and resolve phlegm by diluting sputum. Pay attention to replenish water when using.

These two are antipyretic plugs. One is acetaminophen and the other is ibuprofen. Are you familiar with it? The difference is that our common dosage form is oral dosage form, while this one in Germany is suppository, which is used to plug the ass, so some parents feel tall. In fact, if you want to use suppositories, there are acetaminophen antipyretic suppositories in China, 150mg each, and the dosage is the same as that of oral liquid. However, it is not recommended to use oral and suppository at the same time to avoid overdose. However, ibuprofen suppository is not recommended for infants under 6 months, so ibuprofen oral dosage form is commonly used in China, and suppository is rarely used.

Otriven baby nose drops are used to relieve stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing and other problems. Its composition is 0.025% xylometazoline hydroxide. The action mode is similar to pseudoephedrine, which relieves nasal congestion by contracting swollen nasal capillaries. This kind of nasal spray is also available in China, but since the nasal spray used by children under 6 years old is a prescription drug, it needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor, and parents can't buy this kind of drug at the pharmacy at will. But because of this, parents are not advised to come back to pick up their babies. Especially for infants under 2 years old, the capillaries are in a state of contraction for a long time, which has an impact on the normal function of the nose. Whether the baby can use this medicine and how long it will take must be in accordance with the doctor's advice.

Germany Wick brand baby nasal ointment advocates natural ingredients. Not only can it be rubbed under the nose to clear the nose, but it can also be rubbed on the chest to relieve cough. Rubbing muscle joints can also relieve pain ... Hey, wait, do you feel familiar with it? Yes, it is mint cream! Our traditional cooling oil also has this effect.

Oral rehydration salts really exist in China. There are oral rehydration salts Ⅱ and Ⅲ in China. These two components are slightly different, and their preparation methods are also different. For children, oral rehydration salt III is the first choice. If you insist on the advantages of the German version, it is probably that people have strawberry and banana flavors, which is convenient for babies to accept.

Germany Xianlubei drops are used for acute and chronic sinusitis, and are suitable for children, teenagers, pregnant women and the elderly over 2 years old. The main components are extracts of Gentiana scabra, Primula, Rumex Rumex, Sambucus williamsii and Verbena, and the ratio is 1:3:3:3:3. This really doesn't need Haitao, because this medicine has been legally registered in China, which is called "Ou Long Hemp Drops". You can buy it in regular hospitals and pharmacies with a prescription. Special attention should be paid to the fact that although it is used to treat rhinitis, it is oral drops, oral, oral ... I have seen some mothers put it in the baby's nose and then send it to the wrong place ... This is also one of the disadvantages of Haitao medicine, which is the language barrier and the lack of professional medication guidance.

Pentfuran antidiarrheal lotion, advertised as banana flavor, is also easy to accept when the baby has diarrhea. The main ingredient of this medicine is "furacilin". It is an antibiotic, which can kill pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli in the intestine and belongs to nitrofurans. There are few drugs directly used for children in China, so such drugs are rarely seen. Some parents may have guessed what I want to say. Infantile diarrhea should be prevented from dehydration. As long as it is not dehydration, most people will be fine without taking medicine for a few days. When the baby has diarrhea, you can use oral rehydration salts.

Besides, I have to say more. More and more parents like "foreign Chinese medicine". Although the research on plant extracts in Germany is very advanced and active at present, and many good products have been produced, many products are still under development. No matter how well advertised, we still need to be careful when choosing, especially for young babies.

Well, seeing this, parents may have found that many very good German drugs have actually registered with the US Food and Drug Administration in China and entered the China market. Don't rely on translation software, and then go to Haitao.

Finally, I wish the babies good health!
