What should pediatric drug treatment pay attention to

Choice of administration route: we advocate "no intramuscular injection for oral administration, no intravenous administration for intramuscular injection". Although the injection method is accurate in dosage, quick in effect and not affected by digestive fluid, it also has its shortcomings. In addition to disinfection of injection site, the quality of drug, irritation of drug, toxicity of drug itself, particles and pyrogen in infusion can cause serious adverse reactions and even death. When the condition is not serious, please choose oral or intramuscular administration, when the condition is serious, choose intravenous administration.

The dosage should be accurate: the dosage of children must be calculated according to their age or weight. Adverse drug reactions may occur due to large dosage or rapid intravenous infusion, which is beyond the tolerance of children.

The choice of drugs should be appropriate: some important organs of children, such as liver and kidney, are not mature, the secretion of liver enzymes is insufficient or lacking, and the renal clearance function is poor. The use of drugs with high toxicity and serious adverse reactions should be avoided.
