How long after the baby is infused can he take a bath? What are the hazards of frequent infusion for babies?

After a baby has been sick and received an IV drip, his body functions have not yet fully recovered. Generally, he needs to eat light food for a few days to recuperate. However, some babies like to take a bath and will not go to bed until they have taken a bath. Can the baby take a bath at this time?

How long after the baby has been infused can he or she take a bath depends on the specific situation. If the baby has a severe cold or a high fever, it is not advisable to take a bath in a short period of time after the infusion treatment. Because the condition is serious and the body is weak at this time, taking a bath is likely to make the condition worse and is not conducive to treatment. For severe colds and fevers, it is recommended to take a bath after one week of infusion treatment, when the baby is in a better recovery state.

Because the infusion will leave pinholes on the skin, taking a bath too early can easily make the pinholes wet, which can easily cause local swelling, suppuration and infection. Therefore, even if the condition has recovered well, it is better not to take a bath within one or two days after the infusion. The pinholes can be better healed after three days, and it is relatively safe to take a bath at this time.

There are side effects. If babies are often treated with intravenous infusions after they are sick, they will become dependent on the drugs. It may also cause the baby's resistance to decline, and it will also have a certain impact on the baby's future physical development. Frequent intravenous infusions for treatment of babies after they are sick will also increase the burden on the baby's lungs. The narrowest capillaries in the human body are no more than 10 micrometers. After the drugs enter the blood, particles with a diameter larger than the narrowest capillaries will be filtered out by the lungs and will remain in the lungs, causing fibrosis of the lungs. The baby's breathing ability will decline, and the oxygen supply to the whole body may be affected. Therefore, if the baby's cold is not very serious, you can give the baby more hot water and observe it. If the condition improves, there is no need to treat it with drugs.

allergy

Since the baby's own anti-allergic system is not well developed, if the child is frequently given intravenous infusions, it is very likely to cause the child to become dizzy. In severe cases, redness, swelling, allergies and other problems may occur. Therefore, we should pay attention to this matter.

toxicity

Medicines are toxic, which is what we often say, that medicines are always three-part toxic. When we take medicines orally normally, the actual process is that the medicines are digested by our stomach and intestines, but if we have an infusion, the medicines will definitely go directly into our blood, so it is more likely to cause adverse reactions.

abnormal

Babies are naturally lively and active. If you are not careful when giving an infusion to a child, the child may move the needle, which will be really troublesome. There is also the control valve on the infusion tube. If the child is curious and plays with that thing, it will seriously damage the child's immature kidneys. This is definitely not good.

rely

For children, they actually know which methods are more effective. If a child is sick, we will give him an IV. Over a long period of time, children will develop the idea of ​​having an IV when they are sick, which will affect their future lives. Secondly, giving children an IV will also make the germs resistant to drugs. Maybe we have only cured the child temporarily, but not in reality.

Safety

Children's skin is relatively fragile and they like to move around a lot. If we don't use the needle properly and prick the child somewhere else, this is definitely not okay. Secondly, if there are other bacteria on the needle, it can cause sepsis in children in severe cases. Therefore, infusion is actually very dangerous.
