What pain medications are suitable for children and nursing mothers?

Painkillers have become a lifeline for the modern person in many situations. Of course, if you comply with the dosage, take into account contraindications, do not abuse, tolerate pain when possible. But there are situations when the reception of pain medication is strictly contraindicated. Most effective drugs are prohibited for children, adults for certain diseases. Especially harmful painkillers for pregnant women! But there is always a way out, especially when it comes to modern medicine.

Analgesics for lactemia and pregnancy

During pregnancy, such pain as dental is especially unpleasant. Tooth can not always be treated, painkillers take - harmful for the child. Also during lactation. What if you endure the pain unbearably?

Paracetamol, children's panadol are suitable as an anesthetic, and for lowering the temperature. You can take them, but in small quantities. Aspirin is taken only in extreme cases, only on the advice of a doctor, and only in small quantities.

If necessary (after cesarean section, with inflammatory processes, with severe pains) ibuprofen or ketoprofen - strong painkillers will help, but they should be taken with caution under the supervision of a doctor.

In no case should you take analgin, and therefore all the drugs that it includes: tempalgin, pentalgin, andipal, baralgin, spasmalgon and others. It causes unwanted reactions from the cardiovascular system in the mother and in many cases - allergies in toddlers.

Such serious drugs as Nise, ketorol (well helping with toothache and others) can not be drunk at all with breastfeeding, pregnancy and certainly children.

If the situation, for example, with toothache has gone too far and painkillers do not help, you need to go to the reception and treat the tooth. Know, today for the anesthesia of young mothers, specially developed drugs are used: ubistesin, ultracaine.

Some mothers who take these or other medicines to protect the baby, resort to a decantation. Such a method is praiseworthy, if only you can accurately estimate for what period of your organism the complete drug will be taken out. And if you are not afraid that the baby suddenly stops taking breast, since you gave him a bottle once (this does not happen if the baby has a great appetite). Since the baby does not refuse to drink expressed milk from the bottle , why not ... Again, it is better to consult a doctor (with a pediatrician who regularly visits you from a local children's polyclinic).

Painkillers for children

What can be worse when a baby yells from pain, but you can not do anything? Thanks to modern medicine for safe drugs that relieve pain to our babies!

The same paracetamol will help, only in syrup. It is possible and in tablets, if there is no possibility to run to the pharmacy for syrup: a quarter of the tablet, after 20 minutes another quarter - will help better than the whole tablet!

Anaferon for children (with a funny penguin on the package) is an excellent substitute for aspirin. For a long time already pediatricians have prescribed this medication even to the youngest children with the strongest common cold, with the flu and some infectious diseases accompanied by fever and intense heat. Only caution: "keep the dosage!"

Most often as an anesthetic for children from 3 months to 12 years are called nurofen, as well as ibuprofen, asphyx (they are from one pharmacological group). They have the same action as paracetamol, aspirin. Indispensable in severe pain syndrome. Applied with acute colds, infectious diseases, during the period after vaccination (if there was a reaction in the form of a fever, heat), as well as with pains of different localization (dental, ear, head, in muscles). Contraindicated in asthmatics, with ulcers, bleeding, with insufficient renal or hepatic, as well as blood diseases.

In conclusion, I want to add: painkillers, of course, relieve unbearable pain, but their reception is justified only in extreme cases! Especially when it comes to children, nursing mothers and pregnant women. Always consult a doctor before taking a little-known drug. A well-known take only in extreme cases, in small quantities, in strict accordance with the instruction (or even less).
