Hello everyone, I am Huang Jingxian, attending physician of the Department of Pediatric Internal Medicine of Guangzhou First People's Hospital, and you can call me Dr. Huang. I have been practicing in a tertiary hospital for 12 years and have been working in the clinical front line for a long time.
Recently, it has entered a period of high incidence of influenza, and many friends with children are hanging in the air again.
In the past two days, everyone has asked a lot about the use of oseltamivir. Today, I would like to share with you the typical three questions of a mother I met in the outpatient clinic.
Question 1:
Can I have oseltamivir at home?
Mom askedThis time, the flu is ferocious, and the circle of friends has swiped a few friends asking for Tuffy. To be on the safe side,Can I have some oseltamivir at home?
A:OK. Tamiflu, or oseltamivir, is a popular drug that works better when used within 48 hours of illness.
Oseltamivir prophylaxis against influenza requires two conditions:
1.Children (especially those younger than 5 years of age) who are in the high-risk group and have not received an influenza vaccine or have immunocompromised conditions, have not responded to vaccines, or have been vaccinated for less than 2 weeks
2.Have been in contact with someone who is suspected to have confirmed influenza, or have recently traveled to a public outbreak site.
For children who do not meet the above 2 conditions, oseltamivir is not recommended as a prophylactic drug because there may be *** and develop drug resistance.
Question 2:
How much oseltamivir should I take?
Mom asked againIf your baby has the flu, how much should I eat?
A:Generally, take medicine twice a day, a course of treatment for 5 days, and if it is a severe patient, the course of treatment can be appropriately extended. The amount of food eaten each time depends on the age and weight of the child. The following are the recommended dosages for reference:
Recommended dosage for children under 1 year of age:
0 8 months of age, 30 mg kg, 2 times daily.
9 11 months of age, 35 mg kg twice daily.
Recommended dose for children 1 year of age and older:
For those weighing less than 15 kg, 30 mg twice daily.
For patients weighing 15 to 23 kg, 45 mg twice a day.
For patients weighing 23 to 40 kg, 60 mg twice a day.
For those weighing more than 40 kg, 75 mg twice daily.
Question three:
What should I pay attention to when taking oseltamivir?
Mom asked againIf it is used to prevent the flu, what should I pay attention to when taking medicine?
A:If it is used to prevent influenza, you can use the dose above**, but once a day is sufficient, and it should be used for 7 days.
However, it should be reminded that after taking it, some children will experience vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, etc
Influenza vaccination is the most recommended way to prevent influenza rather than using medication to prevent influenza.
