Turkish Emergency Medicine Association (TATD) Child Emergency Labor Group Member Specialist Şeyda Captain, last week, led to the loss of 2 people allegedly ‘yellow serum’ use to the children’s use of children, said that these applications made outside the supervision of physicians scattered a fatal danger. Thinking that children will recover faster, the families who receive serum service in non -hospital environments almost play with fire. Captain, now ‘Antibiotic Verin ‘insistence replaced,’ yellow serum ‘, he said. On the other hand social media Some of the accounts that can be easily accessed through, delivered to the address for 1500 TL, antibiotics for 300 TL and painkiller including needle provides service. Moreover, these procedures are performed with prescriptions printed on the phone without a doctor’s examination.
Children Also facing danger
With the arrival of the winter season, increasing viral infections in children, upper respiratory tract diseases and firearms do not reduce the demand despite the deaths of yellow serum. Despite the allegations that 2 people lost their lives with allergic shock after yellow serum last week, not only adults, but also children are facing this danger. Families, thinking that the child will recover in a short time, the emergencies insistently demand yellow serum, while physicians do not see this demand appropriate in pharmacies, health cabinets or social media accounts that take service to homes.
TATD Child Emergency Working Group Member and Emergency Medicine Specialist Şeyda Captain, said that they do not prefer serum in patients unless they are very necessary due to the risks of intravenous applications. Dr. Captain, atoms, vitamin cocktails marketed with concepts and made without even a doctor’s supervision of ‘non -hospital’ serum applications threatened life by stating that the important statements.
Serum 1500 TL, Needle 300 TL
On the other hand, some companies or people who can be easily reached via social media, delivery to the address of 1500 pounds, painkillers in vitamins, 6-7 pencil drugs with a cocktail serum 300 pounds of antibiotic and pain relief provides needle service. These applications without even a doctor’s examination can lead to life -threatening paintings instead of healing.
The new name of the insistence is serum
‘Mother Daughters Serum’, ‘Special Atom Serum for Children’, ‘At home, antipyretic painkillers’ slogans marketed with the slogans of these treatments, especially in these days, emphasizing that winter infections are frequently used. Captain, “Winter season, already in the school age, especially in the age of contamination of each other fever, cold symptoms, nasal discharge, cough, common muscle joint pain have increased complaints. Emergency service is increasing simultaneously.
The real problem is the increase in the demand for serum, the real pushes us. Because the families will heal faster with serum, but when the serum receives the child’s treatment will be completed with the belief. The belief of ‘serum healing’ is the biggest problem here. For a period, my child does not heal without antibiotics, and if he does not receive serum from his antibiotic teacher ‘section’; He began to return to the serum. It was so talked about in the family that my 3 -year -old child can say ‘put me serum, I will heal like that’. The child should not know this, “he said.
Can take it until death
Unless there is a serious loss of fluid in the child, the captain said that the serum does not help, “Allergic reaction with additional drugs put into it, vasovagal reaction (loss of consciousness), even death can go to anaphylactic shocks. We hear the health units that are not equipped with a network cabinets;
These are the most dangerous. Because every drug you give has the potential to have a side effect. Even when we wear it in the hospital, we follow the process by following our eyes. Wearing this in an uncontrolled environment requires a great courage. The allergic reaction stems from here. In addition, extra steroids, antibiotics, painkillers, antipyretic drugs can be added. Since they give all these drugs in the form of a mixture, we cannot even understand which one has developed allergic reactions. We know that they put 6-7 pencils in it. The danger here is growing even more, “he said.
There were those who had a heart
Mostly in his home or in an unsuitable out -of -hospital environment, he had serum inserted and then with an allergic reaction, the so -called arrest respiratory was suppressed, the heart stops with the paintings of many patients. Captain continued his words as follows: “For example, it was a case we had previously lived, he had serum in his house. At that moment, the person who applied at home against the allergic reaction that developed at that moment does not have any equipment, drugs. A serious edema was developed, and we could not even imagine the treatment of a young person. The most important parameter here “
“They think we don’t want to treat when we say that you don’t need it”
Currently, winter viruses summer viruses are all seen together. Şeyda Captain, “Now they are all confused. So we normally see the rotavirus infections we see in the summers now. However, the immune system has a healing process. Families want that the process is shortened, the child gets up faster. Most of these diseases stand up faster. It can be treated with an outpatient follow -up. The same thing for the child should never be done in an insecure environment.
Can have worse results
Especially today, allergic children’s population is very high. The captain ended his words as follows: We never cut the answer to these drugs. That’s why it is very dangerous to make these applications in this way. We hear that not only vitamins, but also painkillers at home. Abdominal pain, vomiting in a child or an adult painkillers have to choose here, while we have to give, there may be more vital for those who wear it. Even in more vital situations such as explosion in appendicitis, intestinal puncture, we cannot understand the cause of abdominal pain when pain relief serum is given. Because it affects the examination and diagnostic process for us. Patients apply to the hospital later because the pain is reduced at that moment, and this time we can face much worse results. “(DHA)
