Rio - Despite still being one of the most effective drugs to fight infections, the trivialization of the use of antibiotics has led pediatricians to use more accurate diagnosis because the children are creating drug resistance. A recent discovery of British experts pointed out that prolonged use of antibiotics in premature infants is also causing deafness. These are called aminoglycosides antibiotics used to treat certain infections but may affect renal function and auditory system of the child.
"If used in high doses and for a long time, the antibiotic can not do more effect on children. Moreover, most frequent problems in children are caused by viruses, and often, parents give antibiotics to children unnecessarily. In the long term, this medicine loses its functionality to the child, and take some medicine even stronger, "warns the pediatrician Maria Cristina Duarte.
The Head of the Pediatric Hospital Balbino, Antônio Carlos Turner, Brazil, excessive use of hospitals in emergencies must also be reviewed. "To treat the children, often no specialist in emergencies and the solution to cure any disease is the immediate use of antibiotics, which may further cause a gastritis or kidney disease in children," he says.
He advises that it should be better assessed if the child is reacting badly to infection using specific antibiotic. "In the second trial of medication with antibiotics without success, we conducted a culture of blood or antibiogram to evaluate which antibiotic will work best for treatment. This measure can save expenses with surgeries in the future, "he explains.
