Infant accidentally swallowed erythromycin ointment

Roxithromycin is an antibacterial drug. Roxithromycin ointment has a good anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. If infants and young children accidentally take roxithromycin ointment, it depends on whether the child has some specific symptoms. Generally, as long as the amount is not large, the impact is relatively small. Of course, if the baby has some abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid greater impact on the baby's health.

What to do if your baby accidentally swallows medicine

1. Find out what kind of medicine your child has accidentally ingested. 1. Accidental ingestion of general medicines. If you are sure that your baby has accidentally ingested general medicines, such as vitamins and cough syrups with very small toxic side effects, don't worry too much. Let your baby drink more cold boiled water to dilute the medicine and excrete it in time. 2. Accidental ingestion of drugs with dosage restrictions. Some drugs have strong side effects and toxicity, and have certain dosage restrictions. For example, sleeping pills, certain antispasmodics, antipyretics, antibiotics and contraceptives. If children accidentally ingest the drug, they will experience toxic and side effects of varying degrees, such as dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, or fall into drowsiness or coma, a rapidly accelerating (or slowing) heartbeat, or even shock, which is life-threatening. If a child is found to have taken these medicines by mistake and the situation is urgent and there is no time to send the child to the hospital, parents must quickly use fingers, chopsticks, etc. to stimulate the child's tongue root (posterior pharyngeal wall) to induce vomiting, and then have the child drink large amounts of tea and soapy water to repeatedly vomit and wash the stomach. After inducing vomiting and gastric lavage, let the child drink a few glasses of milk and 3 to 5 raw egg whites to nourish the stomach and detoxify.
