Despite the fact that antiviral drugs used to treat children are often inexpensive, they effectively fight harmful organisms, relieve symptoms of diseases, and alleviate the condition of the child. To get a quick result, parents need to study their regimen, selection method and a list of the most effective means.

Antiviral agents for the treatment of children, in addition to their classification into inexpensive and expensive, are also divided into:

In addition to dividing by the type of virus affected by the agents in question, they can also be classified into groups, depending on the age of the child.

How to choose a remedy based on the age of the child

Medicines, correctly selected taking into account the age of the child, will not only relieve him of malaise in the shortest possible time, but will not harm his health.

Preparations for children under 1 year

An antiviral agent for children (an inexpensive medicine is usually an analogue of a more popular brand) up to a year is prescribed by a pediatrician if the child does not have vomiting, convulsions or fever. Otherwise, the child is sent to the infectious diseases department for treatment with heavy antibiotics.

The difference between drugs prescribed for patients of this age group is their natural composition. In most cases, there is only one active component - interferon, which can not only destroy viruses in the child's body as quickly as possible, but also minimize the risk of complications, for example, the addition of a bacterial infection.

More often than others, pediatricians prescribe to children under one year of age:

Antiviral from 1 to 3 years

If, at the initial stage of a childhood illness, parents took appropriate measures to prevent its progression (plentiful drinking, washing the nasal passages, isolation from large crowds of people), the body of a two-year-old baby is able to overcome the virus on its own.

To help the immune system, pediatricians usually prescribe homeopathic medicines, as well as those that include interferon and immunomodulatory components.

For example:

• Aflubin;
• Viburkol;
• Laferobion;
• Gropyrinosine;
• Flavozid.

The best antiviral drugs for children from 3 years

Most often, small patients after 3 years of viral diseases are treated by doctors:

• Anaferon;
• Aflubin;
• Arbidol;
• Kagocel;
• Viburkol.

An antiviral agent for children (an inexpensive medicine is most often no less effective than expensive analogues) at the age of 3 years is different in that it can also be used in the treatment of adults. This becomes possible, given that by this age the microflora of the children's intestines is fully formed, and the first hormonal changes are already behind.

Medicines for older children

For the treatment of viral diseases in older children, it is necessary to use stronger agents.

Among them:

Pediatricians prescribe antiviral drugs to schoolchildren only as a last resort. This is due to the fact that the body of children of this age independently produces interferon in large quantities, even at a body temperature above 38 degrees.

How often can you give your child antiviral drugs

Children's immunity is formed by remembering viruses and bacteria with which he had to fight earlier. Despite the constant mutation of harmful organisms, the immune system recognizes the original causative agent of the disease and independently destroys its cells.

That is why pediatricians often do not recommend giving the child antiviral drugs often. They, with their indiscriminate use, artificially suppress the focus of the disease, preventing the child's body from recovering on its own.

This causes the formation of weakened immunity, frequent illnesses of the child, as well as a slowdown in the overall pace of its development (physical and mental).

It is possible to give antiviral drugs to babies only taking into account the basic recommendations of doctors:

1. Prophylactic administration of drugs of the segment under consideration during epidemics is permissible only if there is already a sick person in the immediate environment of the child.
2. Follow the 7-day cycle: 2 days the baby is given medicine as a prophylaxis, while reducing its age-specific therapeutic dosage by half; 5 days break. The duration of taking antiviral drugs according to this scheme is from 2 weeks to 2 months.

If it is necessary to use such drugs in drug treatment, the duration of the course is usually no more than 7 days (in the first days, a loading dose is required).

Inexpensive, but effective drugs in tablets

An antiviral agent for children (inexpensive, produced in the form of tablets) is conveniently used to treat children from 2-3 years old. Despite the manufacturer's recommendations to allow certain drugs to be taken at an earlier age, parents note that it is inconvenient to dissolve the tablets several times a day to give them to the baby.

Acyclovir

According to the instructions, Acyclovir is approved for use in the treatment of children older than 2 years.

Anaferon Children's

The manufacturer of Anaferon allows children over the age of 4 weeks to take their drug.

It is permissible to start treatment of a child with Cycloferon not earlier than the moment he reaches 4 years of age.

Remantadine

Amiksin for children

Candles of antiviral action

An antiviral agent for children (inexpensive and effective) is also available in the form of rectal suppositories. In this form, the drugs are most convenient in the treatment of young children who do not want to take medicines in the traditional way.

Viferon

Viferon can be taken by children from birth.

Genferon Light

In order to avoid unforeseen consequences of taking Genferon Light, its use in the treatment of children is permissible only after they reach 7 years of age.

Suspensions and syrups

Suspensions and syrups prescribed by pediatricians to small patients as antiviral agents often cause vomiting. The child's body, being in a wounded state, thus rejects the dyes, sweeteners and flavors contained in these preparations.

When ingested, suspensions and syrups are absorbed into the circulatory system faster than their counterparts and give a visible improvement in the shortest possible time.

Anaferon

The drug is most effective in relieving symptoms of malaise in children aged 1 to 3 years.

Orvirem

Cytovir-3

Cytovir-3 in suspension is prescribed by pediatricians for children over the age of 1 year.

Remedies for the common cold

Interferon

The drug is approved for the treatment of children from birth.

According to the instructions, Grippferon is approved for instillation into the nose of children from the first days of life.

Oftalmoferon

Oftalmoferon is approved for use by children from birth.

Aktipol

Aktipol can be used in the treatment of children aged 1 month.

Ointments, gels, creams

Antiviral ointments are most commonly used as a preventive measure. Due to their composition, they trap microbes, preventing the virus from spreading to the mucous membranes. Usually they are applied to the area in front of the child's nose, parallel to its border.

Viferon

Viferon in this form is not recommended for use in the treatment of children under one year old.

Oxolinic ointment

Oxolinic ointment can be applied to the mucous membrane of children from birth.

Acyclovir

According to the instructions, the use of acyclovir is allowed for children older than 3 months.

What antiviral drugs should not be given to children and why?

1. Bromhexine and preparations similar to it in composition. Their active components are quite aggressive and can cause an unpredictable reaction in the child's body.
2. tilaksin and its analogues. Such drugs should be avoided due to their proven high toxicity.
3. Drugs with unproven efficacy, for example, Cycloferon or Timogen. They not only do not improve the well-being of the child, but can also provoke the occurrence of side effects.

In choosing antiviral agents for the treatment of a child, one should not rely on their fame. Often, an inexpensive and unknown drug can both relieve the symptoms of an incipient disease and stimulate the work of children's immunity.

Why do doctors often diagnose ARVI in infants? Treatment and symptoms, prevention are the main issues that parents are interested in.

Carrying a child inside herself for 9 months, the mother protects him from various infectious and viral diseases thanks to her immune system. As soon as the baby is born, his body must defend itself, adapt to those viruses and infections that affect it.

Since the baby's immune system is not yet fully formed, parents are faced with a problem: the baby has a cold. What to do? How to help the baby? What effective antiviral drug to choose? Let's consider these questions.

What diseases are included in the SARS group?

Having diagnosed SARS in infants, the doctor in each case selects an individual treatment. This situation is easily explained. SARS is the name of a group of diseases caused by viruses in the respiratory tract.

As medical reference books show, the SARS group includes the following diseases:

• adenovirus infection. It affects the eyes, upper respiratory tract and intestines of the child.
• Influenza and parainfluenza. There is a general intoxication of the body, inflammatory processes in the larynx.
• inflammatory processes in
• A respiratory syncytial infection that causes inflammation in the lower airways.

As medical statistics show, babies get ARVI from 1 to 7 times a day. And here it is very important to get qualified help, proper treatment, since the consequences of ARVI in infants can be serious. It has also been proven that excessive use of drugs can cause blocking of the production of one's own antibodies to the virus.

Features of the course of acute respiratory viral infections in children under six months

In the first six months of life, it is important to think about how a mother does not infect a baby with a cold. Basically, contact with viruses occurs precisely through the mother or the guests who come to the house.

SARS in infants, symptoms and treatment have their own characteristics. First, the disease manifests itself gradually. The child becomes lethargic, may be capricious, the body temperature rises slightly. Symptoms of SARS are not pronounced, and many parents associate such manifestations with teething, weather changes, and slight hypothermia.

If you do not consult a doctor in a timely manner and do not start treatment, then the clinical picture appears brighter. The baby refuses to eat, stops breastfeeding, rapidly loses weight. A weak cough may begin, nasal congestion, which is manifested by sniffing in a dream. Vomiting is also a common symptom.

Features of treatment

Having established the development of acute respiratory viral infections in infants, treatment should be started as soon as possible, since serious inflammatory processes in the ear or lungs, bronchi can begin. Inflammatory processes in the larynx are also not uncommon. This is caused by the anatomical features of children under one year old, when the cough is strong and paroxysmal does not allow the child to fully breathe.

The presence in the first 6 months of life of SARS in infants Komarovsky regards as a positive, natural stress that helps the immune system to fight viruses and bacteria in the future.

What should young mothers pay attention to in the first 6 months of a baby's life with SARS?

When treating SARS in infants, Komarovsky draws the attention of parents to the following:

What drugs can be used for the baby in the first 6 months of life?

An effective antiviral drug for a baby in the first 6 months has not yet been found. Doctors advise not to use drugs at all, especially antibiotics, as they can cause allergic reactions and intestinal disorders.

Medications are used only when the baby's condition is critical, and it will not be possible to cure it in another way.

Doctors say that drugs for ARVI for children of the first year are not needed, it is enough to create optimal conditions and seek qualified help in time.

1. Optimum air temperature and humidity in the room. This helps protect the baby from overheating, sore throat and dry cough.
2. Do not force feed your baby.
3. Use as much liquid as possible. If the baby refuses water, then it is better to apply
4. Cleanse your nose regularly. Salt solution can be used for this. By removing regularly accumulated mucus, you can not only reduce the concentration of viruses, but also improve the breathing, sleep and nutrition of the baby.
5. Do not use vasoconstrictor drugs for the nose, they can be quickly addictive.
6. The temperature in the baby is always accompanied by ARVI, but it is necessary to fight it with the help of drugs only with indicators from 38.5 degrees. All means to reduce the temperature should be based on paracetamol or ibuprofen.

Features of the treatment of children from 6 months to a year

In the period from 6 months to a year, the chances of ARVI in infants increase. Treatment in this case will already include certain drugs prescribed by the doctor. But each of these drugs gives high efficiency if it is used in the first 2 days after infection.

The incubation period of SARS in infants can vary from 1 to 3 days, while the symptoms will gradually appear.

High temperature is always an indication for hospitalization of a child whose age does not exceed 1 year. Delay is dangerous to his life.

What parents need to know!

At this age, it is already necessary to bring down the temperature from 38 degrees, since many children have a high convulsive threshold. In the case when a child has a history of severe diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular or respiratory systems, then an increase in temperature above 37.5 is very dangerous.

To reduce the temperature, it is better to use candles based on paracetamol. Medicines containing these components are strictly prohibited and can cause serious and severe side effects. The most dangerous is Reye's syndrome or agranulocytosis.

Doctors for children of this age group can prescribe nasal drops, but not more than 2-3 days. They will be effective only if the baby is washed with a soda or saline nose.

With a strong cough, drugs may already be prescribed to thin the sputum and expectorate it. To speed up recovery, kids are recommended juices and fruit drinks from such plants: viburnum, black radish (with honey), lemon (with honey), raspberries.

The stage of natural stimulation of the immune system will be important. Doctors recommend the use of multivitamin complexes, ascorbic acid, echinacea tinctures, ginseng.

Any treatment should be prescribed only by a doctor! It is strictly forbidden to use drugs at your own discretion, you cannot treat ARVI with drugs that were used in previous times of the disease. Their effectiveness will be low, because the body is always addictive and adapting the virus to certain drugs.

In what cases it is necessary to immediately call an ambulance

A baby under the age of one year cannot talk about his feelings during SARS. Parents can only see the symptoms, whims, apathy of the baby. But there are cases when it is necessary to immediately call an ambulance, otherwise the child may develop serious complications. We list the most common cases:

1. Severe chills, high temperature, which has not been knocked down by drugs for more than 45 minutes. This condition can lead to seizures.
2. Sudden loss of consciousness.
3. Rapid breathing, accompanied by wheezing, the impossibility of inhaling to the full chest.
4. Diarrhea and vomiting that does not stop. Many parents associate such symptoms with poisoning, but they can also be a sign of intoxication during SARS.
5. Severe inflammation of the throat, which is accompanied by swelling of the larynx.
6. Purulent discharge that appeared with sputum.
7. Increased cough, its paroxysmal character.

What serious complications can SARS lead to?

Unfortunately, not all parents understand how serious the consequences of ignoring medical care for ARVI can be. Self-treatment, the use of medications at your own discretion or on the advice of a pharmacist, traditional medicine can cause the development of such complications:

• False croup. At the age of up to a year, such a complication can pose a threat to the life of the baby. Due to the fact that the lumen in the larynx narrows, the normal passage of air is blocked. The baby may develop asphyxia.
• The most dangerous has always been allergic stenosis. It develops rapidly after the use of a certain medication. The most important task of parents is to cope with their own panic. The child must be taken out to fresh air and an ambulance should be called immediately.
• bronchiolitis. Such a reaction is a common occurrence in infants with ARVI. Children in the first 5 days of illness may experience severe respiratory failure. A viscous discharge comes from the nose, which does not go well. The cough is dry and paroxysmal. The child cannot inhale fully, and the exhalation is long and intermittent. In its course, bronchiolitis resembles an attack of bronchial asthma in an adult. Treatment of such children is carried out only in the hospital, as the baby may urgently need oxygen therapy.
• If the baby has an infection, then the condition worsens sharply, and the inflammatory process descends into the lungs. Treatment is carried out only in a hospital.
• Otitis and sinusitis. This complication mainly occurs after the treatment of ARVI. A healthy child has anxiety, a cry, he shakes his head, the temperature rises again. Treatment will also be carried out only in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
• Sinusitis. It manifests itself on the 6-7th day after SARS. The child begins to cry, turn his head, his sleep is disturbed. Discharge with an unpleasant odor and impurities of pus begins to come out of the nose. The face clearly shows signs of puffiness. With light pressure on the sinuses and cheeks, the baby begins to cry. Sinusitis always requires emergency treatment, since the anatomical structure of the newborn is the minimum distance from the nasal, ear sinuses to the brain membrane. With a strong inflammatory process, the likelihood of inflammation of the meninges is always high.

Prevention of SARS in infants, how to protect a child from infection

You don't have to wait until your child gets sick. Prevention of SARS in infants always helps to solve several problems. Firstly, the risk of infection is minimized, and secondly, the body becomes resistant to re-infection. By choosing an integrated approach, you can protect the baby not only in infancy, but also in subsequent years in kindergarten and school.

1. Minimize the number of contacts the baby has with sick people. You need to understand that infection of the baby is possible not only at home, but also when traveling in public transport, in the queues of a hospital or a store. It is also worth protecting the child in the event that one of the relatives is ill. In this case, the sick person should wear a bandage that will reduce the amount of viruses spread by coughing and sneezing.
2. Regular ventilation of the room. At any age, fresh air from the street is useful for a person. It will help to humidify the air in the room, reduce the temperature to optimal levels, and avoid stagnation.
3. Viruses have the peculiarity to persist for a long time indoors, not only in the air, but also in things and interior items. The key to health will be daily wet cleaning. Every day, items of frequent use should be wiped: handles on doors, switches.
4. Before contact with the baby, wash your hands with soap and water.
5. If the family has a baby, it is recommended that all other family members undergo preventive vaccination. Many doctors recommend that parents get vaccinated even before pregnancy is planned. This will help develop a strong child's immunity against SARS viruses.

SARS in infants, symptoms and treatment, preventive measures - these are the basic concepts that all parents should know. Awareness, the ability to identify the symptoms of the disease in time and qualified medical care are the basis for a quick recovery and good health later on.
