Medicine Baby Analysis

The method of pinching the nose to inject medicine is not only unscientific, but may also cause certain harm to children:

1. Pinching the nose to pour medicine may cause aspiration pneumonia. If you pour medicine when the child is crying, struggling or taking a deep breath, the medicine will enter the trachea and cause choking and coughing. After the medicine enters the trachea, it will also cause aspiration pneumonia.

2. Pinching the nose to pour medicine may cause otitis media. When parents pinch their children's noses to pour medicine, the medicine may enter the nasal cavity because the child's nasopharynx is not closed. The Eustachian tube (also known as the Eustachian tube) is a channel connecting the nasopharynx and the middle ear. Children's Eustachian tubes are short and straight, and the medicine can easily enter the Eustachian tube and then enter the middle ear, causing otitis media.

3. Pinching the nose to pour medicine may also cause damage to the nose. Children's nasal mucosa and blood vessels are very delicate. If the force of pinching the nose is not appropriate, it will cause damage.
