Lagnat? Relax! Hayaan Lang (1)
👉Hindi delikado ang lagnat. Hindi kailangang pababain ang lagnat sa pamamagitan ng gamot.
"Fever is a physiological mechanism that has beneficial effects in fighting infection. Although many parents administer antipyretics (medications to reduce a fever) such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to a child to reduce a fever, the report emphasizes that the primary goal should be to help the child feel more comfortable rather than to maintain a “normal” temperature."
🔹Hindi kailangang gumamit ng gamot para pababain ang lagnat
"Fever, however, is not the primary illness but is a physiologic mechanism that has beneficial effects in fighting infection. There is no evidence that fever itself worsens the course of an illness or that it causes long-term neurologic complications. Thus, the primary goal of treating the febrile child should be to improve the child’s overall comfort rather than focus on the normalization of body temperature."
🔹Maganda ang lagnat. Ang ibig sabihin nyan ay nilalabanan ng katawan mo ang impeksyon. Mas hindi advisable na kusang pinapababa ito.
"Approximately one-half of parents consider a temperature of less than 38°C (100.4°F) to be a fever, and 25% of caregivers would give antipyretics for temperatures of less than 37.8°C (100°F).".
🔹Hindi tama ito ayon sa APA.
"Unfortunately, as many as one-half of parents administer incorrect doses of antipyretics; approximately 15% of parents give supratherapeutic [ Administered at levels greater than would be used in actual treatment of a medical condition] of acetaminophen or ibuprofen."
🔹Ang mga magulang ay masyadong madalas magbigay ng gamot sa lagnat, at madalas ay overdose. Napapraning kaagad kung may lagnat ang mga anak nila.
"It should be emphasized that fever is not an illness but is, in fact, a physiologic mechanism that has beneficial effects in fighting infection. Fever retards the growth and reproduction of bacteria and viruses, enhances neutrophil production and T-lymphocyte proliferation, and aids in the body’s acute-phase reaction."
🔹Mas pinapagana ng lagnat ang ating immune system para labanan ang anumang impeksyon -viral o bacterial.
"There is no evidence that children with fever, as opposed to hyperthermia [heat stroke from extreme environmental heat], are at increased risk of adverse outcomes such as brain damage."
🔹Hindi nakakasira ang lagnat sa utak
"Studies of health care workers, including physicians, most believe that the risk of heat-related adverse outcomes is increased with temperatures above 40°C (104°F), although this belief is not justified."
🔹Ang lagnat na 40 C ay hindi delikado
