Based on Anchi Baranova's video "Questions about Vaccines". Ancha stated that antihistamines work well to bring down fever. Especially in children. I believe that this is heresy that is unhealthy. I explain. Antihistamines do not lower body temperature, but raise it. This is how they work.
Antihistamines are harmful to children. And especially antihistamines of the first generation like diphenhydramine, which we love very much. They are bad for children on the head and bad for the heart of children. The classic set of symptoms of antihistamine overdose in children:
- dry skin;
- visual impairment;
- increased body temperature;
- redness of the skin;
- excitement and inadequacy.
Antihistamines do not help children with colds. At all.
The myth about the effectiveness of antihistamines at a temperature started because of the stupid lytic mixture, which we also love. Analgin acts in the lytic mixture. The rest of the components are not needed there. But dads and moms believe in diphenhydramine. This is a harmful foolishness.
I also have the idea that fever was confused with hay fever. Fever is a high body temperature and hay fever is an allergic rhinitis. Hence the confusion.
Once again, antihistamines are not used to lower body temperature. This is a bad bike.
