The child's body is in the process of formation and cannot always fight back bacteria, allergens and toxins. And at the same time, the child continuously learns about the world, managing to come into contact with a much larger number of harmful and toxic compounds than adults. This is why it is so often necessary to give Polysorb to children. The instructions for use even have a special section with detailed dosages for different ages.

You will learn:

When to give sorbent to a child?

The need to use sorbents is most often associated with food poisoning, and this is completely the right approach. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea are direct indications for the use of Polysorb. However, it is worth considering that poisoning children's body Not only food products can: most bacteria and viruses that cause colds, are quite toxic. An adult feels their influence as a characteristic ache in the muscles and joints, and for children under one year old such poisoning can be fatal. Polysorb for children in such a situation is practically the only way get rid of nausea and weakness.

Polysorb can be given to a child at fever - to reduce negative influence heat on the body. If we are talking about ARVI, sore throat, pyelonephritis, bronchitis and any infectious diseases, the sorbent will be necessary even after the acute phase - until complete recovery.

Allergic reactions, dermatitis and eczema are very painful for a child, and occur in many children. Polysorb for children in this situation becomes a real salvation: it binds allergens and toxins, facilitates the functioning of the liver, and most importantly, does not harm the baby’s health. Removing dangerous compounds from the body of an allergic person may take some time, and it is reasonable to give Polysorb in a course lasting 1 month or longer. This is especially true for seasonal reactions.

How to give Polysorb correctly?

Since Polysorb is non-toxic and does not contain auxiliary compounds, its overdose does not have too much effect on the child’s body. However, we should not forget that even the highest quality sorbent can capture and remove not only toxins, but also vitamins, useful compounds, microelements. That is why instructions have been developed on how to take Polysorb, and in it you can find children’s and adult dosage, converted into grams, as well as teaspoons and tablespoons for convenience.

The instructions also provide answers to the most common questions, for example, at what age and how many times a day to give the drug, how to dilute it, whether Polysorb can be given to children in milk or added to infant formula, whether it is worth forcing a child to take the medicine and how to do it correctly persuade the child to drink the unpleasant suspension.

The brevity of the instructions, unfortunately, limits the amount of information, but we can consider all the issues in more detail. So, at what age should the drug be given and what is the dosage for children?

Polysorb for children under one year old

Polysorb is well tolerated and is approved for use by pregnant women and during lactation. Moreover, due to the absence of dyes and flavors, it is the safest for the treatment of asthmatics, children with liver and kidney diseases. The porous structure of silicon dioxide allows the most gentle binding of gases and toxins, without leading to constipation and even stimulating peristalsis in some cases.

There is absolutely no need to give such a volume of the drug once; it is optimal to divide the dose into 3-4 parts and drink the diluted powder in the morning, at lunch, at 6-7 pm and immediately at night. If we are talking about allergies, then the duration of treatment will be 14 days, and one-time appointment will be equal to approximately ¼ teaspoon per third glass of water or juice.

In case of one-time poisoning, the child is given a solution of 2 tablespoons of the drug in a full glass of water to drink. This will stop vomiting in 1-4 minutes and quickly absorb toxins. The second, third and subsequent receptions must be calculated based on their body weight.

Children 1-3 years old and older

Weight up to 10 kg is usually found in babies under one year old. Accordingly, the amount of sorbent for this age is minimal. Children weighing from 11 to 20-22 kg will need a larger daily amount of sorbent; only the dose for poisoning remains unchanged, which is important to give immediately. Treatment for viral infections, allergies and chronic diseases will require about 2 heaped teaspoons per day. The drug should be diluted separately for each dose.

Jelly, juices with pulp and tender soufflés washed down with plenty of water come to the rescue. Reviews show that every child has a favorite dish that can be “seasoned” with Polysorb. It is even possible to use broths - if you dilute the drug in a liquid puree soup, the sorbent will be more pleasant and easier to drink.

Older children, weighing from 21 to 30 kg, can be shown a trick with insoluble “sugar” and add Polysorb to the compote. The diet at this age is already very varied, and the possibility of exchange arises: drink a tasteless sorbent in exchange for your favorite fruit. The dosage at one time will be about 60 ml, that is, about a heaping teaspoon per half glass of water.

Senior preschoolers and junior schoolchildren with a weight of 31 to 40 kg, about 75-100 ml of Polysorb are obtained at one time. The permitted options with juices are gradually being replaced by a more correct one - with water. Teenagers up to 60 kg already receive a level tablespoon, and those who have crossed the 60 kg mark are calculated as a single dose as a heaped tablespoon. If Polysorb is prescribed for cleansing, as a concomitant drug during long-term therapy or for intestinal infections, the doses calculated by the pediatrician should be considered priority. The instructions describe the basic treatment plan and the most average dosages.

Polysorb against intoxication

The variety of indications for the use of Polysorb in children may raise doubts in a hyper-responsible mother, however, if we summarize all the reasons for taking the sorbent, it turns out that the drug solves one problem: it fights intoxication.

It makes sense that the symptoms caused by bacteria and viruses are very different from those of food poisoning, since the toxic compounds are completely different and have different effects on a child's well-being. However, despite these differences, they remain toxins and have a similar structure. Which, in turn, is perfectly absorbed into the grains of silicon dioxide.

The mechanism of operation of the sorbent is the same with both liquid and gaseous poisons that enter the digestive tract or arise there during the life of pathogenic microorganisms. This versatility allows the drug, approved from birth, to be used for a wide variety of diseases.

Removing toxins and poisons allows the body to release strength to resist the disease, instead of expending energy to neutralize the poisoning. For a child, such savings are even more important than for an adult and allow them to overcome colds, allergies, rotaviruses and exacerbations of chronic diseases with minimal losses.
