Abstrakt | Fever is one of the most common reasons for searching the medical attention especially when ill pearson is child. Most parents are sure that high fever is dangerous for a child and that it must be quickly lowered. A few know that fever is only one of the clinical signs and it seems to be defense reaction of the organism. Still the smallest group believe that we benefit from fever during the illness. Because of these reasons antipiretics are the most common prescribed drugs. Some of them are buyable, so they are often used uncritically. | |
Izvleček | Vročina je eden najpogostejših vzrokov, zaradi katerih poišče bolnik zdravniško pomoč, še posebno, kadar gre za otroka. Večina staršev je prepričanih, da vročina preko 39 °C otroka ogroža in da jo je treba takoj znižati. Le malo se jih zaveda, da je vročina le eden od bolezenskih znakov in da jo štejemo med obrambne odzive organizma. Še manj pa je takih, ki verjamejo, da nam med boleznijo koristi. Zaradi omenjenih razlogov so antipiretiki najpogosteje predpisana skupina zdravil. Ker se nekatera dobijo tudi brez recepta, jih večkrat uporabljamo nekritično. | |
