Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin) The popular use of this medicine for simple diarrhea and other mild sicknesses are unnecessary, because it is so risky Use chloramphenicol only for very severe illnesses like typhoid Never give it to newborn infants Oxytocin (pitocin), Pituitrin and Ergo ovine (Ergotrate) Unfortunately, some midwives use these medicines to speed up childbirth or give strength to the mother in labor This practice is very dangerous It can kill the mother or the child Use the medicines only to control bleeding after the child is bom Injections of any medicine The common belief that injections are usually better than medicines taken by mouth which is not hue Many times medicines taken by mouth work as well as or better than injections In addition, most medicines are more dangerous injected than taken by mouth Use of injections should be very limited Penicillin Penicillin works only against certain types of infections Frequent use of penicillin for sprains, bruises or any pain or fever is a great mistake As a rule, injuries that not break the skin, even if they make large bruises, have no danger of infection, they not need to be treated with penicillin or any other antibiotics Penicillin is dangerous for some people Before using it, know its risks and the precautions you must take Injections/ Overuse of penicillin with streptomycin (There are many brand names) These medicines are used too much, and often for the wrong thing They should not be used for colds, for three reasons: a They not work against colds and flu b They can cause serious problems, some times deafness or death c Their overuse makes it more difficult to cure tuberculosis or other serious illnesses Vitamin B12 and liver extract These medicines not help anemia or weakness except in cases In addition, they have certain risks when they are injected They are only used when a health worker has prescribed them after the blood In nearly every case of anemia, iron pills will more good/ effective Other vitamins As a rule, DO NOT INJECT VITAMINS Injections are more dangerous, more expensive and usually no more effective than pills Unfortunately, many people waste their money on syrup, tonics, and elixirs that buying foods contain vitamins Many lack the most important vitamins But even when they contain them, it is wiser to buy more and better food Body building and protective foods like eggs, meat, fruit, vegetables and whole grains are rich in vitamins and other nutrients Giving a thin, weak person good food more often will usually help him far more than giving him vitamin and mineral supplements A person who eats well does not need extra vitamins Calcium Injecting calcium into a vein can be extremely dangerous It can quickly kill someone if it is not injected very slowly Injecting calcium into the buttocks sometimes causes very serious abscesses or infections Never inject calcium without first seeking medical advice Note: In Mexico and other countries where people eat many com tortillas or other foods prepared with lime, it is foolish to use calcium injections or tonics (as it is often done to give strength or help children grow) The body gets all the calcium it needs from the lime Feeding through the veins (intravenous injection or I.V solutions) In some areas, people who are anemic or very weak spend their last penny to have, a liter of I.V Solution put into their veins They believe that this will make them stronger or their blood richer However, they are wrong! Intravenous solution is not as good as pure water with some salt or sugar in it It gives less energy than a large candy bar and makes the blood thinner, not richer It does not help anemia or make the weak stronger In addition, when a person who is not well trained puts the I.V.solution into a vein, there is danger of an infection entering the blood This can kill the sick person Intravenous solution should be used only when a person can take nothing by mouth or when he is badly dehydrated If the sick person can swallow, give him a liter of water with a little sugar and salt It will as much for him as injecting a liter of I.V solution For people who are able to eat, nutritious foods more to strengthen them than any types of I V fluid If a sick person is able to swallow and keep down liquids 10 Laxative and purges It is always dangerous to give a laxative or purge to a baby or to anyone who is very weak, dehydrated or has severe pain in his belly Unfortunately, people often believe that purges bring back health or clean the bad things out of the body It is explained that purges or strong laxatives nearly always more harm than good VOCABULARY Abscess (n) /'æbses/ Áp xe Anemia (n) /ə'ni:miə/ Thiếu máu Antibiotic (n) /'æntibai'ɔtik/ Thuốc kháng sinh Bar (n) /ba:/ Thanh, vạch Bleed (v) /bli:d/ Chảy máu Blood (n) /blʌd/ Máu Bruise (n) /bru:z/ Vết tím bầm Common (adj) /'kɒmən/ - /'kɑ:mən/ Thông thường Corn tortilla (n) /kɔ:n tɔrˈtiə/ Bánh bột ngô Deafness (n) /´defnis/ Điếc Dehydrate (v) /di:´haidreit/ Mất nước Diarrhea (n)/ hoea /daiə´riə/ ỉa chảy Energy (n) /ˈɛnɜːdʒi/ Năng lượng Effective (adj) /'ifektiv/ Tác dụng Fever (n) /'fi:və/ Cơn sốt, sốt Foolish (adj) /´fu:liʃ/ Khờ dại, ngu đần Fluid (n) /ˈfluɪd/ Chất lỏng Elixir (n) /i´liksə/ Thuốc ngâm rượu, đan Grain (n) /grein Ngũ cốc Give strength (v) /giv 'streɳθ/ Trợ lực Inject (v) /ɪnˈdʒɛkt/ Tiêm, chích Infection (n) /in'fekʃn/ Nhiễm trùng/ khuẩn Injury (n) /'indʤəri/ Chỗ bị tổn thương Infant (n) /'infənt/ Trẻ sơ sinh Intravenous (adj) /intrə´vi:nəs/ Trong tĩnh mạch Iron pill (n) /aɪən ´pil/ Viên sắt Laxative (n) /´læksətiv/ Thuốc nhuận tràng Liquid (n) /'likwid/ Chất lỏng Lime (n) /laim/ Can xi, vôi Liver extract (n) /´livə ˈɛkstrækt/ Dầu gan cá Midwife (n) /´mid¸waif/ Nữ hộ sinh, bà đỡ Improper (adj) /im´prɔpə/ Sai, khơng thích hợp Overuse (v) /´ouvər¸ju:z/ Lạm dụng, q liều Mother in labor (n) /m^ðər in 'leibə/ Sản phụ 10 ... for medicines that not help them However, you can help them understand their health needs more clearly and spend theft money more wisely For example: If people come and ask for cough syrup ,for. .. people come and ask for cough syrup ,for diarrhea, for vitamin B12 or liver extract to treat simple anemia, for penicillin to treat sprain or ache, for tetracycline when they have a cold, explain... others are Unfortunately, people sometimes use very dangerous medicines for mild sicknesses I have seen a baby died because his mother gave him a dangerous medicine chloramphenicol, for a cold
