Inhalations in the cold with a nebulizer - recipes for children

Today, one of the most effective and, at the same time, safe ways to treat a cold is inhalation with the help of a nebulizer. In addition, this method is also excellent for preventive purposes.

In this article, we will tell you about the benefits of inhalation with a nebulizer in the common cold for children, and also give some recipes that can be used to treat certain diseases.

What is the advantage of inhalations for treating a common cold in children?

Inhalations by a nebulizer help to alleviate the condition of a sick child as quickly as possible. In the case of treatment with rhinitis tablets, to achieve the same result, it will take much longer, because with oral intake the drug first enters the digestive tract, and only then spreads throughout the body and reaches the nasal cavity. During this period, most of the active substances are simply lost, and the treatment process is delayed.

Various drops and sprays, on the contrary, too quickly leave the nasal cavity, draining along the walls of the nasopharynx. That is why their action extends only to a very short period of time. In addition, both tablets and drops negatively affect all the internal organs of a person, whereas nebulizer therapy is almost safe.

With what to do nebulization to a child with a cold?

There are many different solutions for inhalation by a nebulizer, which can be used for a runny nose. However, only a doctor should prescribe any medication. A qualified doctor may prescribe certain medications by conducting the necessary examinations and assessing the patient's state of health.

For inhalation with a nebulizer for a cold, the following preparations can be used:

1. If the cause of the common cold is staphylococcus, chlorophyllipt is used to treat it . Chlorfillipt, like all other products from the common cold for children, is diluted with saline for inhalations by a nebulizer. The ratio here is 1:10.
2. In the treatment of chronic rhinitis caused by diseases of the respiratory system, the homeopathic remedy Tonzilgon is used. This preparation includes extracts of althaea, horsetail, oak bark, yarrow, camomile and dandelion. For inhalations by a nebulizer for babies up to the year, Tonzilgon is bred in physiological saline in a ratio of 1: 3, children from 1 to 7 years - 1: 2, and for children over 7 years and adults - 1: 1.
3. In acute inflammation of the nasopharynx, an alcoholic tincture of calendula is used, which must first be diluted in a proportion of 1:40.
