How to use saline nasal in children

Most often found in children runny nose. It is recommended that the saline solution from the common cold in children as treatment. A weak immune system, the surrounding adverse environment, the possible heredity - all these factors affect the vulnerability of child diseases. However, suffering illness, the immune system is strengthened and becomes stronger.

Usually the disease is caught of children in kindergartens. It colds, runny nose, cough and other. But by the time when school children are stabiliziruemost, the body's defenses work more responsibly. But the cold often visits not only children but also adults. It is one of the most common diseases.

Rhinitis how little this word

Under the simple word “cold” implies the inflammation of the nasal mucosa. This disease is called rhinitis. Rhinitis can arise in such circumstances as:

• the penetration of microbes and viruses;
• hypothermia of the body;
• fumes in air;
• content in the air of large amounts of dust;
• the presence of other diseases (influenza, acute respiratory infections and other).

Rhinitis are different: acute, vasomotor, chronic. In acute rhinitis there is a very frequent sneezing, malaise, lacrimation. Then there is the mucus greyish transparent color. Later added a clear sign of pus.

Nasal congestion is observed in the case of chronic rhinitis. There is a reduction of smell. The mucous membrane of the nose thickens. Mucous discharge from nose very thick. The main complaints patients have the dry nose and difficulty in Bismarckian. Also there is a reduction of smell the patient, there is discharge of purulent-mucous character, the crusts in the nasal passages.

Sometimes, a runny nose occurs for no apparent reason. It appears spontaneously, as the attack. This occurs most often in the morning after waking from sleep. Starts frequent sneezing, your nose is bleeding “water”, sometimes the tears flow. This syndrome is called vasomotor rhinitis.

The saline solution in the fight against the common cold

Is effective treatment of rhinitis with physiological saline, prepared at home or purchased at a pharmacy. Is called a saline water solution (0.9%) sodium chloride. It is used for prevention and removal of formed in the nose of mucus, bacteria and allergens.

In a production environment preparation of saline solution when cold is held in large quantities on the basis of distilled water with the addition ofsalts. Salt are introduced sequentially, and each is added after complete dissolution of the previous one. Latest in solution is injected glucose. The solution necessarily must be performed in a glass container for a number of reasons.

At home to make the solution very simple. Everything you need (household table salt and water) is always at hand. The composition of the solution, prepared at home, is only one Sol (in contrast to the production of cooking). However, it is necessary to very strictly adhere to the percentage. 1 liter of water is required to take 9 grams of salt to obtain a 0.9% saline solution. The salt concentration should be so for a number of reasons. The water should be distilled, it can be purchased at the pharmacy. You can make a solution and boiling warm water.

In warm water the salt is more soluble. Utensils for preparing the solution must be clean. To make saline you can and sea salt, and iodized. Strain necessary to fine suspended particles will not hurt the mucous membrane of the nose.

Lavage with saline at cold has a beneficial effect:

• is moisture of the mucous membranes;
• destroys germs and harmful bacteria;
• is liquefaction of mucus secretion;
• to reduce the swelling;
• microflora is restored.

Lavage with saline nose baby with a cold is using a bottle pipette, a simple pipette, bottle with nozzle. Using a sprayer to make rinsing baby easier and more convenient. Is 1 to 2 sprays in each nostril, or dug from a pipette, two drops every half hour or hour. Rinsing in this way is necessary to make not less than once in two hours. Otherwise, the effect will be minimal.

The use of nebulizer with a cold

Along with physiological solutions is very positive is the treatment of rhinitis nebulizer. This is a special device for inhalation. The principle of its action consists in that that the device atomizes the medication in very small doses.

High dispersion of the solution when using a nebulizer, enables a gradual, unobtrusive penetration of the medication into the nasal cavity.

Impact more soft, but at the same time very effective. Nose baby in the process of inhalation is immersed as if in a cloud, a fog of drugs. This procedure is pleasant, does not cause discomfort. Child procedures inhalation inmainly well tolerated.

Nebulizers are used to treat different respiratory diseases, asthma and others. Inhalation is harmless and accessible method. You can use it in the clinic, hospital, any hospital. A special category is patients with asthma, for which inhalation is the ambulance, relieving seizures or alerting them in a timely manner.

By inhalation using a nebulizer is the spraying of the medication which is then inhaled through a straw or a special mask gets into the respiratory tract. With the use of this device the medication is absorbed much better and faster.

Nebulizers currently very common. Over time they have become more modified functions, adaptations, ways of spraying. Improved appliances in modern medicine is equipped with ultrasonic nebulizers.

Methods of treatment of the common cold

A cold child, as well as rhinitis and the first sign of a cold you need to help the baby. The simplest thing you can do quickly, – to prepare physiological solution. Despite the fact that the cold seems harmless disease, it can not run. The use of the solution will have positive effects and prevent possible negative consequences. Acquired in the pharmacy solutions enrich the child's body with the necessary salts.

You can if you common cold treatment using inhalations. The choice is always on the side of the parents of the sick baby. Importantly, the concentration of saline solution was correct. Increasing the salt content is unacceptable. High concentration can negatively affect the condition of the already inflamed mucous membrane of the nose.

There is a perception that the passes for the week, regardless of treated or not. The cycle of treatment of rhinitis ranges from a week to 10 days. If the disease is “grab” on time and immediately start treatment, when a strong immune system rhinitis leaves the patient in three days. If the immune system is functioning poorly, even with treatment the disease can take several weeks. If the treatment does not hold, there is the danger of complications. The disease may become chronic.

Protect patient from hypothermia in the cold. Eliminate the appearance of drafts. The air in the room where the sick child should be moisturized as often as possible to carry out wet cleaning. If temperatures are high, the baby gradually need to drink warm boiled water. If he has a poor appetite, feed him forcibly should not be. The most important thing for rhinitis – time to remove the mucus accumulated in the nose. For the child to feelsecurity, get him more hands, talk calm gentle voice.
