Many people have faced sinusitis at least once in their lives. Pathology often arises as a complication after a flu or cold. The disease is difficult to treat, so it is important to choose an effective remedy that can eliminate the pathological process in the maxillary sinuses at the initial stage. Such an effective drug is Dioxidin.
What is Dioxidin: composition and release forms
The drug Dioxidin is available in two dosage forms:
- solution;
- ointment.
The main active ingredient of the agent is hydroxymethylquinoxaline dioxide. An additional component of the solution is water for infusion. The ointment is used to treat severe burns and other violations of the integrity of the skin. In addition to the main substance, it contains:
- nipagin;
- polyethylene oxide;
- paraoxybenzoic acid.
For the treatment of sinusitis, a solution is used, since the ointment in this case will be ineffective and inconvenient to use.
The solution affects the pathogenic microflora, after the first application, the patient's condition improves. Dioxidine has a pronounced antibacterial effect, which determines its effectiveness.
With sinusitis, an inflammatory process occurs in the maxillary sinuses, which is often caused by bacteria. In this case, symptoms occur in the form of headache, purulent nasal discharge and swelling. Once in the cavity, the solution destroys the pathogen and allows you to quickly eliminate unpleasant manifestations. The main substance is a derivative of quinoxaline, which has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.
Side effects and contraindications of Dioxidine
When using the solution, the following side effects may occur:
- headache;
- fever;
- chills;
- slight fever;
- epigastric pain;
- convulsions;
- nausea;
- digestive disorders;
- allergy;
- hypersensitivity to ultraviolet light.
Dioxidine is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women, since it has the ability to be absorbed into the bloodstream and negatively affects the development of the fetus, and is also excreted in breast milk. In addition, it is not recommended to carry out drug treatment for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Additional contraindications for admission:
- insufficient functioning of the adrenal glands;
- individual intolerance to quinoxaline derivatives;
- kidney disease.
How to use the solution correctly: rinsing the nose, inhalation
Dioxidine is used for inhalation or as a sinus rinse. In this case, the medicine can be diluted with water for infusion or with saline. The proportions depend on the concentration of the substance: 1% solution must be diluted 1: 2, and 2% - 1: 4.
For rinsing, take a pipette or a small enema. It is necessary to instill or slowly pour the resulting solution into each nasal passage at least 50 ml. In this case, you need to tilt your head to one side. Pouring the solution into one nostril, release it through the other and vice versa. This should be done once a day. Preferably before bedtime.
For inhalation, you also need to prepare the medicine in the required proportion. It is better to use the drug at a concentration of 1%.
Next, you should dilute Dioxidin with saline 1: 3 and carry out the procedure for 3 minutes 2 times a day for 3 days. It is most convenient to use a nebulizer, but a regular inhaler will work as well.

A year and a half ago, I learned all the delights of sinusitis. At the same time, nothing hurt me, my nose just did not breathe on one side at all and I could smell burnt plastic. The X-ray was disappointing - right-sided catarrhal (no levels) sinusitis.
The doctor was surprised by the fact that he appeared only on the right. this often happens due to dental problems, but it turned out not to be about me.
Then the ENT prescribed treatment for me. Inside - the antibiotic Amoxiclav, Sinupret. Into the nose of turundas with adrinalin, syntomycin and instillation of dioxidine.
About the tool itself.
Dioxidine (solution in ampoules).
It is a broad spectrum antibiotic.
Indications
Purulent bacterial infections caused by sensitive microflora with the ineffectiveness of other chemotherapeutic agents or their poor tolerance.
There are serious contraindications
Contraindications
Adrenal insufficiency (including history);
Pregnancy;
Lactation period;
Childhood;
Hypersensitivity to dioxidine.
WITH caution- renal failure.
The price of 1 ampoule is 50 rubles.
The opened ampoule is stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day. ... I was assigned a course for 7 days. In total, the course of treatment with Dioxidin cost me 350 rubles.
Of course, Amoxiclav played the main role in the treatment. The effect of Sinupret is questionable for me.
How instillations were prescribed:
1) A cotton wool soaked in adrenaline (phenylephrine) was put into the nose for 10 minutes. The nose began to breathe instantly. Then take out and sniff.
2) Putting a cotton wool soaked in Syntomycin into the nose for 30 minutes and lie on the side opposite to sinusitis. Take out, sniff. Synthomycin miraculously pulled all the greens out of the bosom.
3) Add 5 drops of Dioxidine with a pipette.
How to drip ANY DROPS correctly.
1) Lie on the edge of the bed (sofa, couch) with your head hanging slightly.
2) Drop drops into one nostril
3) Lie exactly on the side where the drops were dripped.
4) Do the same with the second nostril.
Thus, the droplets will accurately fall through the anastomosis into the sinus, and not flow down the nasopharynx.
Treatment result.
The sinusitis has passed, the picture was good. The consequence of the treatment - Dioxidin dried my mucous membrane, I had to drip peach oil. But, after some time, the sinusitis recurred. Then again and again. In my case, the reasons were found that I eliminated promptly. I did septoplasty (fixed the septum) and laser vasotomy (cauterized enlarged shells).
Rumors about Dioxidine. I read and heard that it is very toxic, supposedly accumulates in the body and is no longer excreted from there. I do not know if this is true or not, but I heard that it is often prescribed to children. I wouldn't drip for my daughter. It’s not so scary for myself, but very much even for the child. If you need an antiseptic, drip Miramistin into the nose.
What else have I used for my many sinusitis:
1) Homeopathic tablets for the treatment of acute and chronic rhinitis Cinnabsin
2) An excellent remedy that quickly relieves inflammation in the sinuses GeloMyrtol
3) Otrivin spray always helped me to quickly relieve nasal congestion
4) Spery Polydex for the treatment of sinusitis 3 in 1 (antibiotic + vasoconstrictor + antiallergic)
Content
The drug, which demonstrates high efficiency in the treatment of angina and sinusitis, is valuable for patients. Every doctor knows that dioxidine is a powerful antibiotic that can deal with many types of dangerous microbes and bacteria. Due to its broad spectrum of action, the substance is considered universal. Dioxidine in the nose is prescribed for a wide variety of ENT diseases. Intense pharmacological effects require extreme caution when used. If the doctor prescribes this drug, you should find out what it is for, what are the forms of Dioxidine release.
Instructions for the use of Dioxidine in ampoules
This remedy is usually prescribed in a stationary setting, since it is dangerous for the mucous membranes. If it is necessary to instill Dioxidin in an adult's nose, the dosage should be agreed with the attending physician. In the absence of contraindications, three-time use is allowed. Before each instillation, you need to cleanse the nose of accumulated mucus so that the effect of the drug does not dissipate. The maximum single dose is 3 drops of a solution of 0.5% concentration.
According to the official instructions, this antibiotic is contraindicated in childhood, however, in some cases, doctors make exceptions. In pediatrics, this remedy can be used if there are chronic purulent processes. First of all, doctors prescribe sparing medicines. If they do not have the desired effect, you have to use a baby solution with a concentration of no more than 0.3%. It is used twice a day, a couple of drops in each sinus.
How to dilute for the nose
Before you start treatment, learn how to dilute dioxidine to wash your nose. Learn to maintain the correct concentration and no complications will arise. For an adult, a drug with a concentration of 0.5% is practically harmless. One percent dioxidine will have to be mixed with water in equal proportions. If you have to treat a child, dilute the 0.5% antibiotic with water in a 2: 1 ratio. To prepare a solution from a medicine with a concentration of 1% per 1 part of the medicine, use 3-4 parts of water.
How to drip into the nose
The procedure for instilling dioxidine into the nose is no different from the intracavitary application of the usual remedies for the common cold or sinusitis. To maximize the effectiveness of the drug, follow a simple sequence of steps:
- clear the nostrils of mucus and dried crusts;
- tilt your head back;
- with a pipette, drip three drops (for a child - 2 drops) into each nostril;
- within 10-15 seconds, the drug will spread throughout the nasopharynx, and this is the end of the procedure.
Nebulizer inhalation
Dioxidine inhalation for children and adults demonstrates tremendous effectiveness. Such procedures are prescribed for therapeutic purposes to combat purulent nasopharyngeal diseases. To properly prepare a solution for inhalation, you need to monitor the proportion of the drug. If you are prescribed dioxidine for sinusitis or sore throat, use a 0.25% solution. To do this, mix one part of a 0.5% medicine with two parts of water. Dioxidine with a concentration of 1% is diluted in twice the volume of the liquid. For one inhalation, no more than 4 ml of solution is used.
When it comes to treating a child, in the process of preparing a solution for inhalation, use one and a half times more water (3: 1 for a medicine with a concentration of 0.5% and 6: 1 for a medicine with a concentration of 1%). The maximum volume of solution for one inhalation procedure is 3 ml. Calculate concentration with utmost care, otherwise mucous membranes may be damaged.
How to rinse your nose
Such procedures are not prescribed for women during pregnancy and children under 16 years of age. Rinsing the nose with dioxidine is an extreme measure used by doctors to avoid puncture and direct puncture of the maxillary sinus. Such procedures are carried out in a stationary environment under the supervision of the attending physician. For rinsing the nose with dioxidine, a weak solution with the addition of furacilin is used. The antibiotic ensures complete disinfection of the sinuses. It effectively fights against the most resistant strains of bacteria that are immune even to the effects of the most powerful modern drugs.
How to store an open ampoule
If you have purchased a large ampoule, the contents of which will last for several days, make sure that the medicine is reliably protected from the environment. To do this, you can do the following:
- after use, tightly seal the ampoule with adhesive plaster in several layers;
- store the drug in a container from conventional nasal drops;
- pour the medicine into a jar with a rubber lid.
- draw the antibiotic into a large syringe, and each time measure the required amount through the needle.
Any of the options listed above will help you keep the drug for several weeks or even months. The main thing to keep in mind is that dioxidine is incredibly toxic, so store it in a place where children cannot reach it. For better preservation, it is recommended to keep the container with the remnants of the drug in a shaded cool place.
Doctor Komarovsky about Dioxidine in the nose for children
The respected Russian doctor speaks of the intracavitary use of the drug for children as follows: under the age of 16, it is highly discouraged to use this antibiotic unless absolutely necessary. According to the official instructions, the medicine is contraindicated. However, in extreme cases, when other means do not help to cope with purulent complications, the doctor can prescribe this antibiotic and use it under strict supervision in a stationary mode.
Someone was lucky, the disease bypassed him and a person learns about its symptoms from friends or from popular science literature. And someone is familiar with this misfortune firsthand. Headache, runny nose, purulent discharge from the nose, high temperature - and these are only the main symptoms of the disease.
Not everyone knows that with sinusitis, as well as sinusitis, a drug called Dioxidin helps well. What is this drug, when it can be contraindicated, and how to use it to treat sinusitis, we will consider in this article.
Dioxidine is not an antibiotic, but rather an antibacterial drug, which successfully fights against pathogenic anaerobes, salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococci, as well as strains of bacteria that are resistant to various antibiotics. As you can see, the spectrum of action of the drug is quite wide.
The action of Dioxidine is based on the ability to inhibit the multiplication of cells of pathogenic bacteria, prevent them from forming, destroying their membranes, thereby disrupting the structure of the cell. Until now, scientists have not been able to explain how the drug successfully defeats pathogens that develop without the participation of oxygen.
Dioxidine has the following forms of release:
- clear 1% and 0.5% solution in dark vials;
- ampoules 10 mg / ml;
- ointment 5% in tubes.
Indications for use

Doctors use Dioxidin in the following cases:
- directly injected into the affected area for the treatment of peritonitis, cystitis, mastitis, soft tissue abscess, pneumonia and other infectious diseases of the abdominal cavity, urinary and biliary system, chest;
- injected intravenously for the prevention of sepsis, meningitis and rapidly spreading purulent infection;
- apply the ointment externally for ulcers, burns, treatment of purulent wounds.
Dioxidine is often used in a hospital setting for washing the sinuses with sinusitis before and after surgery.

Dioxidin for sinusitis: instructions for use
Dioxidine must be used only on the recommendation of the attending physician... Only he can prescribe the required dose, frequency and duration of use.
First of all, you need to determine how the patient tolerates the drug and whether he will have an allergic reaction. To do this, 10 ml of 1% of the drug must be injected into the maxillary sinus. Then observe the patient for six hours. Chills, dizziness, discomfort in the intestines, itching will immediately signal that this remedy is not suitable for you.
Burying
The drug can be instilled into the nose both in pure form and as part of complex drops. With sinusitis, the following dosage is permissible: an adult is instilled Dioxidin into the nose 1-2 drops in each nostril. You can do it from 3 to 5 times a day... Duration of treatment - 1-2 weeks.
Important! An open ampoule of the drug can only be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day.
Make up complex drops as follows:
- Naphthyzin, Dioxidin,;
- Naphthyzin, Dioxidin,;
- Naphthyzin, Dioxidin, Dexamethasone.
In this case, each nasal passage is buried 1-2 drops, but the duration of admission is from 5 days to 1 week.
Laying ointment
If other antibacterial drugs do not work, an ointment can be used.
How to use Dioxidin ointment for sinusitis:
- thoroughly clean the nasal passages;
- make from a cotton swab or gauze;
- with its help, lay the ointment in the nasal passages;
- massage your nose a little so that the ointment is evenly distributed inside.
The product can be used within 1-3 weeks. This should not be done for longer, as the sensitivity to the drug may decrease and addiction may occur.
Inhalation
Rarely, only in severe cases of sinusitis or sinusitis, Dioxidin is used as inhalation. Despite the fact that nothing is written about inhalations in the instructions for use, doctors sometimes prescribe them to disinfect the nasal cavity. For these purposes, an individual nebulizer or steam inhaler is used. The procedure can be carried out no more than twice a day.
Features of inhalation:
- Before the procedure, the nose must be well rinsed with a furacilin solution.
- To make a solution for inhalation follows from the calculation: if Dioxidin 0,5% then on 1 ml funds account for 2 ml saline if 1% - 4 ml.
- The solution temperature should be 20 degrees... It cannot be overheated or overcooled ready-made.
- For one procedure you need to prepare 3-4 ml of the drug.
- Duration of inhalation no more than 3 minutes.
- The prepared solution can be stored in a refrigerator. no more than 12 hours.
Purulent diseases caused by bacteria are treated with Dioxidin, an antibacterial, bactericidal drug. It copes well with staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and certain strains of bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics. Purulent processes in the sinuses, at times, require just such a treatment.
Dioxidine for rinsing the nose
Dioxidine is quite common in the treatment of sinusitis in adults and children. Rinsing the nose helps to get rid of mucus in the maxillary sinuses, because when it stagnates, inflammation occurs, and the mucus turns into pus. Through washing, we liquefy this pathogenic substance and facilitate its removal from the cavities. It is logical that for washing, you need to use Dioxidin in the form of a solution into the nose, it can be poured through a syringe without a needle or a syringe.
First, you need to prepare the solution. The question arises of how to dilute Dioxidine for rinsing the nose, and what the dosage should be. ENT doctors usually prescribe rinsing with a ready-made solution for intracavitary use. But if you are sensitive to the drug, you can dilute the ampoule to the prescribed consistency with water or sodium chloride solution.
Before starting the procedure, you need to thoroughly clear your nose, try to remove the congestion. If you cannot achieve this by simply blowing your nose, you can use some kind of vasoconstrictor drug, for example:
- Tizine;
- Naphthyzin;
- Rinazoline.
And after a 5-minute break, we proceed directly to rinsing:
So, the process of rinsing the nose with Dioxidin is preceded by the introduction of vasoconstrictor drops and rinsing with saline. If all these recommendations are followed, a good result can be expected, since the drug copes with even the most resistant strains of bacteria and treats purulent inflammatory diseases of various etymologies.
Dioxidin drops in the nose
If the case is not very advanced, you can not rinse, but drip Dioxidin into the nose. For adults, the dosage is 1%. You need to bury 2-3 drops in each nostril. Before that, of course, it is necessary to clear the nose of mucus and crusts, and only then tilt the head back and inject the drug with a pipette. You need to repeat the procedure 2-3 times a day.
The opened ampoule of Dioxidine should be stored in the refrigerator with a cotton swab in the neck. Before instillation, the contents must be warmed to room temperature. After 24 hours, it is necessary 
open a new ampoule.
Dioxidin can be instilled into the nose for no longer than 5 days. As a rule, the symptoms of an uncomplicated bacterial rhinitis disappear after four days.
The use of this drug brings a rather tangible positive result. However, you need to be careful and pay attention to your feelings. The consequences and side effects have not been studied in detail, and the dosages and duration of the course are calculated empirically. The final decision on the use of the drug remains with the patient.

Reviews
Arina, 27 years old: When the doctor prescribed dioxidin to my 12-year-old Misha, I was surprised, because the antibiotic is toxic, and it is prescribed from the age of 16. Two weeks were treated with the usual means, but they did not help. I talked with other specialists if dioxidine was dripped into the nose. It turned out that in extreme cases this is permissible. We tried the remedy, and after 4 days Misha recovered.
Valentina, 34 years old: Doctors diagnosed sinusitis. I was worried, but the doctor reassured me that if I correctly apply complex dioxidine nasal drops, everything will work out. And so it happened. Within 5 days, the sinuses were instilled with a solution of 0.5%. Re-examination showed significant improvement. The antibiotic was canceled. The course of treatment ends. I feel much better.
Victor, 38 years old: When angina appeared, I did not go to the doctors. Complications began two weeks later. In the hospital, they found otitis media and prescribed dioxidine treatment in the nose. For three days, a solution with a concentration of 0.5% was instilled. The condition has improved. After the washing procedures, all the symptoms disappeared like a hand. I heard about this antibiotic that it is toxic and dangerous, but this time it saved me.
Irina, 33 years old: I treated my daughter's sore throat with the usual drugs, but her condition did not improve. A week and a half later, the hospital was diagnosed with sinusitis. Prescribed dioxidine form of release 0.5% - ampoules. I wanted to give up the toxic antibiotic, but there was no choice. I had to bury it 2 times a day. I must say it helped. The daughter quickly recovered.

"Dioxidin" in the nose - the best remedy for a cold
A running cold can easily develop into sinusitis. 
And it is unnecessary to remind impressionable readers of the consequences of the development of this terrible disease: at least once in their life, everyone has heard a terrible story about a disease that can be eliminated only by going through unpleasant procedures for pumping out liquid. One of the most effective means that can prevent the terrible development of the process is the drug "Dioxidin" (in the nose).
What is this drug?
"Dioxidin" is an antibacterial agent that has a negative effect on the activity of many pathogens. The range of its application is wide enough. It is used for such serious diseases as purulent inflammation of the pleura, phlegmon and abscesses. Depending on the situation, the medicine can be used both intravenously and externally. This is not a complete list of useful qualities of the drug "Dioxidin". You can drip it into your nose without fear. It does not destroy the lining of the nose like many other modern medicines for the common cold. "Dioxidin" dripping into the nose is especially effective when it comes to a predisposition to sinusitis. The drug has anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect. "Dioxidin" is injected into the nose, even when it comes to the development of a more serious infection.
When is the solution prescribed?
When antibiotics are not so effective, the drug "Dioxidin" is prescribed - nasal drops. Instructions for use in difficult cases should be accompanied by comments from the attending physician in order to speed up the recovery period.
In what form does the medicine exist?
The drug is available in the form of a 1% or 0.5% solution in 10 ml ampoules. There are no special forms for the introduction of the drug "Dioxidin" into the nose, so the ampoule is simply opened and used for the introduction of an ordinary pipette.
Drug use
The patient should clear the sinuses of the excess mucus and crusts and tilt the head back, and then use a pipette to inject the solution into both nostrils. Doctors recommend dripping 2-3 drops of liquid into each nasal opening for adults and 1-2 drops for children. Instillation should be repeated three times a day. Treatment should not be continued longer than 3-5 days (maximum one week). A solution of 0.5% is not diluted with water, and a more saturated solution (1%) can be diluted with saline. If in closed ampoules during storage formed 
crystals, they can be diluted in a water bath. Use "Dioxidin" in the nose for children and pregnant women should be extremely careful. For the smallest patients, a large number of less dangerous nasal drops have been developed, therefore, it is recommended to use these drops for a child only with a doctor's prescription, although there are no officially registered cases of side effects when using them.
Storage of the drug
Even if you did not manage to use up a whole ampoule in a day, you should not leave it for the next day. Only as a last resort, you can plug the neck with a cotton swab and place the solution in the refrigerator, and warm the liquid a little before use.

Recipes and methods of using complex nose drops for children
With a runny nose that lasts for several weeks, as well as with sinusitis and sinusitis, the ENT may advise complex nasal drops for children, the recipe for which must be adjusted according to age.
Please note that making such a remedy at home using recipes found on the Internet is a very dangerous thing. The composition includes far from harmless solutions that can aggravate the child's condition.
Why are complex drops for rhinitis prescribed?
Some otolaryngologists are of the opinion that the complex composition drops for the fight against the common cold are more effective. Their composition is selected individually to the patient's condition and complaints. In pharmacies you can find drugs with a combined composition: Vibrocil, Polydexa, Nasonex and Nasobek. Complex drops are undeservedly forgotten, because prescription drugs are cheaper, especially since they include components that affect the infection found in the patient.
Complex nasal drops are prepared exclusively in pharmacies with a prescription department. It is not difficult to find such a pharmacy in a big city, but in small towns it is problematic. Either you have to go to a neighboring city for drops, or you need to do them yourself, observing sterility and proportions.
It is hoped that the qualifications and experience of the doctor allow him to correctly select the composition and dosage of drugs intended for complex drops. After all, he takes responsibility in case of unsuccessful treatment, deterioration of the patient's condition or the development of complications. Often, such drops help those who have already tried everything, but have not been cured. Sometimes only the second or third composition of the prescription drops helps.
When are complex drops prescribed?
- With prolonged rhinitis, as well as nasopharyngitis.
- In the absence of the effectiveness of other single-component and combined remedies for the common cold.
- With individual intolerance to some components of the combined preparations.
- In case of a severe form of the disease.
Depending on what type of rhinitis torments the patient: viral, bacterial or allergic, the doctor selects the composition of the drops. In order to identify the pathogen, you need to pass the tests recommended by the doctor. After receiving the results, the doctor will draw up a prescription for the manufacture of a remedy for a cold, and in the appointment he will note the dosage, the frequency of instillation and the period of use. A decrease in the frequency of instillation can delay recovery, but an increase is dangerous to health.
What products are used in complex nasal drops?
Combined drops for the common cold include drugs from pharmaceutical groups such as:
- Vasoconstrictor drugs that relieve swelling from the mucous membrane of the nasal passages. Thanks to them, nasal breathing is facilitated. Pharmacy drops may contain methasone or adrenaline. At home, these drugs can be replaced with naphthyzine, especially when the drug is intended for the treatment of a child. Vasoconstrictor drugs cannot be used longer than 5-7 days, because atrophy of the nasal mucosa develops.
- Antihistamines that relieve the allergic factor. This component is relevant for allergic rhinitis. Usually a solution of diphenhydramine or suprastin is used.
- Bactericidal components (including antibiotics) designed to disinfect the nasal mucosa and stop the growth of pathogenic bacteria. An example is Gentamicin, Lincomycin, Cefazolin and others. These medicines are intended for the treatment of the common cold, which is only of a bacterial nature. Furacilin solution may be used as an antiseptic. If the patient has a predisposition to sinusitis or other severe problems associated with difficulty in nasal breathing, Dioxidin is included in the prescription, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and decongestant effects. However, the use of Dioxidin in children is not permitted according to the instructions for the drug.
- Glucocorticosteroids are hormonal drugs that have anti-inflammatory, decongestant and antihistamine effects. The most commonly used drugs are Dexamethasone and Hydrocortisone. Please note that long-term use of these hormonal agents inhibits adrenal function. For a child over 6 years old, Nazobek can be recommended, and from 2 years old, Nazonex is allowed.
The approximate composition of the drops may look like this:
- Galazolin 0.1% 5 ml, dexamethasone 0.1% 2 ml, dioxidine 1% 5 ml.
- Mezaton 1% 1 ml, dioxidine 1% 10 ml, aloe juice 1 ml, hydrocortisone 2.5% 2 ml.
- Pharmazoline 0.05% 5 ml, dioxidine 0.5% 5 ml, hydrocortisone 2.5% 2 ml.

For children, as vasoconstrictor drops, you need to take a drug that is suitable for age. If the patient has already unsuccessfully used Galazolin for a long time, the doctor may include Nazivin in the prescription, instead of dioxidine, Miramistin.
Sometimes otolaryngologists inject extracts of medicinal plants into complex nose drops: aloe juice, eucalyptus oil, pine oil, menthol and others. This is permissible provided that the patient has confirmed that he is not allergic to these components.
Advantages of complex drops from the common cold:
- The remedy is adapted for a specific patient and takes into account the neglect of the case, the form of his rhinitis and sensitivity to drugs.
- Relatively low cost of the manufactured drug.
- The use of components to which the patient is not allergic, which will reduce the likelihood of a negative effect.
Disadvantages of prescription drops in the treatment of the common cold:
- These funds have not undergone clinical trials, so the doctor cannot know for sure about all possible side effects and contraindications, as well as the degree of their safety for children and adults.
- Labor intensity of manufacture and inaccessibility in small towns.
- When making a home, there is a risk of overdose due to mistakes and inaccuracy.
- Some components have a systemic effect on the entire body.
- The individual components are not intended to be inserted into the nose.
- The possibility of the development of negative processes in the mucous membrane of the nasal sinuses is a change in pH, the state and functioning of cells.
Negative consequences of taking complex drops:
- High blood pressure.
- Cardiopalmus.
- Disturbances in the work of the heart.
- Overdrying of the nasal mucosa.
- Reducing the ability of the nasal mucosa to fight allergens and pathogenic bacteria.
- The appearance of nosebleeds.
- The transition of an acute rhinitis into a chronic one.
- Deterioration of patients' condition due to glaucoma.
It is worth mentioning that the listed symptoms may not be present in your case, but it is better to be warned than to face something incomprehensible. If you have any side effects from using complex drops, you should stop taking them immediately and contact your doctor.
Application procedure
- Before instilling complex drops, the nose must be cleared of mucus (blow your nose well, rinse with saline). A small child can drip drops of Aquamaris or saline, and then suck the mucus with a nasal aspirator.
- Prescription medicine is instilled 1-2 drops in turn into each nostril. If the child resists, you can drip the product onto a cotton swab and insert it for a couple of minutes, first into one nostril, and then into the other.
- After putting on the breath, a drop of vegetable oil is dripped into the right and left nasal passages.
Pay attention to the shelf life of complex drops, usually it does not exceed 1 month.
If the pharmacy bottle does not have a dropper and you use a dropper, you can store the drops for 12-14 days.
Complicated drops for the treatment of a lingering rhinitis are an effective, but serious drug that requires attention from the attending physician. The patient should carefully observe the dosage and frequency of administration and pay attention to the slightest deterioration in his condition. Treatment with complex drops of children does not always justify the possible risk of complications.
