Children's surprise or treatment of adenoids with inhalations. The most effective inhalations for adenoids Does an inhaler help with adenoids

In order for inhalation for adenoids in children to be successful, it is necessary to take into account the existing rules:

• it is important that the child is in a sitting position during the procedure;
• You should explain to the child that he inhales and exhales air slowly, using a special mouthpiece;
• The duration of the procedure is on average 10-15 minutes. If there is a need, the doctor will extend it or vice versa;
• You should not use essential oils because they can clog the inhaler;
• do not go outside immediately after the procedure.

How does inhalation work?

The procedure has a symptomatic effect. It prevents the progression of the disease, thereby helping to improve the child’s condition. It is carried out not only during a calm course of the disease, but also during exacerbations.

Experts distinguish four stages of the disease. Many people are interested in whether it is possible to do inhalations for adenoids if the disease has been advanced. Most effective procedure will be in the first or second stage. During this period, adenoids can be treated conservatively. If the disease has reached the third or fourth stage, surgical intervention is inevitable. Therefore, at the first symptoms you should consult a doctor.

At the initial stages of inhalation they have the following effects:

• reduce swelling of the tonsils;
• help improve blood microcirculation and lymph outflow;
• strengthen protective function immune system;
• prevent the development of inflammation.

Types of inhalations

the main task therapeutic inhalations- reduction in the size of the adenoids. Today there are three main types of procedure:

1. Steam inhalation for adenoids. Modern medicine does not recommend this for children this procedure. An unpleasant consequence After the procedure, there may be a burn to the baby’s thin mucous membrane. Also, high temperature provokes vasodilation and increases swelling;
2. Dry inhalations for adenoids. To carry out the procedure you will need essential oil. You can use fir, sea buckthorn, cypress, eucalyptus or mint. To make breathing easier, place 3-5 drops of oil on a dry handkerchief and let the baby breathe. To prevent enlarged adenoids from interfering with the child’s sleep at night, a handkerchief soaked in a small amount essential oil, can be left next to the pillow in his crib;
3. Salt inhalations for adenoids. For the procedure, exclusively sea salt is used, since it contains a large amount of minerals and iodine. 1 kg of salt should be heated well in a dry frying pan, you can use another container. After that, add 3-5 drops of essential oil (eucalyptus, fir or mint). Next warm sea ​​salt you need to pour it into a bowl or cup and give it to the child so that he can breathe in the vapors. You should explain to the baby that breaths should be deep.

Using a nebulizer for adenoids

According to pediatricians, the most effective and completely safe for children are nebulizer inhalations for adenoids. This method has a number of undeniable advantages:

• no risk. Unlike steam inhalations, a nebulizer prevents the risk of burning the mucous membrane. Also, its design is quite simple and understandable, so there will be no difficulties with the procedure;
• high efficiency. The inhaler dissolves medicinal substances into fine dust and facilitates the entry of a large amount of useful substances into the body. This speeds up the healing process;
• the ability to use effective medications that are much more effective.

For the procedure to produce the desired effect, you should Special attention pay attention to preparation:

1. Carry out the procedure about an hour after eating;
2. Control the temperature. At elevated temperature it is advisable for the body to refuse inhalation;
3. Prepare medications. If they are stored in the refrigerator, the preparations should be taken out an hour before the procedure so that they warm up a little;
4. Choose loose clothing that will not interfere with the child's breathing.

What solutions are used for inhalation with a nebulizer for adenoids?

For inhalation of saline solution for adenoids, medications are used exclusively in liquid form. The saline solution acts as a solvent. It is important to ensure that it is sterile. It can also be replaced mineral water no bubbles.

Inhalations with cycloferon for adenoids. For the procedure, a drug in the form of a solution intended for injections is suitable. Dosage per procedure: 4 ml of saline solution and 1-2 ampoules of medication. The drugs should be mixed thoroughly and poured into the nebulizer. The procedure lasts about seven minutes. It is important that the child inhales slowly through the nose and exhales through the mouth. The general condition of the child will improve after 2-3 procedures.

Inhalations with fluimucil. The drug can be used for inhalation in children under one year of age. Helps reduce inflammation in the nasopharynx. Part medicinal product includes the mucolytic agent acetylcysteine.

To prepare a solution for inhalation, you should prepare the medicine. At the pharmacy, Fluimucil is sold in powder form, and water for injection is included in the kit. The powder mixed with water should be added to saline solution at a rate of 1.25 drugs per 1 ml of saline solution. Inhalation duration is 6-10 minutes.

Inhalations with miramistin for adenoids. Miramistin is an antiseptic drug and is widely used in modern medicine. It is non-toxic and therefore suitable for inhalation by children. The drug helps destroy bacteria and prevents them from spreading throughout the body.

Preparation of the solution: for children under 12 years of age, the dosage is 2 ml of saline solution and 1 ml of Miramistin. The duration of the procedure is on average 10 minutes. It must be done two/three times a day.

Inhalations with aminocaproic acid for adenoids. The drug is non-toxic and is quickly eliminated from the body. It helps relieve swelling and improve the patient's condition. Inhalation is carried out using a nebulizer. To do this, place a mixture of saline solution and ACC (1:1) in a special container of the inhaler. For a single inhalation, 2 ml of drugs is sufficient. One session lasts 5 minutes.

Inhalations with derinat for adenoids. Derinat is an immunomodulatory drug that strengthens the protective function of the immune system and allows the body to fight harmful bacteria. Helps restore mucous membranes, relieves swelling, and provides protection to healthy cells. According to patient reviews, the drug not only helps to destroy the infection, but also helps the child’s body resist other diseases.

Inhalations with this drug can be given even to infants. In a special container of the inhaler, dilute a couple of drops of the medicine with saline solution. The duration of the procedure is from 5 to 7 minutes. The course of treatment is determined by a specialist.

Pulmicort for inhalation for adenoids. The drug helps improve breathing and relieves swelling. To carry out the procedure, the medicine must be dissolved with saline. The duration of the first procedures is approximately 3-4 minutes. Later they can last up to 7 minutes. Inhalations can be carried out within a week.

Eucalyptus inhalation for adenoids. To carry out the procedure, you need 3 drops of essential oil. eucalyptus oil dissolve in 1 ml of saline solution. It is enough to carry out the procedure once a day. Eucalyptus will remove unpleasant symptoms, will relieve swelling and make breathing easier.

Interferon inhalation for adenoids. Interferon is an immunomodulatory drug. Strengthens the immune system and improves the general condition of the little patient. For 2 ml of saline solution take 1 ampoule of interferon. Standard course treatment lasts two weeks. Depending on the condition of the child and the stage of the adenoids, the attending physician may extend it.

If your baby suffers from a stuffy nose, runny nose, breathes through his mouth and snores in his sleep, there is every reason to assume that the problem is in the adenoids. In especially severe cases, doctors recommend surgery, however, on early stages diseases, it makes sense to try more soft method treatment - inhalation. Are they effective in combating this disease? Let's find out the opinions of doctors and listen to reviews from parents.

What are adenoids?

Adenoids are a proliferation (or vegetation) of the tissues of the nasopharyngeal tonsil, which, in turn, is a natural anatomical education, part of the human immune system. Experts call the pharyngeal tonsil the first line of defense against viruses and bacteria trying to penetrate into children's body along with the inhaled air.

In addition to the nasopharyngeal, humans have other types of tonsils: palatine and tubal. Together they create a pharyngeal ring - a kind of “cleansing” system. Here, special protective cells are produced - lymphocytes - designed to neutralize infectious agents.

Pharyngeal tonsils react acutely to any cold or viral disease. During the period of “work” they increase in size, returning to normal after full recovery. If the diseases recur too often, the growths simply do not have time to decrease. In this case, doctors talk about adenoiditis - constant inflammation of the adenoids.

Overgrowth of pharyngeal tonsils is a common disease in children 3–7 years old.

In especially severe cases, the tonsils grow so large that they sometimes block the nasopharynx. This is fraught with serious consequences:

• difficulty breathing;
• frequent otitis media, as a result - hearing impairment;
• sinusitis;
• chronic runny nose;
• bronchitis and pneumonia.

Expert opinions on the treatment of adenoids

To avoid serious complications and help the child breathe full breasts, the doctor prescribes necessary procedures, focusing on the causes of the disease, the severity of the disease and associated disorders.

In medicine, there are two main ways to combat adenoids: conservative and surgical. Only the attending physician can decide how to treat this disease: with the help surgical intervention or a more gentle method.

So, otolaryngologist Victoria Eduardovna Kokorina suggests first removing the inflammation, and if this does not help and the baby gets worse, perform surgery:

It is important not to self-medicate, but to consult a doctor. He will tell you how to treat yourself and relieve inflammation. For a number of adenoid hyperplasias, there are drugs that can reduce the size of the adenoids. Medicines (including in the form of inhalations) are prescribed for two weeks, after which the doctor checks to see if the child is feeling better. If the inflammation subsides, the course of treatment with the drug continues until three months. If there is no improvement, then the adenoids will need to be removed.

In addition, the doctor calls for finding the true cause of the proliferation of adenoids, since it is impossible to remove all adenoid tissue:

If the causative factor (allergy or bacterial infection) remains, then there is a high risk of adenoid relapse - inflammation returns in approximately 15–20% of cases.

Dr. Victoria Kokorina about adenoids (video)

But otorhinolaryngologist Alexander Sergeevich Puryasev is categorically against surgical intervention:

Removing adenoids is unnatural. A person does not have extra organs, and adenoids are not polyps, not a tumor, not a cyst, not a wart that need to be removed. Tonsils play a huge role in the formation of the immunity of a child under 12 years of age. After puberty, the body will get rid of this organ itself, because it will no longer be needed. Look for a non-surgical treatment method.

If the problem is no more than two years old, then in most cases we are talking about a chronic adenoiditis process that can be combated conservative methods, for example, with the help of general anti-inflammatory drugs. If the inflammatory process is prolonged and hearing problems arise, then the pathological formations must be removed immediately.

Dr. Evgeniy Olegovich Komarovsky is confident that there must be serious indications for the removal of adenoids:

The first and most important indication is “no nose,” that is, the child does not have nasal breathing. The baby does not get enough sleep, snores at night, and has pauses in breathing during sleep. In this case, it doesn’t matter how old he is or how he feels. It is definitely necessary to remove the adenoids. The second indication is frequent recurrent otitis due to overlap auditory tube. The last indication is deformation of the facial skeleton of the adenoid type.

Doctor Komarovsky about the treatment of adenoids (video)

So, in addition to surgery, there are other ways to treat adenoids: instillation of herbal decoctions, physiotherapy, medications and inhalations. We will dwell in more detail on the last method of getting rid of this disease.

What effect do inhalations have?

Inhalations for adenoids and adenoiditis - effective method, helping to improve the general condition of a sick child, reduce the symptoms of the disease, and reduce the rate of progression of inflammatory processes.

This method of treatment is prescribed by the doctor, having previously made a conclusion about the degree of proliferation of the nasopharyngeal tonsils. There are three in total:

• 1st degree - adenoids cover only 1/3 of the nasopharyngeal space. The baby usually does not experience breathing problems during the day, but at night it is much more difficult for him to breathe;
• Stage 2 - overgrown lymphoid tissue closes half of the passage through which the nose communicates with the pharynx. Children breathe through their mouths both day and night, snore in their sleep, and catch colds much more often;
• 3rd degree - the nasopharyngeal space is completely blocked. The symptoms of the disease are the same as in the previous stage, but more pronounced.

It makes sense to carry out inhalation procedures at stage 1 of the disease, in which case the growth of adenoids can still be restrained using a similar conservative method. The advantage of inhalations is that they:

1. Reduce swelling.
2. Prevents inflammation.
3. Improves blood and lymph flow.
4. Strengthens children's immunity.

Inhalations are effective only for grade 1 adenoids

For adenoiditis, inhalation measures are intended to relieve signs of inflammatory processes - cough, feeling of constant dry mouth, nasal congestion, mucus discharge back wall throats. Correct implementation of the procedure has the following effects:

• inflammation decreases;
• coughing attacks stop;
• moisturizes dry mucous membranes;
• pain and irritation are reduced;
• mucus thins;
• prevents complications such as pulmonary diseases(pharyngitis, tracheitis, laryngitis).

Carrying out inhalations at home

Classic steam inhalations with the growth of pharyngeal tonsils, doctors are categorically not approved. Do not breathe over hot potatoes, boiling water or herbal decoctions. The reason for the ban is that warm steam, moisturizing the mucous membrane, stimulates blood circulation in it. Thanks to this, the growth of adenoids only accelerates.

With this disease, doctors allow four types of inhalation measures.

Solutions for the treatment of adenoids with a nebulizer

The prescription of any drug to reduce inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx, including inhalation solutions for the nebulizer, is within the competence of the attending physician. Only he determines the order, schedule, duration of sessions and the list of medications.

There are a number of rules for the manufacture and use of solutions:

• use sterile saline or mineral water as a solvent, after removing the bubbles;
• do not use boiled or distilled water;
• the temperature of the product at the start of the procedure should be about 20°C;
• Do not use essential oils and herbal infusions containing large particles in the nebulizer.

When are inhalations contraindicated?

Inhalation procedures for adenoids also have general contraindications. For example, you should refrain from inhalation if your child has:

• hypersensitivity to drug components was detected;
• temperature exceeds 37.5 °C;
• there is a tendency to severe and prolonged nosebleeds.

In addition, at stages 2 and 3 of the disease and with regular adenoiditis, inhalations do not have a significant effect. In this case, you should choose more effective way treatment. However, you should not completely abandon the nebulizer; it will be useful for preventing relapses after surgery to remove adenoids.

Adenoids are an overgrowth of the unpaired tonsil, located on the back wall of the nasopharynx. This organ is part of the immune system and is part of the so-called pharyngeal ring of the tonsils, which protects the body from foreign particles entering through the mouth and nose. IN childhood There is a disorder associated with pathologically increased proliferation of cells of the pharyngeal tonsil, which leads to an increase in its size.

Inhalations for adenoids in children will help cope with this disease at an early stage of development. In this case, it is necessary to distinguish between the adenoids themselves (proliferation of the tonsil) and adenoiditis, which is the most common complication and consequence of this disorder.

Adenoiditis is an inflammation of the tissues of the pharyngeal tonsil. It can be of both bacterial and autoimmune nature, characterized by a number of pathological symptoms and causing the occurrence of other diseases respiratory system.

Action of inhalations

The effect that inhaled administration of drugs has on a pathologically enlarged tonsil is mainly symptomatic. Containing the progression of the disease improves the general condition of the child and reduces the severity of the manifestations of this disorder. This is achieved through the following effects of inhalation:

• improvement of lymphatic outflow and blood microcirculation;
• reducing the severity of edema on the mucous membrane of the tonsil;
• prevention of inflammatory lesions;
• strengthening and stimulation of local immune defense.

If an inflammatory process has already joined the proliferation of the tonsils, the disease is characterized as adenoiditis. Inhalations in this case are also used quite widely, but now their main task is to combat symptoms caused by inflammation:

• suppression of too frequent coughing attacks;
• moisturizing periodically dry mucous membranes;
• softening it, which relieves tissue irritation;
• decreased production of nasal mucus;
• liquefying and stimulating the removal of already formed mucous deposits;
• prevention of the transition of the inflammatory process to other parts of the respiratory system.

How and with what to carry out inhalations?

Steam inhalations are not used for adenoids. Heat drugs leads to local vasodilation, which increases swelling of the mucous membrane and stimulates further proliferation of tonsil tissue.

The optimal method of inhalation administration of drugs to children with adenoids is the use of nebulizers. Here are a few recipes that will help with adenoids in children:

Advantages of using nebulizers

1. The technique for performing this procedure is very simple, and even a child aged 2-3 years can master it.
2. The drug compound is delivered precisely to the site of action. According to the World Health Organization, with nebulizer inhalation, 98% of the drug reaches its intended destination.
3. The previous point also determines the economic benefits of using nebulizers. A significant reduction in losses of the active substance during its delivery allows the use of a smaller volume of the drug to obtain the same thing therapeutic effect. That is, a bottle of medicine will last for more than a long period treatment.
4. Nebulizers create an air suspension of the drug without the use of additional propellant substances.

Which nebulizer should I use?

The type of device (compressor, ultrasonic or membrane) is determined primarily by the drug that is planned to be inhaled. In the recipe descriptions given above, there are several indications that certain models are not applicable.

In addition, nebulizers also differ in the diameter of the drug particles created in the air suspension. This parameter is called dispersion. The higher the dispersion, the smaller the particle sizes medicinal substance and even more so they are able to penetrate into the deeper parts of the respiratory system.

The pharyngeal tonsil, the growth of which is called adenoids, is located at the very entrance to the Airways- on the back wall of the nasopharynx. Therefore, during inhalations aimed at treating this pathology, it is necessary that the active compounds settle in the upper parts of this system.

That is, it is preferable to use those models of nebulizers that form coarse aerosols. This feature is primarily characterized by devices that use compressor technology of pumping air under pressure to create an air suspension. But ultrasonic and membrane nebulizers should not be rejected outright either. Many modern models have the option of adjusting the diameter of the particles created. It is necessary to adjust it in such a way that the microdroplet size pharmacological drug in an aerosol was 10 microns or more.

Adenoids are an anatomical change in the nasopharyngeal tonsil. Therefore, inhalation effects in this disorder lead to positive result not always. Everything here is determined by the degree of progression of the disease:

• Stage 1: nasopharyngeal tonsil overlaps only the upper edge of the vomer - a bone plate, which is one of two parts that form the bony septum of the nasal passages;
• Stage 2: the tonsil covers more than 60% of the vomer height;
• Stage 3: the vomer is almost completely closed by the enlarged tonsil.

Inhalations help mainly in the first stage of pathology development.

Wherein chronic hypertrophy tonsils can be compensated by relieving swelling on the mucous membrane, preventing the inflammatory process and inhibiting further enlargement of this organ. But, unfortunately, in most cases these measures will only be effective for some time. If a child already has a tendency to develop adenoids, then the progression of the disease is quite difficult to avoid.

Nevertheless, correct treatment, including nebulizer inhalations, started at the earliest stage of the pathology, can significantly slow down its development. In this way, it is possible to gain time before the disease moves to stage 2 and/or stage 3. If a child reaches puberty during this period and successfully passes through it, then, thanks to serious hormonal changes in his body, there is a high chance that the symptoms of adenoids will subside on their own.

In the case when the pathology is already determined at stages 2-3, adenoids and adenoiditis begin to provoke the appearance of complications such as:

• inflammation of the middle ear;
• hearing impairment;
• violations physical development child;
• difficulty breathing;
• chronic inflammation of the lungs, bronchi, sinuses;
• persistent rhinitis; sleep disorders, etc.

At this stage, inhalation with a nebulizer is no longer effective, and the child’s treatment consists of: surgical removal adenoids.

Inhalation with a nebulizer: the advantages of this method of treatment, drugs that can be used in treating a child, rules for inhalation and contraindications.

Adenoids are a pathology in which the pharyngeal tonsil grows. Nebulizer for adenoids in children is one of the most effective means, which is used to improve general condition. The device has the ability to convert medications into an aerosol.

Benefits of nebulizer treatment for adenoids

1. There is no danger of burning the child. Parents can be firmly confident that the baby will not burn the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
2. High efficiency. If you use dry or steam inhalations, it will enter the body small part useful substances. Due to the fact that the nebulizer has the property of breaking down the medicine into small particles (ultimately a concentrated mixture is obtained), useful material in the preparation are preserved in full.
3. When using a nebulizer, you can use medications. For example, dry and steam inhalations involve the use of essential oils, the use of which does not always give the expected result. In case of medications the treatment will be much more effective.
4. The device can be used to treat infants - inhalation of adenoids in children with a nebulizer will not cause any harm.

Why are inhalations needed?

Basically, inhalations are prescribed to eliminate the symptoms of the inflammatory process. They are characterized by nasal congestion, cough, mucus running down the back of the throat, and a feeling of dryness in the mouth.

If the procedure is carried out correctly and regularly, you can achieve the following results:

• elimination of the inflammatory process;
• mucus thins;
• cough goes away completely;
• elimination of pain and irritation of the mucous membrane;
• moisturizing the nasal mucosa;

Also, when carrying out inhalations, it is possible to prevent complications that manifest themselves as pulmonary ailments - tracheitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis.

Nebulizers are divided into several types:

• compressor;
• ultrasonic;
• mixed.

What drugs can be used for inhalation?

Let's look at the most popular medications that can be used for inhalation with a nebulizer.

Miramistin. Is antiseptic, which is used in gynecology, dentistry and even surgery. Has the following effects:

1. Anti-inflammatory. Eliminates swelling inflammatory processes and kills bacteria.
2. Immunostimulating. Quite often in children, the adenoids become inflamed as a result of decreased immunity. Thanks to Miramistin, it can be restored.

It is advisable to use inhalations 3 times a day, first medicine need to be diluted with saline solution (1:2). It can be used to treat inflamed adenoids even in infants - the drug has no contraindications.

Important: if you decide to use a nebulizer for adenoids in children, solutions that will really help improve the child’s overall well-being should be prescribed by the attending physician.

Tonsilgon. The medicine contains marshmallow root, extract of walnut leaves, dandelion, horsetail, yarrow, etc. The drug has an anti-inflammatory effect and improves immunity. Before use, it is advisable to make sure that the child is not allergic to the components of the product. Before use, Tonsilgon must be diluted with saline solution, inhalations are done 2 times a day.

Products that have a moisturizing effect. They dilute mucus, making breathing easier and eliminating a runny nose in a child. The most popular are the following:

1. Mineral water "Borjomi". Effectively eliminates swelling of the mucous membrane and makes breathing easier.
2. Saline solution. As a rule, it is used to dilute drugs, but if desired, it can also be used in its pure form.

Both of the above remedies have no contraindications.

Carrying out inhalation: basic rules

In order not to harm the child, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Inhalations should be done no earlier than 20 minutes after eating. Otherwise, the baby may experience nausea and, in some cases, vomiting.
2. After the inhalation has been done, you should not eat, drink water or talk.
3. After the procedure, you should not breathe cold air - if it is cold outside, do not open the window; it is better to postpone your walk.
4. The child’s breathing after the procedure should be deep and even.
5. You should not use essential oils or herbal decoctions - this will contaminate the device. After the procedure, all parts of the nebulizer should be rinsed with running warm water.
6. Do not use boiled or filtered water for inhalation. In this case, it is better to purchase saline solution.

Before using the device, you should consult your doctor.

Many parents, in order to avoid surgery to remove the pharyngeal tonsil, are ready to try all methods conservative treatment. And they can be understood!

In addition, in the early stages such therapy can be very effective. Let's look at another way to help in this situation: inhalation with a nebulizer.

There is a theory, held by some doctors, that when you remove a child's adenoids, you are literally crippling his immune system! Is it so?

Is it possible to avoid this and, most importantly, how to avoid it? All the most useful and interesting things on this difficult topic in today’s article!

Meaning of this device for inhalation is reduced to its Latin translation. WITH Latin language“nebula” is a cloud.

The device literally atomizes any medicine that is placed in it to turn it into a cloud - an aerosol.

Once in the throat, particles of such a “medicinal cloud” instantly settle on the inflamed tissues and are very well absorbed.

Nebulizer therapy is carried out for children, adults, and pregnant women. It is very effective and acceptable not only in the hospital, but also at home.

But why not then choose a simple inhaler? After all, the principle of its operation is very similar to that described above. It turns out that there is still a difference. Let's figure it out - which one?

Inhaler and nebulizer - which is better?

In essence, they are almost the same thing. A nebulizer is a subtype of inhalers. Its most significant difference, perhaps, is that steam nebulizers does not exist. Inhalers only. But they are not suitable for treating the disease we are talking about today.

The nebulizer has the property of more accurate and direct impact to the upper, middle or lower parts of the respiratory system.

You need to select a device together with your doctor, since there are many types of them, which differ from each other in structure and size. These parameters depend on the particle size of the resulting aerosol.

Solutions for inhalation with a nebulizer for adenoids in children

An effective option is inhalation with Cycloferon. It is problematic to buy this drug in its ready-made form, but you can take an injection ampoule of this medicine and mix it with four milliliters of saline solution.

The patient must breathe this mixture for 10 days, once a day for a duration of 5 minutes.

The second method is sodium chloride solution. It can be bought ready-made at any pharmacy. For one procedure you will need 5 ml. Agree on the number and frequency of procedures with your doctor.

In order to have an anti-inflammatory effect, use pharmaceutical extracts medicinal herbs. A good choice is Rotokan.

It is a mixture of calendula, chamomile and yarrow. The drug will gently relieve inflammation from the tissues and provide some relief.

If the cause of adenoiditis is infectious, then you can use a strong one for inhalation. natural antiseptic- Chlorophyllipt.

Before use, add as many as 10 parts of saline solution to a 1% solution of Chlorophyllipt.

Saline, soda-saline solutions are also useful, but their use must be strictly discussed with your doctor, because not all nebulizers and inhalers are suitable for this.

You need to choose the right one. The doctor will help you do this. And at the same time he will give you a recipe for a solution that is suitable specifically for you.

All these recipes for inhalation with a nebulizer for adenoids in children will be very effective at stages 1 and 2 of the disease. At the 3rd stage there is an opinion that they are already completely useless.

But before you run and cut the pharyngeal tonsils, if I were you, I would still try this method.

What determines the effectiveness of such a procedure?

This type of inhalation can bring significant relief to the baby and stop inflammation, because:

With this method, as much as 98% of the drug goes directly to its intended purpose. On inflamed tissues. And this figure was not taken out of thin air. These are estimates from the World Health Organization.

The nebulizer allows you to deliver active substance Directly for its intended purpose without the use of propellants.

This type of inhaler allows you to save medicine, since it all goes “to use.”

The procedure itself is very simple and children of a more conscious age can carry it out independently.

Thus, this type therapy at stages 1 and 2 in combination with other drugs and general strengthening child’s immunity, can significantly advance you in this difficult process of treatment in a conservative way.

But even at the 3rd stage of the disease, you can use it as a relief, for example, before bed.

Other types of inhalations

For this disease, the following types of inhalations are used:

Dry - a few drops of special essential oils are dripped onto a handkerchief and the child is allowed to breathe with such a handkerchief for 7-10 minutes.

Wet - place the child in a warm bath and drip a few drops of essential oil into it and bathe for 15 minutes.

Salt - heat a kilogram of salt, add a drop of eucalyptus or fir oil and let the child breathe for about 10 minutes.

Other methods of treating adenoids in children

Any adult will confirm that nasal congestion and difficulty breathing is a real problem. In this state it is very difficult to enjoy life and work effectively. This is for adults. Can you imagine what it’s like for kids?!

Their mood instantly deteriorates, they suffer from insomnia, practically cannot eat anything and are very capricious!

If you notice something similar in your child, then most likely it is inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil. In an inflamed state, it is also called adenoids.

There are many ways to treat this disease. Both conservative and radical. Among them:

Physiotherapy

Instillation of various herbs and decoctions

Use of medications

Adenoid removal

Conclusion

Of course, the sooner you start treatment for inflammation, the greater the chance you and your child have of avoiding surgery. I have already written many times in previous articles that removing the pharyngeal tonsil is not the best solution. But I will repeat.

The amygdala is a child’s immune organ, which is very necessary for him before puberty. Then it itself decreases and for many disappears completely as unnecessary.

And at the age of up to 12-14 years, it is in it that the most important processes of determination take place - what kind of infection is the little person’s body facing? Then the data is sent to immune cells and the body makes a decision - what, exactly, should be done about it?

Now that you understand the true nature and importance of the pharyngeal tonsil, you can make a more informed decision whether to remove it or treat it conservatively.
