Syrup for bronchitis for children

All expectorants for cough with bronchitis

When ORVI, bronchitis with a damp cough with poorly separated sputum, the use of medicines is recommended, which either dilute sputum - mucolytic drugs, or facilitate its separation - expectorants from cough. These include both herbal remedies and synthetic preparations.

Many of us prefer to restrict the intake of medications not obtained from natural substances, however, it should always be remembered that any a medicinal plant, no matter what positive properties it possessed, as well as synthetic agents have side effects, and has a number contraindications.

Since the composition of all medicinal plants is very complex and saturated, in addition to useful and medicinal herbs, a lot of other, sometimes toxic, harmful substances are included in the herbs and preparations. Moreover, in our days, the majority of the population suffers from various types of allergies, and any drug, even the most expensive, effective and safe, can cause an inadequate body reaction.

Classification of funds that facilitate cough and promote rapid recovery

All means for cough relief are subdivided into antitussives, expectorants and mucolytic agents.

• Antitussives, as well as combination preparations - are indicated for dry, unproductive cough, disturbing sleep and appetite (see. article antitussives with dry cough).
• Expectorants - are indicated with a productive cough, when the sputum is not thick, not viscous.
• Mucolytic agents - are shown with a productive cough, but with a thick, hard to separate, viscous sputum.

Any cough medicine must be prescribed only by your doctor. Antitussive remedies can not be used to treat concomitantly with mucolytic drugs, but there are combination drugs that have a weak antitussive and expectorant effect.

Expectorants - means that stimulate expectoration are also divided into:

• Reflex action - these drugs have an irritating effect on the gastric mucosa, and this in its turn excites the vomiting center, but vomiting does not occur, but the production of mucus in respiratory ways. The peristalsis of the smooth musculature of the bronchi and the activity of the epithelium, which removes phlegm from small to large bronchioles and into the trachea, is also intensified. The result of this irritation is the facilitation of expectoration of mucus and the removal of sputum from the bronchi. In general, these are herbal preparations - thermopsis, Ledum, mother and stepmother, althea, plantain, thyme, etc.

• Direct resorptive action - after digestion of these cough suppressants in the digestive tract, they cause irritation of the bronchial mucosa, thereby increasing the secretion of liquid sputum.

Mucolytic agents are preparations that dilute sputum:

• Mukoliticheskie means, affecting the elasticity and viscosity of bronchial mucus (ATSTS, etc.)
• Mucolytic agents that accelerate the excretion of sputum (bromhexine, ambroxol)
• Mucolytic drugs that reduce the formation of mucus (Libexin Muko, M-cholinoblockers, glucocorticoids).

How are expectorants used for bronchitis?

Expectorants for bronchitis are an integral part of the complex therapy used to treat this disease. Without these remedies, it is not possible to cure bronchitis. Expectoration means excretion of sputum (mucus), accumulated in the bronchi due to the inflammatory process. During the disease, sputum is produced in the respiratory tract in larger quantities than usual, and is excreted from the body together with a cough.

Bronchitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by damage to the mucous membranes of the bronchi. Cough is the main symptom of the disease. In the acute phase, it is mostly dry, then it becomes wet, with a lot of sputum. In the chronic form of the disease, there is a frequent intense cough with a sputum of yellow or greenish color, sometimes containing pus.Excretion of sputum from the bronchi facilitates a faster clearance of the mucous membranes from the inside, normalizes breathing, reduces the intensity of coughing.In order for the mucus from the bronchi to depart more easily and quickly, expectorants are prescribed.

For what it is necessary to display phlegm and how to do it correctly

In healthy bronchi, mucus is always present in a small amount. Its function is to protect respiratory organs from dust, harmful microorganisms and other unnecessary substances. During the inflammatory process, sputum is produced more intensively several times, in addition, it becomes viscous, thick and practically can not be excreted independently.

Mucus is removed from the respiratory system during coughing. Cough reflexes stimulate its expulsion by the bronchi.

In order for the phlegm to depart more easily, it must be diluted with medicines.

Activating the excretion of mucus can be done by such methods:

• warm and plentiful drink (contributes to the mucus discharge);
• humidification of air (insufficient moisture leads to thickening and drying of sputum);
• Inhalation (stimulate independent cleansing of the bronchi, relieve inflammation);
• expectorant and mucolytic drugs;
• Special gymnastics, which helps to eliminate mucus.

Pay attention to excretion of sputum immediately when a damp cough occurs, otherwise mucus may accumulate in a very large amount, there will be impurities of pus, and this will lead to a general intoxication.

Types of expectorants

All expectorants for bronchitis are divided into two types: direct action and reflex. Drugs of direct action dilute sputum and simultaneously affect the bronchi, reducing the inflammatory process. Such products are available in the form of tablets, syrups, soluble powders (Lazolvan, ACC, Bromhexin).

The means of reflex action consist of natural components, capable of causing a cough reflex when ingested. Getting into the stomach and esophagus, they irritate the mucous membrane and the epithelium of the bronchi, which causes a cough and promotes the excretion of mucus. Produced in the form of syrups, extracts and herbal preparations (root of althea, licorice, plantain).

Also there are preparations of combined effect. They possess simultaneously several actions: expectorant, mucolytic, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. This remedy is more powerful, as it immediately removes inflammation, depresses the microbial flora, dilutes it and removes phlegm. Such funds are used for the chronic form of the disease. They have side effects, so they can only be taken as prescribed by the doctor.

The most effective drugs

There are a number of drugs that have a stronger therapeutic effect, although they have some contraindications. Such tools are faster and better able to cure sputum:

2. Bromhexine. Has a strong expectorant and mucolytic effect, effectively reduces the viscosity of phlegm. It is prescribed for chronic disease. Produced in the form of syrup, separately there is a children's syrup. Contraindicated in pregnancy, children under three years of age, with peptic ulcer diseases of the digestive system.
3. Ambroxol. The drug in the form of syrup, facilitates the separation of mucus and reduces the intensity of cough. It is prescribed for acute and chronic illness. The drug is contraindicated in pregnancy, can cause allergies.

After a while, the juice forms in the cavity. This expectorant is recommended for a damp cough with a lot of sputum. Tincture should be taken 1-2 teaspoons.

From pharmaceutical preparations for children it is better to choose vegetable syrups. They do not contain preservatives, colorants and alcohol. Many of them are very sweet and tasty, in addition, they are all made from medicinal herbs, which not only stimulate expectoration, but also enhance the immunity of the child. Some drugs have a complex effect: they simultaneously contribute to the separation of sputum and relieve inflammation in the glands of the bronchi.

Inhalers are considered effective for expectoration of sputum in children. Such procedures make children older. Inhalations are easy to prepare at home. The grass of lime, chamomile, licorice is flooded with water and brought to a boil. Do not breathe over the steam for more than ten minutes. Also in boiling water you can drip a few drops of the pharmacy tincture of eucalyptus. Inhalations with baking soda contribute to liquefaction of sputum, steam from boiled potatoes clears the airways, reduces the intensity of cough. It is important to remember that with any cold and inflammation the body needs a large amount of vitamin C, and its regular use is an excellent preventive maintenance of diseases.

A cough medicine for children: a list of effective. What to give to children from a dry cough

Cough is the most common sign for respiratory diseases. Especially alarming is when it occurs in young children. Its causes are diverse, and, based on this, the methods of combating it are different. How to choose a cough medicine for children? To answer this question, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of occurrence of such a symptom.

The main causes leading to the occurrence of cough in children

Cough reflex is a natural process in the body. It can indicate the presence of the disease, but can only serve to purify the airways from accumulated secretions. A single unobtrusive cough, not accompanied by a rise in body temperature or any changes in the behavior of the child, should not cause parents special anxiety. If coughing causes anxiety, then it is necessary to find out its cause, in order to choose the most effective cough medicine for children.

There are two leading factors that cause the occurrence of cough: penetration into the body of a child the causative agent of infection (and the development of a corresponding catarrhal disease) or the presence of an allergic reaction. A child's organism, especially a newborn, is imperfect and very sensitive to various viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases.

These harmful agents, falling into the respiratory system with a flow of inhaled air, get on the mucous membrane, are introduced into its cells and begin to actively multiply, while at the place of their introduction there is irritation and increased mucus formation, to which the body reacts cough. Similarly, a reaction to the ingress of allergens into the respiratory tract, whether particles of dust, animal hair or plant pollen, is formed. Cough is a protective reaction of the body to irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory system or inflammatory process in them and releases them from various mechanical particles, microorganisms and accumulated mucus. The following types of cough are distinguished by the nature, productivity and sound.

Types of cough

Distinguish cough dry (in other words, unproductive), arising at the initial stage of the disease and not accompanied by sputum, and wet (or productive), which occurs as sputum accumulates and contributes to its spillage.

Dry cough is considered the most intrusive. It can pass paroxysmally or resemble barking. Such a symptom tires the child, prevents him from sleeping and can cause vomiting. Barking coughing attacks most often occur with the development of tracheitis or laryngitis and are associated with changes in the vocal cords. To soften the throat, you can use anti-inflammatory sprays or lozenges and alkaline drink to children from dry cough. The medicine will remove the mucosal edema and reduce the inflammatory process.

Sometimes you can come across such a rare type of dry cough at the moment, like pertussis. It became rare because almost all children now receive vaccinations against whooping cough, which reliably protects them from this disease. Cough with whooping cough is dry, paroxysmal, leading the baby's body to exhaustion. With this disease prescribe sedatives and recommend walking in the fresh air.

Quite infrequently occurring disease - respiratory chlamydia of newborns, in which there is a development of coughing of sonorous, jerky, dry - staccato cough. When cured of the underlying disease, it quickly disappears.

There are also types of cough that are not associated with catarrhal diseases:

• cough of an allergic nature - manifests paroxysmally, often occurs at night, before the onset of an attack the child is cheerful, does not feel unwell, suddenly starts to cough often;
• spastic - differs from the usual dry cough in that with it at the end there is a whistling sound; he is very intrusive and is not treated with antitussive drugs;
• bitonal - occurs, in particular, when a foreign body enters the bronchi; with it, the low tone of the cough becomes high;
• cough, which occurs with bronchial asthma, - appears with deep breaths and is accompanied by pain;
• cough associated with food intake, sometimes arising in the pathology of the esophagus or stomach;
• cough of psychogenic origin, which occurs in stressful situations; he appears exclusively in the afternoon, but regularly, has a metallic echo.

The cough medicine for children should be selected taking into account that all respiratory diseases, in mostly manifested first dry cough, which after a period of time passes into wet. But still, by the nature of the cough, it is possible to distinguish which part of the respiratory system has started the inflammation.

Features of cough in certain respiratory diseases

Laryngitis, or inflammation of the larynx, is manifested in the child by a dry cough, hoarseness of the voice, rapidity and difficulty breathing. There is a feeling of perspiration in the throat and severe pain when swallowing. After a while, the cough becomes wheezing due to a change in the airway lumen. Later, the swelling of the vocal cords subsides, and the cough becomes wet due to sputum discharge.

When tracheitis (trachea inflammation), the main symptom is a dry barking cough that starts suddenly, mainly during the night rest, and can last for several hours. Breathing can become whistling or wheezing. To alleviate the condition of the sick child, the doctor will suggest a cough suppressant, such as "Sinekod".

If the inflammatory process descends through the respiratory tract, then inflammation develops in the bronchial tubes (bronchitis) or in the lungs - pneumonia. These two diseases are distinguished from each other by X-ray examination. The initial stage of bronchitis is not different from other respiratory diseases - there are pain in the larynx, nose pawns, the child is sleepy and sluggish. Cough also from the dry at the beginning of the disease becomes wet. If there was an edema in the mucosa of the bronchus itself and the narrowing of its lumen, one speaks of obstructive bronchitis, which is quite common in allergies. If bronchitis is not cured, it can develop into a chronic form, which is fraught with depletion of bronchial walls and the emergence of bronchial asthma.

For the treatment of cough in children, many drugs are produced that have different active ingredients and differ in the mechanism of action. If you fight with children's cough alone, you need to understand them very well, so as not to harm and not aggravate the course of the disease.

Medicines against cough for children: classification

All medicines for cough are divided into two large groups - preparations of central and peripheral action.

The medicinal substances that affect the central nervous system include Sinekod's Tusuprex Libexin and others. They act overwhelmingly on the cough center in the cerebral cortex, very quickly inhibit the cough reflex and can be prescribed to children from a dry cough. The medicine is chosen for them only by the doctor, since it does not reduce the inflammatory process in the respiratory tract and with increased mucus formation it can be stagnant. Therefore, they should be used only on the advice of a pediatrician and only with a dry paroxysmal cough (for example, with whooping cough).

Preparations that have a peripheral effect, in turn, are subdivided according to the mechanism of action into several species. They include:

• Coughing agents that envelop the irritated areas of the mucous membrane in the upper parts of the respiratory system and reduce the inflammatory processes in it. They are appointed with the appearance of initial signs of irritation. They are good for children from a dry cough; the medicine is prescribed in this case, taking into account their age.
• Expectorants for cough, which contribute to the release of bronchi from accumulated exudate. They are also divided into subgroups. The main active ingredient in the first of these may be plant extracts (licorice, coltsfoot, marshmallow, plantain, thyme and thermopsis) or iodides (preparations "potassium iodide" and "sodium iodide"). Under the action of these agents in the cells of the bronchial mucosa, the production of mucus is increased, which liquefies phlegm, that is, it can quickly leave the bronchi. These medications are not suitable for infants and children with neurotic disorders or a tendency to vomiting. When prescribing drugs from the second group - mucolytics - liquefaction of the contents of the bronchi occurs without increasing its volume.
• They also produce a combined medicine that suppresses coughing. For older children, it fits perfectly, since it not only affects the center of the cough, but also softens the irritation of the respiratory tract.

All medicines should be selected taking into account the stage of the disease, the manifesting symptoms and the age of the child. It is advisable not to engage in self-medication, but to consult a pediatrician. It is especially important to ask for medical help in case of a breast infection.

Features of the appearance of a cough reflex and an effective cough medicine for children up to the year

In infants quite often, especially after sleep or feeding, there may be a physiological cough (in the form of rare coughs), not associated with any disease. Since most of the time the child spends on the back, mucus from the nasal passages can sink into the throat, which will cause a cough reflex. May cause it and the ingress of milk or mixture into the respiratory system during feeding or saliva with increased salivation. Also, an external factor can cause such a reaction: dry air, dust or tobacco smoke. Such a cough should not cause much concern, you just need to eliminate the cause of its appearance. If the symptom is intrusive, and the child has a fever or behavior changes, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

The peculiarity of the course of catarrhal diseases is that with a dry cough a so-called "false croup" - swelling of the larynx and vocal cords, which leads to a decrease in their lumen, and the baby begins to suffocate. This is a very dangerous condition, requiring immediate help from specialists. The account is here for minutes.

Just as dangerous is a wet cough, which in a nursing baby very quickly descends into the lungs, and banal the runny nose may soon develop into pneumonia, so the babies with suspicion of bronchitis immediately put in hospital. If the situation is not so serious, then, choosing a cough medicine for an infant, it must be taken into account that not all dosage forms are suitable for them.

It is good to have at home a special compressor or ultrasonic inhaler that will deliver the medicine directly to the mucous membrane in the airways. You can use solutions for inhalation "Lazolvan" or "Ambrobene" (they are also prescribed for cough and inward). They are convenient in that they are dosed by drop.
