Reviews for syrup "Linkas"

• At home, problems with drafts, so that the common cold phenomenon is permanent, as we do not fight with treacherous windows and doors. That's just recently, once again hung out with a child on a couple of snot and got a cough just heartbreaking. Until recently, people struggled with traditional methods and standard medical kit in the form of iodine net, effervescent tablets and grindings. And here we are familiar with a small child (very little seven-month old) advised to try the syrup "Linkas" - they say, harmlessly and effectively. Well, I hesitated a bit, of course - I'm cautious about unfamiliar drugs. Then read the recommendations on the Internet, found instructions for use and description. What to say, bribed the composition (solid medicinal herbs), plus the price (very low even today prices), plus the fact that you can take both children and adults - the difference is only in the number and frequency reception. I went to the pharmacy, bought it, started taking it with my daughters (by the way, by the way, for years). Very effective - we drank four days, cough almost completely passed. And the course there from five to seven days, so very quickly. The taste of the medicine is not nasty, the child, truth, from the smell curled - well, a little bit specific, but nothing, did not spit. So those who want to quickly and effectively get rid of colds and coughs - I highly recommend.

• A child brought a flu from school, three days went crazy from having a fever, and then a wet cough started. We thought that the worst thing was when the child was all burning, but the figures were even more terrible, when everything bubbled inside him, he choking of all this nastiness in the bronchi, and no pills and syrups help (for nothing, that the doctor prescribed - well, they do not take everyone is here). I went to the "Linkas" accidentally - frankly speaking, I was going to rake all the drugs from the counter in a row from despair, but, luckily, the elderly and experienced were getting the pharmacist. I advised you to try this miracle-syrup. We tried and drank a week. I must say, really helped with cheers! Not particularly pleasant to the taste, well, after all, this medicine, he does not have to. And so everything is just great. Now the bottle is always in the medicine cabinet, especially since the vacation goes without a prescription. Very convenient and the effect is fast.

• And here I want to talk about those who claim that the "Linkas" syrup is not even useful because of the presence of E217 additives in it. (My mother is a deeply religious person, reads all this literature about the harmfulness of dietary supplements, she has entire lists printed out all these E, there and the influence of everyone on the body is painted). Indeed, in the food industry both the addition of E217 and E216 are prohibited (preservatives, however, and very harmful), but in medicines is often added a small amount of preservatives, and the Federal Supervision Service in Letter No. 01I-343/05 very much even permits the use of both methylparahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate. Those who write about the harmfulness of preservatives should understand that the drugs are much more closely controlled than products - they are not released to the market without clinical trials, and a lot of instances need to be passed before registration. So do not scare yourself with unhealthy fears and apply the drug to your health.

• Syrup "Linkas" for colds and coughs drink the whole family: grandparents, my husband and son, to him, a year. First, the price is very affordable, especially against the background of other medicines. Secondly, natural ingredients, virtually no chemistry and lack of alcohol (you know, when a small child is in the family, this is one of the main factors). And, thirdly, a very fast and qualitative cough relief. I generally almost always cough for a couple of days, the child has a little longer, the rest of the family is about six days. By the way, there are negative effects with prolonged use of almost zero, I remember that my husband drank about 10 days with a very strong cough, and everything was fine. What else really like, the drug relieves pain in the throat. We use the syrup constantly, there are no complaints, even the allergy has not come out once.

• And I taught my grandmother to the Lincas. A bad old woman, age is already from a series of "old age she spits no worse than a small child, if the medicine is not to her liking. But this one - he drinks. The glasses will put on, the composition reads again, leaves quite for each grass that is included in the composition. She spoons herself a spoon, puts it in her mouth. And she is happy, and we are less bothered - the age is such when all kinds of sores willingly cling, especially catarrhal.

• Cool thing, my wife buys children. Recipe is not necessary, as part of solid useful plants - I curiously read for the sake of the Internet, the pharmacy in one bottle, and only. I really did not drink it myself, I do not like medicine at all. But I looked at my people - normally reacted, cough passed quickly, I did not notice any side effects. In general, I can recommend.

• I decided to try it on the advice of a friend, she has a baby for three years, the child is painful and always catches a cold, then more serious than that. My illness is rare, doctors can not stand, so if not global something, I prefer to buy medicines on natural ingredients. Self-medication, of course, very few people will approve, on the other hand, you yourself know what kind of medicine we have. In general, I told a friend on the phone the problem, she told me "Linkas" advised. You know, I'm happy - daughter without a murmur for a week, she drank the cough, she cough. I then bought myself another lozenges "Linkas" bought, also a good thing.

• I had an amusing incident at work, I planted half of the department on the "Linkas quite unintentionally, by the way. We have a powerful air conditioner on the window, it's cool in the summer, but only to those who do not directly enter the zone of its operation. And my table and two neighboring ones fit just right into this zone. Usually, I set moderate temperature with the girls, but did not follow them, and here's the result: we squish, cough, sip. Work at us to the hospital does not have, so they went, until the dry cough began to flow smoothly into the wet one. At home in the medicine box, the remains of the "Lincas" were kept, I gave the baby a flu when I got flu. In general, took the bottle to work, sipping on the spoon. Then I look - at employees on tables of a box with pastilles "Linkas" lay. The example is contagious, however. But quickly all were cured.

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.

How can you tell a dry cough from wet in a child?

Each attentive mother who cares about the health of her baby should know how to distinguish dry cough from wet in a child. Cough reflex is a protective reaction that occurs in the body due to irritation of cough receptors. Such a process is very important for removing unnecessary contents from the respiratory tract, such as dust, smoke and other irritants. When untimely treatment of such a process, it can be prolonged for a long time due to the fact that the mucus will become denser and withdraw it will be more difficult.

This painful process can occur in a child regardless of the time of year.Sharp changes in air temperature can cause a decrease in the body's natural defense, which can lead to a cold with all its symptoms and consequences. The immune system of children is vulnerable to external factors, because it is not yet fully formed.

If the sputum stagnates in the bronchial tree, the inflammatory process begins to develop. Over time, its complications can become bronchitis or pneumonia. This phenomenon can occur not only because of the common cold. This is a natural defense of the body from external stimuli. Cough is dry and wet. These species differ in that, with a dry cough, the inflammatory process of the mucous larynx and pharynx occurs, while the wet one is characterized by an abundance of mucus in the bronchi. The treatment of dry cough is to use soothing and anti-spasmodics, and the wet form is treated with expectorants. It is very important to be able to distinguish these two species for successful treatment of the disease.

Features of dry cough

Dry, or unproductive, cough is one of the first symptoms of many viral or infectious diseases (eg, bronchitis or pharyngitis). It can be nasal, but sputum is not separated. This is because during the cold, inflammation develops in the throat and larynx, excessive amounts of mucus are produced and all the time there is a desire to clear your throat. The cough reflex is not accompanied by the release of mucus, it is strong, harsh, painful. Dry cough appears due to colds and infectious diseases of the respiratory system.

When a cold starts, the child feels a choking sensation in the throat and a kind of cough appears. After some time (3 - 4 days) the dryness decreases, the cough becomes wet, as the body develops phlegm. Then there is a slowing down of the mucus and coughing again can become dry. The reasons for the development of such a process are:

1. Influenza: during it appears a dry and hoarse cough, gradually turning into wet.
2. Cigarette smoke.
3. Dry air in the room.
4. Harsh chemical irritants, for example, paint with a strong aroma, various solutions.
5. Periodic dry cough during the day can signal such infectious diseases as laryngitis (dry and barking), whooping cough (with spasms and whistles) or measles.
6. Allergic reactions.
7. Tracheitis.
8. Pharyngitis.
9. Pleurisy.

Dangerous is the kind of cough caused by a disease in which there is edema of the trachea and larynx (false croup).

Depending on the type of reason for such a reflex, it can appear in the daytime or only at night, have a barking or bothersome character, while mucus is not separated. Such a process can be paroxysmal, debilitating the children's body and, in the end, does not bring a result in the form of sputum discharge.

With a dry cough, there is a strong desire to cough, but doctors strongly recommend not doing this, not straining strongly the vocal cords and small vessels, since the consequence may be hoarseness or loss vote.

Parents should know that with a dry cough the child has an inflammatory process or irritation of the respiratory system, so you can not let the disease run its course, hoping that everything will pass by itself.

Treat dry cough

Ignoring the treatment of such a disease is fraught with the transition to a chronic stage. Pharmacy chains offer us a wide range of different cough remedies. It must be remembered that it is important for a child to see a doctor before starting treatment. All medicines are divided into synthetic (in the composition of which there are chemicals) and natural (they contain vegetable raw materials).

According to the principle of action, drugs are divided into anti-spasmic (antitussive, which relieve spasm and calm cough) and expectorants (contribute to the dilution of sputum and the excretion of it from the organs respiration). Preparations based on plant raw materials act more gently on the body, have a small percentage of side effects. Therefore, when choosing medicines for your child, focus on precisely such means.

Unproductive cough is treated with antitussive drugs, and manifestations of moist cough are used by expectorants. Antitussive drugs have a calming effect on the mucous membranes of the pharynx and larynx, eliminate spasms in the bronchi. These drugs include:

1. Libexin.
2. Stoptussin.
3. Tusuprex.
4. Herbion syrup of plantain.

If the manifestations are very strong, it is possible to use drugs that inhibit the reflex, but they are used for a short time and only when a symptom appears. They are of central and peripheral action, aimed at suppressing the cough reflex (Ethylmorphine, Codeine, Glaucin).

Features of wet cough

Wet cough (productive) appears a few days after dry. Its difference is sound. Usually at the child it sounds sonorous and deeply, sometimes even gurgling. This type of reflex is accompanied by excessive sputum discharge, it is sometimes difficult to cough. The volume of the cough increases, and after the mucus goes off, it decreases. If the inflammation passes in a mild form, the color of the sputum is clear, and with prolonged forms of bronchial inflammation, the color of the sputum changes, there may be impurities of pus.

Withdrawal of wet content allows to clear bronchi and lungs from mucus, which is an excellent medium for the development of pathogenic flora. This kind of cough appears as a result of viral infections, a common cold, allergic manifestations, inflammation of the bronchi and lungs. Due to the fact that the secretions have a viscous consistency, they need to be provoked to move away in order to prevent the bacteria from multiplying in them.

If the mucus becomes turbid, it can signal the onset of the inflammatory process. The brown color of the discharge indicates an allergic reaction, the green color indicates sinusitis and other infectious diseases of the respiratory apparatus. Excessive sputum discharge indicates tracheitis or bronchitis. If the wet cough changes dry, this indicates a process of recovery of the child, so the task of the previous stage of treatment was to transfer the dry cough into a wet form.

Treatment for wet cough

Mucolytics are prescribed for better sputum discharge. They help reduce the viscosity of mucus and help it to be quickly removed from the respiratory system. The intake of such drugs can be combined with the use of a large amount of liquid (drink teas, compotes, fruit drinks).

Preparations based on chemistry better cope with the mucus and the decrease in its viscosity. To help with the reflex help means on a plant basis ("Pektolvan Ivy "Herbion Primrose"). When treating wet cough, a generous warm drink, milk, radish juice, honey (if the child is not allergic) is recommended.

A particularly important mate's assistant in the treatment of cough is the nebulizer. Inhalation can be done with the help of special means or usual saline solution.

When treating both dry and wet cough, it is very important to understand the differences between them and the characteristics of each species.

It is necessary strictly to follow the prescriptions of the doctor, to select the drugs according to the age of the child and his features (a tendency to allergies).
