Baby cough syrups on herbs

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).

Cough syrups for children

Coughing a child can be provoked by a huge number of reasons. Parents are always very concerned about this manifestation of the common cold, because they are ready to try any cough syrups for children to help crumbs. In order to find the best and most useful means for use, one should try to determine which disease the symptom is caused by. You must learn about the most popular and effective modern preparations.

Features of cough treatment in children

The symptom of sputum production is the natural reaction of the organism to external stimuli. It is quite normal that every person periodically coughs. It is not necessary to panic if the symptom of the infant before the age of two does not cause him anxiety, does not interfere with sleep, is not accompanied by a fever, a runny nose. However, if he does not give the baby a normal sleep or is, is an allergic reaction or a residual cold phenomenon, then urgent measures must be taken.

Dry cough

The reasons for this symptom are different:

• cold, virus, infection;
• supercooling;
• whooping cough;
• reflux (often observed in infants until the year);
• irritation of mucous membranes by external factors.

It is more difficult to cure a dry cough in a child than in an adult: the baby moves less and is more in a supine position, due to which stagnation of sputum occurs. To treat illnesses in infants from year is resolved only by those preparations which the expert will register, and the dose he calculates, instead of mum. It is advisable to use expectorants, because up to two years of infants can not drive out the mucus themselves, so be sure to buy them the means by which sputum goes. Still it is necessary to make sure that during the treatment the infant drinks a sufficient amount of liquid.

Wet

The wet type of cough in infants is easier to treat. Children from three years of boldly give a syrup from a cough inexpensive and effective with a safe compound. Breasts are more suitable herbs, for example, mother-and-stepmother, but only after consulting a pediatrician. Cough preparations with plant elements in the composition will also help. During treatment, it must be ensured that the baby drinks a lot. Mucolytic agents, for example, Omnitus, Stoptussin, Travisil, Fluimutsil, can not be used categorically.

Classification of cough medicines

According to their characteristics, all antitussive drugs are divided into three groups:

• expectorant;
• mucolytic;
• combined and central action.

Expectorants

If the infant is sick, he needs to urgently buy a medicine for a dry cough, for example, "Erespal "Alphabet "Gelisal". These drugs dilute mucus and transform an unproductive symptom, from which the babies are very much tormented and sleep badly. After their reception the sputum becomes less dense and viscous, leaves easier. Expectorant can be a reflex action that irritates the mucous membranes, or resorptive. After taking a resorptive drug, mucus is released more.

Mucolytics

Suspensions of this group, for example, "Mukaltin "Linkas "Bronchicum "Ambrobene dilute thick and sticky sputum, which is difficult to separate. Such drugs are not recommended for newborns and infants until two years. Mucolytics, for example, licorice root syrup, simply dilute mucus, but do not contribute to an increase in its volume, which can not be said about expectorants. They should be used in diseases of the lower parts of the respiratory tract. Never combine them with antitussive agents.

Combined and central action antitussives

Such a cough medicine for children should be used very carefully, because the composition may include harmful components. Often these drugs are produced with codeine, for example, syrup or "Sinekod" drops. The presence of a dangerous component is reflected in the name, and the drugs act on those segments of the brain that cause the reflex. The funds of this group not only block seizures, but also anesthetize, soothe. As a rule, they are used for infants who cough so much that they can not sleep at night, suffer from severe attacks.

Choosing the right children's medicine against cough: tips and tricks

Most mothers when a child coughs go into a state of panic and begin to convulsively think what would give this to his child, so that the cough as soon as possible is gone. In fact, not everything is so terrible, moreover, cough itself is not a disease and it is not worth trying to get rid of it quickly.Cough, in its essence, is nothing short of a protective reaction of the body to irritation of cough receptors, it is simply necessary for cleansing the respiratory tract from mucus and sputum, foreign bodies, blood and pus.That is why cough medicine for children should be selected especially carefully, because the correct choice depends on the effectiveness of its use and the duration of recovery.

It can be different

The composition of a child's medicine for coughing should include natural ingredients, for example extracts of herbs, plant roots, tree bark, etc. In addition, the composition of the mixture should include ingredients that improve its taste, because most of the useful and natural plant components have a very unpleasant taste. Most of the kids are wary of taking various medications, so the taste is really very important.The composition of the medicine will depend on what kind of cough the child has.There are two main types of cough:

• unproductive dry (barking),
• productive wet.

Dry cough appears when the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are affected by mechanical, chemical or thermal irritants, as well as by irritation of the pleura.Most often it occurs in the early stages of inflammation of the mucous membrane, when irritation already exists, and there is simply nothing to cough up. Unproductive cough can be debilitating paroxysmal, not bringing, as a rule, no relief, and unpronounceable. The medicine for cough for children in this case should have an antitussive effect and extinguish the irritation of the receptors. The composition of such funds most often includes extract of eucalyptus, licorice root, wild cherry, licorice and white acacia.

Wet productive cough differs from dry intensive sputum discharge.It, like the dry one, is paroxysmal and not paroxysmal, and differs only in the viscosity of phlegm. Calm a wet cough can only be when the sputum is completely gone, so the children's cough syrup with instructions for use should facilitate the early completion of this process and contain expectorants substance. Among natural expectorants are drugs with psyllium, mother-and-stepmother, alteum, elecampane and anise.

It is important to know

Currently, pharmacies can be purchased not only ready-made syrups, but also dry cough syrups for children that are bred with boiled water just before they are consumed. In order for the child's treatment to be truly effective, and most importantly safe, one must remember one truth: drugs intended for the treatment of one type of cough are harmful in the treatment of another.

Therefore, before rushing to the pharmacy and randomly buying the first syrup that has come, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the type of cough, and only a doctor can do it.

In every home where there are young children, there is always a cough medicine for children. Vinstruktsii, applied to the remedy, should be clearly defined, with what particular symptoms it should be taken. If you decide to use the already available funds before you go to the doctor, watch closely state of the child after taking the drug, so that in the event of the development of negative reactions in a timely manner cancel.
