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).

What cough medicine can I use for children under one year?

Cough is the most common symptom in respiratory diseases. Drugs for cough for children up to a year are selected by the pediatrician, taking into account the nature of the symptom and the reasons for its occurrence. After all, the greatest concern is its presence in infants. Depending on the origin of cough, the treatment methods and pharmacological properties of the prescribed drugs differ. To understand which drug will be most effective for a newborn, it is necessary to understand the process of origin of cough.

The main factors contributing to the occurrence of cough in children

Coughing in an infant is a manifestation of a natural reflex in the body.It can be a sign of the presence of an inflammatory process or help in clearing the respiratory tract from the formed mucus. A slight single cough in a child without a fever with no changes in behavior should not cause alertness to the parents. If the symptom delivers a child discomfort, then we need to look for the cause of its occurrence and select an effective treatment.

There are two main factors contributing to the appearance of a cough: ingestion of an infant infection, resulting in the onset of a cold, and the emergence of a reaction to an allergen. The organism of the infant child because of the unformed immune system reacts very sensitively to the viruses and bacteria in the environment. Harmful microorganisms, penetrating the respiratory tract with the baby's breathing air, multiply rapidly in the mucous membrane. In places where they penetrate, irritation develops and mucus is intensely formed. The baby's body begins to react with a cough. By the same principle, there is a reaction to allergens, which may be household dust, pollen of plants or villi of wool. The cough process is the response of the newborn's body to irritation of the mucous membrane and an attempt to get rid of various mechanical particles and accumulated sputum. Depending on the nature, intensity and sound distinguish certain varieties of cough.

Types of cough

Cough is dry (unproductive) or wet (productive). The first species appears at the onset of the disease and is not accompanied by the separation of sputum. The second species is characterized by intense mucus discharge. Dry cough is the most annoying. He goes through bouts and looks like barking. He gives the greatest concern to the child, does not allow him to sleep and is able to induce vomitive reaction. Such coughing is often a sign of the onset of trachea or bronchitis, it may indicate changes in the vocal cords. With this symptom, an alkaline drink and antimicrobial agents that soften the throat are shown. This will help reduce the swelling of the mucosa and will help reduce the inflammatory process.

Despite the fact that children receive vaccinations against whooping cough, dry cough may indicate the presence of this disease. With whooping cough appoint sedatives and walks in the fresh air. Sometimes a sonorous, jerky cough may indicate a rare disease to date - the respiratory chlamydia of newborns. Cough passes in a short time with the successful treatment of this disease.

Coughing attacks of an allergic nature occur mainly at night, they can be accompanied by whistling sounds and do not respond to treatment with cough suppressants. If a low tone on coughing passes into a high sound, then it can speak of ingress of foreign object into the bronchi. With bronchial asthma, the symptom appears with a deep sigh and painful pain accompanies it. The presence of a cough in a child may be due to the presence of a pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, such a symptom occurs when eating.

Coughing with metallic sounds can be a consequence of the child's stress. This symptom appears constantly and only in the daytime. The cough medicine for babies is selected, given that in the main all catarrhal diseases are detected initially by a dry cough, which then goes to the wet one. Although it is from the characteristics of a cough that you can understand where the inflammatory process begins.

Characteristic properties of cough in certain respiratory diseases

Inflammation of the larynx, or laryngitis, characterized by the presence of dry cough, heavy breathing and hoarseness of the voice. There are painful sensations when swallowing and irritation in the throat. Later, the cough begins to be accompanied by a whistle due to a modification in the passage of the airways. When the swelling of the vocal cords decreases, a wet cough begins due to separation of sputum.

With tracheitis, the main symptom is a dry, prolonged cough with sudden attacks at night. Breathing is accompanied by wheezing and whistling. With this disease, in order to facilitate the course of the disease, the pediatrician can prescribe the "Synecode" remedy, which suppresses the cough. With unfavorable treatment, inflammation can drop lower and there is a risk of bronchitis or pneumonia. These diseases are diagnosed by X-ray.

Symptomatics of bronchitis at the initial stage does not differ from other respiratory diseases: stuffy nose, sore throat, lethargy and drowsiness of the baby, dry cough turns into wet. With edema of the bronchial mucosa and a decrease in lumen, obstructive bronchitis is diagnosed. This disease often accompanies an allergy, the neglected form of which can lead to the onset of bronchial asthma.

Classification of cough drugs for children

Medicines are divided into two groups: central and peripheral agents.

The first group of drugs include: "Sinekod "Libexin "Tusuprex etc. These drugs restrain the cough reflex, affecting the center in the cerebral cortex. They do not fight with the inflammatory process, they are used solely for the doctor's prescription to alleviate the condition of the child in dry, with attacks, coughing, for example, with whooping cough.

The drugs of the second group are divided according to the principle of influence on certain species. These are enveloping drugs that reduce inflammation in irritated areas of the mucous membrane. Assigned to children with dry cough at the initial stage of the disease.

Expectorants for cough are prescribed to cleanse the bronchi from accumulated sputum. The main active substance in such preparations can be plant origin or iodides. Their action is based on increasing the formation of mucus, which contributes to the dilution of sputum and removal of it from the bronchi. Such drugs are not suitable for infants and children prone to vomiting and with neurotic disorders. Under the influence of mucolytic drugs, also belonging to this group, the sputum located in the bronchi is diluted without increasing the volume.

There are also combined preparations that simultaneously reduce irritation of the mucosa and affect the center of the cough reflex.

Treatment is selected by the pediatrician taking into account the child's age, course of the disease and the presence of symptoms. With infants, it is not allowed to engage in self-medication, it is important to contact the medical institution in time for help.

One of the drawbacks of these drugs is that their medicinal properties begin to appear only a few days after the start of application.

Beginning with the 6-month-old age, it is possible to use herbal preparations. These are syrups, produced on the basis of an althaea or licorice root. When choosing a drug with a complex composition, it is necessary to carefully study its components in order to exclude the presence of a substance that causes allergy in them. In the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract in children from several months, the drug based on the extract of ivy - "Gedelix" - has proved to be very useful. When it is applied, dilute sputum begins to separate, cough softens. Before use, it is necessary to conduct an allergy test, diluting the desired dose with boiled water and observing if an allergic reaction has occurred.
