Recommendations for the safe use of ready-to-use sprays
Aqualor Throat for children, the price of which seems to many to be unreasonably high, can significantly facilitate condition during illness, accelerate recovery and significantly reduce the duration of acute period. With proper use, most buyers become regular customers of the manufacturer.
For maximum efficiency, you should adhere to a number of rules, the observance of which will reduce the consumption of funds and make the procedures as effective as possible.
At first glance, the human tonsils, located in the pharynx, may seem like an extra organ that does not perform any useful functions.
However, these formations play one of the key roles in maintaining good health:
- prevent the ingress of foreign particles into the lung tissue;
- immune cells synthesize active interferons on them;
- as a result, viruses and microbes die after contact.
The tonsils have a complex structure with many grooves, depressions and lacunae in which food debris can accumulate. All this, combined with warmth and high humidity in the oral cavity, creates favorable conditions for the development and reproduction of pathological microorganisms.
Against the background of washing and other methods of restoring normal health, doctors very often prescribe sprays and aerosols containing antiseptic substances and antibiotics.
In all these cases, especially if the child is prone to developing allergic reactions, one should be aware of the risk of developing laryngospasm. In some cases, it ends with extensive Quincke's edema and is accompanied by a serious threat to the survival of the child.
Symptoms of the development of complications:
- breathing for no apparent reason becomes difficult, wheezing;
- this is due to the gradual narrowing of the airway lumen;
- with a further increase in symptoms, immediate medical assistance is required;
- then shortness of breath and a feeling of shortness of breath appear even at rest;
- at the same time, the symptoms of hypoxia increase, the skin acquires a blue tint;
- then they reach the most acute stage, when the attack can be fatal.
Therefore, at the first suspicion of the development of a pathological condition, you should always immediately call an ambulance. In this case, the behavior of loved ones should be calm enough, since excitement will only accelerate the development of laryngospasm in the victim.
Safe spray Aqualor Throat is highly effective for eliminating pathological processes on the mucous membranes in children and adults.
With a competent approach to the treatment process, it will provide significant assistance to reduce the overall recovery time, even in the presence of severe symptoms at the very beginning of the pathological process. And in the case of the earliest start of the course therapy, the consumption of funds will be minimal, and the price in this case will cease to seem overpriced.
