According to the instructions for the treatment of oral infections, in 1 tbsp. water cooled to room temperature, you need to dilute 1 tbsp. l. drug. The correct concentration will be dark yellow in color. If it is intended for a child, it is better, when drawing up a solution, to inject the active substance a few drops with a pipette until the water turns light yellow.

How to rinse children?

Iodinol is acceptable for use for children over 3-5 years old if the concentration of iodine in the solution is lowered. For a volume of water in 250 ml, 1/3 tbsp is added. l. drug. The child must learn not to swallow, but to spit out the medicine during the rinsing procedure. This will protect his stomach from burns.

Treatment of angina with Iodinol is carried out under the supervision of adults. Before use, be sure to read the instructions and strictly follow the recommendations.

6. Spit out the used liquid.

Before the procedure, consult a doctor. If the child cannot rinse properly without swallowing, you can simply lubricate the diseased tissue with the same solution. Reducing the possibility of a negative reaction of the body to this drug can be achieved by observing the requirements described in the instructions.

How to gargle for adults?

In the therapy of adult patients, the preparation of the solution is carried out in the usual way: 1 tbsp. water is diluted 1 tbsp. l. drug. In this case, it is important to completely dissolve Iodinol in water so that its color becomes uniform.

If the prepared solution causes an unpleasant tingling sensation or a sharp burning sensation upon contact with the mucous membrane, then its concentration should be reduced. To do this, warm water is added to the container and everything is thoroughly mixed.

Uneven mixing can cause tissue burns. When the solution turns rich yellow, you can start the procedure. The usual course lasts 5 days. If symptoms go away, it can be reduced.

The procedure for the procedure is as follows:

1. Pour the product into the container.
2. Moisten the lubricating brush.
3. Treat the diseased tissue several times.
4. Pour out the rest of the solution.

This is how the swollen tonsils are lubricated.

As an antiseptic for lubrication, the drug is prescribed for:

• sore throat and inflammation of the oral cavity;
• prevention of infections;
• ulcers;
• otitis media;
• treatment of burns.

Throat treatment rules

Iodinol is an effective treatment for many diseases. In addition to rinsing the throat, it is used internally. The dosage and the number of procedures are agreed with the attending physician.

When used topically, therapy is most effective in the following cases:

Appointment	Description
Lavage of the deep sections of the tonsils and the periopharyngeal space.	The procedure is performed every 2 hours for 2 days with short breaks.
Otitis treatment	Therapy can be carried out from 2 weeks to 1 month by instilling 5 or 8 drops into each ear.
Irrigation of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa with rhinitis	The procedure is carried out for several months every 4 days. Pre-wound crusts are soaked and removed.
Lubrication of the tonsils in acute chronic tonsillitis	It is done every day until the disease is completely stopped.
Therapy of varicose and trophic ulcers as an impregnation of napkins	First, the affected areas are washed, and then zinc ointment is applied to them, on top of which a bandage with the drug is applied. It has not been removed for several days.

Iodinol is also used in the treatment of burns and purulent, weeping wounds as gauze dressings and when creating a solution for douching when thrush appears.

Sore throat treatment

The solution of the drug is effective for different types of angina:

• follicular;
• lacunar;
• purulent.

During the period of its acute course, the procedure is recommended to be carried out every 4 hours. If the symptoms are not too severe, it is enough to do this 4 times a day. For the treatment of purulent sore throat, it is preferable to lubricate diseased tissue. But if this causes a gag reflex in the patient, it is better to replace it with a gargle.

Correctly, this procedure is performed as follows:

1. Pour about 50 ml of the prepared solution into your mouth.
2. Throw your head back and say the sound "A" for 20-30 seconds.
3. Spit out the used solution.
4. Do not take food or water for 1 hour.

Rinsing is carried out up to 4 times a day. In the acute course of the disease, you can combine irrigation and treatment of the mucous membrane of the throat or mouth with a swab dipped in a solution.

A sore throat

Gargle the throat for 1-2 minutes. The procedure is identical to the processing of tissues for angina. The number of treatments depends on the severity of the symptoms of the disease. As a rule, the duration of therapy does not exceed 5 days, but positive dynamics begins to be traced on the 2nd day. However, treatment must be completed so that the disease does not return.

In the absence of the desired effect for several days, it makes no sense to continue such treatment and it is better to consult a doctor to correct the methods of therapy.

Stomatitis

One of the side effects of sore throat is the occurrence of inflammation of the oral cavity of an infectious nature. The most common cause of stomatitis is the presence of open wounds in the mouth, into which the pathogenic flora penetrates. Timely treatment of the onset of the disease prevents damage to other areas of the oral mucosa.

The medicinal substance in this case is used in the form of a solution up to 4 times a day. The irrigation fluid should be low in concentration so as not to burn the tissue.

Those who constantly suffer from this problem are recommended:

• carry out hardening and cleaning procedures;
• Healthy food;
• take vitamin complexes periodically in courses;
• avoid stressful situations;
• walk in the fresh air every day.

Chronic tonsillitis

Iodinol for gargling is indicated for chronic tonsillitis. The solution for treatment can be prepared independently, given that the water must be warm. At 1 st. liquid is added 7-10 drops of the medicine. Having typed an antiseptic into a syringe without a needle, its sharp end is inserted into the throat, trying to get closer to the tonsils. The liquid is not injected immediately, but gradually.

The lacunae of the tonsils, moving relative to each other, push the pathogenic mucus out. The patient spits it into a sink or prepared container. It is inconvenient to do this yourself, so if there is no one to help, it is better to do the procedure in a polyclinic under the supervision of a doctor.

These manipulations should be done in courses - in each of 4-5 procedures. The frequency of repetition is 2-3 times a year. So you can get a lasting positive result, preventing the possibility of exacerbations.

Such treatment is not recommended in cases where there is:

• thyroid problems;
• allergy to iodine and drug components;
• during pregnancy, especially in the first trimesters;
• when breastfeeding;
• if the child is under 5 years old and cannot control the swallowing of the medicine.

With uncontrolled use of the drug, the following may appear:

• dryness in the larynx;
• increased saliva production;
• allergy;
• a burn of the esophagus when a too concentrated drug enters the patient's body.

Also, with tonsillitis, you can replace Iodinol with the following means:

• Betadine - based on povidone iodine. It is used for rinsing and external treatment. Let's say from the age of 1 month;
• Geksoral - based on hexetidine;
• Yoksom - based on povidone iodine and allatoin.

These funds are dispensed without a prescription, but their use without specialist advice is not recommended.

Drug interactions

When combining or simultaneously using Iodinol with other drugs, the result may be ambiguous.

For example:

• when mixed with substances containing ammonia (hydrogen peroxide, white mercury or separate essential oils), explosive compounds are obtained, which is unacceptable for treatment;
• the simultaneous use of Iodinol with alkaline antiseptics is not recommended;
• reduces the effectiveness of the drug contact with wounds that produce pus and blood.
