you must:

1. Take 1 L of pure water boiled, better - distilled.
2. Warm or cooled to +60 C.
3. Add 1 hr. l. shallow salt which must be dissolved without residue.

   

The shelf life of the solution is small, about two to 2 days if stored in a refrigerator. Container with liquid to keep closed, gain better syringe.

Inhalations with saline when coughing

The composition of complex therapy, along with the necessary medication (expectorant) includes inhalation with saline fluids.

This speeds up the healing process, as the impact of alkaline vapors:

• reduces edema;
• moisturizes;

The use of a nebuliser and nasal cannula allows the drug particles penetrate into the most distant parts of the nasopharynx. For an effective therapeutic intervention can take an inexpensive and accessible means - pharmacy saline.

This sterile saline fluid is used:

• as prophylaxis during the colds;

The compressor inhalers use sodium hydrogencarbonate not in the form of baking soda, and other similar formulations:

• Soda-buffer.

Bottled mineral water is poured into the inhaler in a pure form, without diluting with saline. To obtain a stronger effect can be bought in pharmacy sodium hydrogencarbonate form called Soda-buffer.

Liquid transparent, sterile, as it is produced for injection. Due to this, with its participation may be conducted aerosol inhalation, pre-diluted 1: 1.

Why can not you do both inhalation cough and runny nose

The structure of the nebulizer includes a number of different accessories. There are masks for adults and children. Their use helps to breathe healing vapors as much as the natural mode is usually used for very small children or critically ill adults.

For a more concentrated effect on the diseased parts of the respiratory system child coughing and rhinitis, in a nebulizer have a nasal cannula and the nozzle mouth (mouthpiece). Their use allows to direct a jet of drug directly to the place of localization of the inflammatory process.

Sharing two nozzles and can not be contraindicated. If you want to treat a runny nose and cough at the same time, it is necessary to conduct inhalation at different times, with a minimum interval of 20 minutes.
