Stomatitis gel

Stomatitis, not complicated by temperature, intoxication process, especially in the initial stage, can be cured with the help of local applications of special gels. In this case, ointments are not so effective, since the fat base does not allow for rapid absorption of the main medicinal components into the mucous membrane. The gel form is more effective, the gel is better absorbed and its active substances penetrate well into the inflammation site, stopping it. A gel for stomatitis can be intended for anesthesia, but most often it also includes anti-inflammatory components, thus, this remedy rightfully belongs to the category of combined drugs for local use. The gel is selected by the doctor in accordance with the type of inflammation, its severity, localization of aphthae (ulcers).

Let's look at the most effective gel forms of medicines that help reduce the intensity of symptoms associated with stomatitis:

1. Stomatitis caused by a virus often manifests itself not only in the oral cavity, but also on the lips. In such cases, external agents in the form of ointments are prescribed, the internal cavity is treated with applications of an effective interferon gel - Viferon. The drug is applied to slightly dried inflamed areas, three times a day for a week. Viferon gel works well on the inflammatory process regardless of the patient's age and has no contraindications.
2. Bacterial stomatitis, antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity for any type of inflammation are well controlled by Elugel. Elugel is a chlorhexidine-based product that can be used as a medicine, as well as a local preventive drug. A wide range of bactericidal action allows using Elugel to neutralize almost all types of bacteria and fungi. The gel is applied to the damaged areas of the oral cavity 3-4 times a day, the greatest effect is achieved if the patient performs parallel rinsing with Eludil solution. It should be noted that Elugel must be absorbed into the mucous membrane and does not require rinsing, solutions are usually used 2-3 hours after applying gel applications.
3. The initial stages of stomatitis are well treated with Holisal gel, which helps to relieve inflammation and begin to neutralize it. Before applying Holisal, the oral cavity should be rinsed with a solution of Miramistin, the procedure should be repeated 4 times a day for 7-10 days. Holisal will also help to relieve the pain of the ulcers that have formed, the pain subsides literally 2-3 minutes after applying the gel, which is absorbed into the deep layers of the mucous membrane tissue.
4. After the acute symptoms have been relieved, it is necessary to help the regeneration of the mucous membrane tissues. Actovegin gel comes to the rescue, which activates the process of restoration and healing of the oral cavity.
5. Kamistad gel, which contains lidocaine and chamomile extract, has a good anesthetic effect. Kamistad is used not only as an anesthetic, but also as an antibacterial agent. By providing a local anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane, Kamistad gel is able to relieve the symptoms of stomatitis within a week and activate the healing process of the wound surface. Since the gel contains a large percentage of lidocaine, the drug is used only as directed by a doctor.
6. Herpetic stomatitis can be treated locally with Viru-Merz-Serol gel, which effectively relieves itching, pain and burning in the oral mucosa. The course of gel application is 5 days and should be stopped after the first vesicular formations appear.
7. Antiseptic gel "Instillagel" contains two active components - lidocaine and chlorhexidine. Simultaneous pain relief and antibacterial action provide fairly rapid neutralization of discomfort symptoms.
8. Metrogyl Denta contains metronidazole and chlorhexidine. This combination of antibiotic and antiseptic provides rapid relief of the first signs of inflammation in the oral cavity, however, unlike Holisal, Metrogyl Denta is not able to overcome the mucous membrane and is not absorbed into the deep layers of tissue. This gel for stomatitis is prescribed as a superficial antibacterial agent that works at the initial stage of the process.
9. Mundizal gel effectively fights inflammation and relieves pain in the oral cavity. This remedy can be used to treat stomatitis in both adults and children. The gel is able to be quickly absorbed and affect the deep layers of the mucous membrane tissue, while simultaneously being fixed on the surface of the oral cavity. Choline salicylate has an anesthetic surface effect, and cetyl chloride, which are part of Mundizal gel, has an antimicrobial effect.
10. Kalgel, which is also used during teething as a local antimicrobial and pain reliever, can help treat stomatitis in young children. Cetylpyridinium chloride has an antiseptic effect, and lidocaine relieves pain symptoms, but these components can cause an allergic reaction, so self-administration of Kalgel is undesirable.
