Medications for stomatitis

Since the etiology of the inflammatory process with ulceration has not yet been clarified, there is no universal cure for stomatitis, however, modern dentistry uses quite successful therapeutic complexes that help neutralize foci of inflammation and transfer stomatitis into a stable, long-term remission.

Three main directions are considered the most effective:

1. Local anesthetic and antiseptic treatment.
2. Oral treatment that helps eliminate the cause of a particular type of stomatitis.
3. The latest laser technique that quickly and reliably treats stomatitis.

When determining infectious, bacterial pathogens of inflammation of the oral cavity, antibiotics are prescribed. The medicine for stomatitis is the following antibacterial drugs:

• Lincomycin.
• Ampiox.
• Amoxicillin.
• Penicillin.
• Gentamicin.
• Kanamycin.
• Ofloxacin.
• Doxycycline.

The antibiotic is selected in accordance with the identified pathogen, age and condition of the patient. At the same time, probiotics are prescribed to maintain the microflora of the digestive tract, vitamin preparations, and possibly antihistamines to prevent allergic reactions. When determining the viral nature of stomatitis, most often it is herpes, antiviral drugs are prescribed:

• Acyclovir.
• Zovirax.
• Immunal.
• Anaferon.

To activate the immune system, it is recommended to take B vitamins, vitamin complexes containing beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, and folic acid.

Candidal stomatitis is treated with the following medications:

• Levorin.
• Fluconazole.
• Nystatin.
• Decamine.
• Clotrimazole.

A local remedy for stomatitis is an antiseptic solution, which is available in a variety of mouthwashes:

• Hydrogen peroxide solution.
• Furacilin solution.
• Miramistin.
• Chlorhexidine.
• Spray Tantum Verde.
• Chamomile decoction.

• Calendula decoction.
• Vagotyl.
• Rotokan.
• Hexoral.
• Oracept spray.
• Stomatophyte.
• Galavit.
• Malavit.

Local treatment of inflammations of the oral cavity, as well as anesthesia, involves the use of gels, pastes and ointments, they are selected depending on the type of stomatitis:

• Oxolinic ointment.
• Viferon (ointment).
• Acyclovir.
• Lidochlor gel.
• Applications with lidocaine.

Medicines for stomatitis

Today, there are many drugs for the treatment of stomatitis, but it should be recognized that it is rarely possible to quickly cure this type of oral inflammation, only in the case of timely diagnosis and accurate determination of the root cause. Drugs for stomatitis are aimed, first of all, at neutralizing pain, the second task of treatment is to eliminate the etiological factor, which is sometimes very difficult to find, so the course of therapy, as a rule, includes the prescription of drugs from various groups. The initial stage of bacterial inflammation can often be removed by regular rinsing for a week, sometimes simply by replacing the toothpaste that does not contain SLS (sodium lauric sulfate). More complex cases require long-term treatment, which includes the following drugs for stomatitis:

1. Anesthetics, painkillers, including antipyretics.
2. Antiseptic (antibacterial) drugs.
3. Antiviral agents.
4. Antifungal drugs.
5. Antihistamines.
6. Stimulators of tissue regeneration of the mucous membrane.
7. General tonics, immunomodulators.

In addition, medications can be divided according to age; not all medications for adults may be suitable for treatment of children.

Anesthetics, painkillers that reduce pain, but are not able to cure aphthae, ulcers. As a rule, such drugs protect open wound areas from irritants, thereby reducing the risk of additional trauma and increased pain. Together with anesthetics, it is recommended to use disinfectants for additional disinfection of the oral cavity. Pain relief is carried out with the following drugs:

• Lidocaine.
• Trimecaine.
• Kamistad.
• Anesthesin.
• Benzocaine.
• Holisal.
• Decatylene.

Acute forms of stomatitis are often accompanied by an increase in temperature; in such cases, antipyretic drugs are indicated:

• Medicines containing paracetamol.
• Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

Antibacterial agents are aimed at eliminating the causative agents of inflammation, so the following drugs can be prescribed both in tablet form and in the form of injections, sprays, solutions:

• Chlorhexidine bigluconate.
• Ofloxacin.
• Metronidazole.
• Amoxicillin.
• Biseptol.
• Lincomycin.
• Gentamicin.

Oral cavity disinfection is carried out using the following means:

• A weak solution of potassium permanganate (manganese) is currently used extremely rarely.
• Hydrogen peroxide solution.
• Miramistin.
• Hexoral.
• Polycresulene.
• Sanguiritrin.
• Stomatophyte.

Herpetic stomatitis is treated with the following remedies:

• Tebrovnaya ointment for application.
• Oxolivine ointment.
• Viferon ointment.
• Bonafthon ointment.
• Acyclovir.
• Cycloferon.
• Zovirax.

Oral thrush or candidal stomatitis requires the following antifungal medications:

• Nystatin.
• Levorin.
• Amphotericin.
• Fundison.
• Candide.

To prevent swelling of the mucous membrane, possible allergic reactions, and also for stomatitis of allergic etiology, antihistamines are prescribed:

• Tavegil.
• Cetirizine.
• Ketotifen.
• Cromones.

Medicines for stomatitis that promote healing of wound surfaces:

• Solcoseryl (dental paste).
• Rosehip oil.
• Rose oil.
• Sea buckthorn oil.
• Propolis.
• Vinylin.
• Oily form of vitamin A.

Medicines for the treatment of stomatitis should be selected taking into account possible long-term use, so they should be as safe as possible and have minimal possible complications.

Pain reliever for stomatitis

Stomatitis is almost always accompanied by pain, which is provoked by the formed aphthae and ulcers. The pain symptom increases when the aphthous blisters have already formed and begin to open. Such symptoms are not just uncomfortable, they significantly reduce the patient's quality of life, interfere with eating, provoke an increase in body temperature, as a result of which the general health deteriorates. Small children suffer especially badly, so a painkiller for stomatitis is probably the first remedy that a doctor prescribes.

Oral anesthetics are most often available in the form of ointments, gels, and less often sprays. Local application anesthesia is effective if the drug is used in the form of a gel. The gel is well and quickly absorbed into the mucous membrane, penetrates into the deep layers of tissue, reduces its sensitivity, affecting the nerve receptors. Special lozenges or lozenges, aerosols that are sprayed in the area of inflammation are also effective. Many drugs that act as a pain reliever for stomatitis contain lidocaine, such as Benzocaine, Trimecaine, Lidocaine. Also helps to reduce pain, treating inflamed areas with Kalanchoe juice, but this remedy requires long-term use and is not able to quickly relieve the pain symptom.

Among the most effective means for local anesthesia are the following drugs:

1. Tablet form of hexoral. Hexoral contains benzocaine and chlorhexidine, thus combining analgesic and antimicrobial action. Its only drawback is contraindications for use in the treatment of children under 4 years of age. The tablets dissolve in the following dosage - adults up to 6 times a day, children from 4 to 12 years old - 4 tablets a day.
2. Hexoral is also available as an aerosol, which is effective in the treatment and pain relief of bacterial stomatitis. Oral irrigation is performed three times a day.
3. The combined remedy Stopangin is an effective painkiller and antibacterial drug. Stopangin contains tyrothricin and benzocaine, the tablets are used in the treatment of adult patients and children over 6 years old. Dosage - dissolution of 1 tablet every 3 hours, the course is no more than 5 days.
4. Stopangin spray can be used as an anesthetic and antimicrobial agent for a longer period of time – up to 7 days. Oral irrigation is performed at least 4 times a day.
5. Kamistad gel. This preparation is applied topically to inflamed areas. The gel consists of lidocaine and chamomile extract, the gel application procedure should be carried out three times a day for 5-7 days.
6. Lidocaine Asept aerosol. The product is sprayed into the oral cavity twice a day. The drug has a feature common to all aerosol forms - the can must be shaken and when spraying, held strictly in a vertical position relative to the oral cavity.
7. Instillagel is a drug that effectively relieves pain in inflamed areas of the oral cavity and also reduces swelling. It contains chlorhexidine and lidocaine.
8. Lidochlor gel - the drug acts in a few minutes, relieving pain. The gel is effective for bacterial and viral stomatitis outside the acute stage.
9. Holisal gel is a popular anesthetic and antibacterial drug that is well accepted by the body. The gel not only adheres to the mucous membrane, but is also able to partially penetrate into the deep layers of tissue, simultaneously creating a protective film and providing an antimicrobial internal effect.

Relief of the pain symptom in the treatment of stomatitis is, of course, an important stage, but it cannot be considered the only therapeutic action. Treatment should be continued until the entire symptom complex is completely eliminated and, most importantly, until the main cause of the inflammatory process is neutralized.

Spray for stomatitis

Spray as a medicinal form is considered more effective than its predecessor - aerosol. Why is spray effective for stomatitis?

• The spray form provides a rapid therapeutic result, which is almost as fast as intravenous administration of the drug.
• The dispersed formula of the drug helps to increase the activity of the active substance, therefore, the result can be achieved with a lower dosage.
• The small particle size of the drug ensures rapid penetration of the drug into the mucous membrane and hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity.
• The spray form is convenient because it allows you to adjust the dosage, and the hermetic seal of the can guarantees complete antiseptic safety, unlike gel forms or ointments.

How to choose a spray for stomatitis? The medicine should be prescribed by a doctor, since the spray can be both an anesthetic and have only an anti-inflammatory effect. Among the most effective drugs are the following:

• Givalex, which has three active actions at once - antifungal, antimicrobial and enveloping. Chlorobutanol provides anesthesia, choline salicylate relieves inflammation, thus providing a complex effect on the oral mucosa. Givalex spray is used in the treatment of stomatitis in adults and children over 2.5 years old.
• Isatis spray is a preparation made from natural plant materials. It contains oregano, tea tree essential oil (antimycotic effect), violet herb, arnebia root, dandelion, burdock, woad leaves. The spray has an antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal effect, promotes accelerated epithelialization of wounds, and has a hemostatic effect. In addition to treating stomatitis, Isatis is used in therapeutic complexes for gingivitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis. As a phytocomplex, it is indicated for the treatment of many inflammatory, infectious processes in the oral cavity, both in adults and in children over 2 years old.
• Spray Tantum Verde is a form of the main active ingredient of the patented drug Tantum. The spray contains benzydamine hydrochloride, which is an active anti-inflammatory substance belonging to the indazoles category. Local irrigation of the mouth with spray Tantum Verde provides rapid saturation of the mucous tissues with medicinal ingredients that help stabilize the cell membranes of mast cells and neutralize the activity of sensory receptors. Thus, the spray has an analgesic effect and simultaneously relieves the severity of the inflammatory process, swelling of the oral cavity.
• Iodine-containing spray - Lugol, the most famous of all the listed drugs. The composition of the drug includes potassium iodide and glycerol. Spray form of Lugol is a relatively new type of medicine that has been helping in the antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity for many decades. Lugol spray is used from 4 to 6 times a day in the treatment of stomatitis in adults and children over 5 years old.
• Ingalipt is a form of soluble sulfonamides that provide rapid antimicrobial action. Ingalipt is most appropriate for the aphthous form of stomatitis. The spray contains peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, sulfonamides, and thymol. Oral irrigation is performed three times a day for at least 5 days in a row.
• Chlorophyllipt spray is a bactericidal and wound-healing agent consisting of a mixture of chlorophylls obtained from the leaves and branches of eucalyptus. Chlorophyllipt is effective in the treatment of bacterial stomatitis. With regular use of the spray twice a day, a reduction in symptoms is noted after just one day.
• Propolis in the form of a spray is considered a natural preparation with an antiseptic effect. In addition, Propolis is an active biostimulator of local immune defense. The only downside of the drug is a possible allergic reaction in those patients who react to bee products •
• Proposol spray, in addition to its anti-inflammatory effect, promotes antioxidant protection and helps rapid regeneration of oral tissues

Obviously, it is impossible to list all the different types of sprays for stomatitis within the framework of this article. In addition, such a dosage form cannot be considered an absolutely safe drug; the spray should be selected by a doctor in accordance with the type of stomatitis and the severity of symptoms.

Tantum verde for stomatitis

Tantum Verde is an effective anti-inflammatory drug based on benzydamine hydrochloride. Benzydamine hydrochloride, in turn, is a non-hormonal, anti-inflammatory substance similar in action and chemical composition to indazole. Tantum Verde counteracts the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, and also helps strengthen the cellular and vascular barrier. As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Tantum Verde can be used for stomatitis in the treatment of adult patients and children aged 12 years and older. The drug has convenient forms of release - tablets, spray, solution.

How to use Tantum Verde for inflammatory processes in the oral cavity?

• The tablets are recommended to be dissolved at least 3 times a day.
• Locally, Tantum Verde is effective for stomatitis as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory irrigation. A tablespoon of solution every 3 hours. Rinsing should be done for 2-3 minutes.
• The spray is used 6 to 12 times a day, 4-8 doses (presses), depending on the type of stomatitis and the patient's age. For children, irrigation is carried out with caution, no more than 4 doses per procedure (calculated as follows - 1 spray for every 4 kg of the child's body weight).
• Tantum Verde may cause a feeling of dryness, burning if overdosed or used for too long. If the patient complains of discomfort, the symptoms of the disease do not subside, the drug should be discontinued.

In general, the drug is well tolerated by all age categories of patients, side effects are extremely rare. In addition to neutralizing inflammation, Tantum Verde is able to provide a rapid analgesic effect, which is perhaps the most important thing for a patient with stomatitis in the first days.

Bioparox for stomatitis

Bioparox is an inhalation form of an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial agent that helps treat both ENT pathologies and many dental diseases. Bioparox contains fusafungin, an active polypeptide antibiotic used in the treatment of inflammatory processes of infectious etiology. Fusafungin is obtained from a weakened culture of the fungus Fusarium lateritium, thus, the drug is very effective in the treatment of candidal stomatitis. Bioparox for stomatitis of fungal etiology is perfectly combined with other drugs, without reducing their activity. In addition, the active substance is not absorbed into the bloodstream, which makes it possible to use Bioparox in the treatment of pregnant women and small children aged 2.5 years. The only negative aspect of the drug can be considered the development of dryness of the mucous membrane with long-term course use, but this is not a categorical contraindication to the termination of complex treatment of stomatitis. Bioparox effectively affects the group of streptococci, staphylococci, but is most active against mycoplasma and Candida. The bacteriostatic effect of the drug is combined with an anti-inflammatory function, in addition, irrigation of the oral cavity with Bioparox reduces swelling and hyperemia of the mucous membrane.

How is Bioparox used for stomatitis? Inhalation procedures should be carried out only as prescribed by a doctor, if the drug is recommended, then it is very easy to use. A special nozzle - a sprayer is put on the canister, the canister must be held strictly vertically in relation to the oral cavity. This rule is the same for all aerosol forms of drugs. It is desirable that the patient takes a deep breath during irrigation of the cavity, thus creating conditions for treating the oral cavity in all areas, even hard-to-reach ones, including the oropharynx. This technique helps to stop the spread of infection and promotes maximum antimicrobial effect. Regular use of Bioparox can reduce the severity of symptoms on the second day, and stop the inflammatory process as a whole in a week, especially if stomatitis is caused by a fungal infection.

Inhalipt for stomatitis

Ingalipt is an antiseptic in aerosol form.

Composition of Ingalipt:

• 0.75 grams of liquid norsulfazole.
• 0.75 grams of liquid streptocide.
• 0.015 grams of thymol.
• 0.015 grams of peppermint oil.
• 0.015 grams of eucalyptus oil.
• 1.8 milliliters of ethyl alcohol.
• 2.1 grams of glycerin.
• 1.5 grams of sucrose.
• ,0.8 - 0.9 g of Tween.
• distilled water.
• nitrogen gas.

Ingalipt is effective for stomatitis due to the presence of synthetic antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory components - norsulfazole and streptocide. These substances destroy bacterial flora in the oral cavity, stopping the inflammatory process. The menthol component (mint) has a moderate anesthetic effect, eucalyptus promotes tissue epithelialization, thymol acts as an antiseptic.

How is Ingalipt used for stomatitis?

• Frequency: 3-5 times a day.
• Dose: 1-2 sprays.
• Keep the contents of the preparation in the oral cavity for 5 minutes.

Contraindications:

• .Hypersensitivity to essential oils.
• Sensitivity to sulfonamides.

In the treatment of stomatitis in children, Ingalipt can be used from the age of three in the absence of allergic reactions to plant components.

Lugol's solution for stomatitis

Modern children are unlikely to be familiar with the specific taste of Lugol, but the older generation remembers it well, especially those who often suffered from tonsillitis. It turns out that Lugol is no less useful for stomatitis.

Lugol's solution contains the following components:

• Iodine.
• Potassium iodide.
• Glycerol.
• Distilled water.

The iodine-containing drug was named after its creator, the French doctor Jean Lugol, who successfully treated tuberculosis patients with this drug at the beginning of the 19th century.

The external antiseptic effect of Lugol's solution is due to its pharmacological properties. Iodine molecules are capable of binding and coagulating protein compounds of bacteria, which subsequently leads to the death of microorganisms. In addition, high concentrations of iodine have a pronounced irritating and cauterizing effect, which is also explained by the property of iodine to bind with tissue proteins, precipitating them.

Lugol's solution for stomatitis not only disinfects the inflamed areas of the oral cavity, but also affects the outer epithelial layer in such a way that it peels off and is removed along with bacteria when rinsing. Lugol's solution should be used to treat stomatitis as prescribed by a doctor, as with all iodine-containing drugs, it has a number of contraindications and features.

1. Dry, severely ulcerated oral cavity should not be treated. Before each use of Lugol's solution, the mouth should be rinsed and moistened with a special solution.
2. Lugol's solution is not prescribed to pregnant women or during lactation.
3. Lugol's solution is used with caution in the treatment of patients with nephropathologies. Even external application promotes the penetration of iodine into the kidneys.
4. It is strictly forbidden to use Lugol's solution if you are allergic to iodine.
5. Lugol's solution is not used to treat children under 5 years of age.
6. The oral cavity containing purulent ulcers, aphthae is not subject to treatment with Lugol's solution. The presence of lipid, purulent discharge neutralizes the antiseptic activity of the drug.
7. Lugol's solution cannot be combined with rinsing with solutions containing essential oils, since iodine is incompatible with them. Lugol's solution also cannot be combined with hydrogen peroxide.

How is Lugol's solution used in the treatment of stomatitis?

A sterile gauze or cotton swab is moistened in the preparation and the agent is applied to the ulcerated areas of the oral cavity. The procedure is repeated 3 to 6 times a day for 5-7 days. Angular stomatitis (angular stomatitis) may require the application of Lugol's solution at night in the form of applications. In general, the course of treatment with Lugol's solution lasts no more than 10 days; if the use of the drug is ineffective, it is discontinued and another, more effective remedy is prescribed.

Zelenka for stomatitis

Treatment of stomatitis with brilliant green can be considered an anachronism in our time, since there are many other, more effective and simple ways to relieve the symptoms of inflammation and neutralize its foci.

Many people believe that brilliant green for stomatitis is a method that has been tested for decades, however, this drug not only helps to cauterize aphthae and ulcers, but also dries out the oral cavity. In addition to the inevitable staining of the patient's mucous membrane and the hands of the person performing the procedure, the process of using brilliant green in the presence of convenient aerosols, gels, ointments and solutions looks, at the very least, extravagant. Nevertheless, we consider it necessary to give an example of using brilliant green, simply for objective and complete coverage of information on the treatment of stomatitis.

A 1% solution of brilliant green is used to cauterize aphthae, i.e. a simple chemical substance that can dry out the inflammation site. The procedure is carried out using a cotton swab or cotton ear stick, which is dipped in brilliant green, and then the ulcerated areas are treated with it. After applying the product, the patient should not close his mouth for 2-3 minutes so that the drug really works. The fact is that, in addition to all its disadvantages, brilliant green is quickly washed off by secreted saliva, so the patient will have to wait until it is absorbed and dries out the aphthae. Brilliant green is used no more than 3 times a day for 3-5 days.

Despite its simplicity and availability, brilliant green cannot be considered an effective remedy for stomatitis. Agree that green-colored teeth, the risk of overdrying the oral cavity, considering the need to sit with an open mouth waiting for the drug to take effect, together neutralize all the benefits of using brilliant green. In addition, brilliant green, one way or another, cannot be a mono-method in treating inflammation, you will still have to use other drugs, so it will be better if this “emerald green” remedy remains as a memory of the development of therapeutic methods for getting rid of stomatitis.

Fukortsin for stomatitis

The combined drug fucorcin consists of the following active components:

• Phenol.
• Boric acid.
• Resorcinol.
• Acetone.
• Magenta.
• Alcohol.
• Distilled water.

Fukortsin for stomatitis can have several effects at once - drying, antimicrobial and fungicidal (antifungal), so it is used for various types of aphthae - candidal, infectious. However, at present, the drug is rarely used, for the following reasons:

• The arsenal of dental medicines has expanded significantly; new, more effective and safer drugs have appeared.
• Fukortsin has a characteristic poisonous crimson color, which is very difficult to wash off and gives a sick person a not very aesthetic appearance.
• The drug has a specific phenol smell, which not all patients can tolerate; children react to it especially strongly.
• Fukortsin is not used for large ulcers and, in principle, is not used to treat large areas of skin or mucous membranes due to the phenol it contains.
• It is not recommended to use the drug during pregnancy and lactation.
• Fucorcin should be used with caution for stomatitis in children under 1.5 years of age.

How to use fucorcin in the treatment of stomatitis? In general, Castellani liquid, also called fucorcin, is intended for the treatment of pustules, cuts, erosions and wounds, the treatment of stomatitis with this remedy is a kind of find for doctors who paid attention to the effectiveness of the drug in terms of antimicrobial and antimycotic action. The oral cavity is considered a very vulnerable area in contrast to the outer skin, so fucorcin is used in the form of point applications. Before applying the product to the ulcer, aphthae, they need to be prepared - remove the crusts with a cotton swab or tampon soaked in an oil solution. This ensures direct access to the wound for the active components of fucorcin. Next, the drug is applied pointwise to the treated ulcers within the erosive formation, without affecting the surrounding tissues of the mucous membrane. Fucorcin applications are made no more than 5 times a day, after treating the ulcers, after 1.5-2 hours, the oral cavity should be thoroughly rinsed or irrigated to avoid overdrying. The product is most often used for 3-5 days, a long course of treatment with this drug is not provided.

In general, Castellani's liquid can be recommended as a drug that should be in every family's medicine cabinet. Fukortsin can become the first irreplaceable assistant when the initial signs of stomatitis appear, as well as in the treatment of other wound surfaces.

Furacilin for stomatitis

Nitrofural (Nitrofural), better known to everyone as furacilin, is an antiseptic agent produced in the following forms:

• Alcohol solution.
• Ointment.
• Tablets for solution preparation.
• Aerosol.

In addition, furacilin is included in many antimicrobial agents as an active component, effective against various pathogenic microorganisms.

Furacilin is used for stomatitis as a mouthwash, less often for irrigation. Procedures are considered especially effective for inflammation of the mucous membrane caused by a mechanical factor - irritation from a chipped tooth, wearing uncomfortable dentures.

How to prepare the solution yourself?

Dissolve 2 furacilin tablets in a glass of boiled warm water, it is most convenient to crush them first. The solution should be transparent, that is, furacilin should be completely dissolved. Rinse with the prepared product 4-6 times a day, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid is warm, so it is impractical to prepare a large amount of solution, it is better if it is fresh each time. The course of treatment can be quite long, since furacilin for stomatitis is used as an auxiliary means for preparing the oral cavity for the application of more active agents, in addition, nitrofural is safe and does not cause complications.

Chlorophyllipt for stomatitis

Despite the fact that many herbal preparations are considered less active than their chemical "brothers", chlorophyllipt can rightfully be called one of the most effective antibacterial agents. It is based on Eucalypti foliorum extract - eucalyptus extract. Chlorophylliptum is available in the form of an oil solution. 1 milliliter of the product contains 20 milligrams of thick chlorophyll extract obtained from eucalyptus leaves. The pharmacological activity of eucalyptus is due to the composition of its essential oil:

• Terpenes.
• Cineoles.
• Pinens.
• Aldehydes.
• Organic acids.
• Bitterness.
• Resins.
• Flavonoids.
• Tanning components.

Chlorophyllipt is used for stomatitis as an antibacterial drug capable of simultaneously providing bactericidal and bacteriostatic action. The drug has a pronounced antibacterial effect, but unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, it is effective only against coccal flora, that is, it is aimed at destroying, first of all, staphylococci. This property is used in the treatment of dental diseases, especially if the identified staphylococcal pathogen is resistant to the action of the penicillin group. In addition, the drug increases the oxygen content in tissue cells, has a visible detoxifying effect, and increases the activity of local immune protection. Chlorophyllipt for stomatitis is used as a means for antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity, as well as for lubrication and applications to ulcerated areas, aphthae. Convenient forms of release of the drug allow it to be used both as a spray and in the form of lozenges. In the treatment of stomatitis, a spray is much more convenient and effective, since irrigation helps to treat the entire oral cavity, thus disinfecting even isolated, hard-to-reach areas. Local applications with chlorophyllipt should be carried out only with a solution, a pure drug can cause a burn of the mucous membrane. A 1% solution of the drug is diluted with water in a ratio of 1/5, an ampoule of novocaine can be added to the resulting mixture, this will provide additional pain relief when treating aphthae.

The course of application of chlorophyllipt for the treatment of stomatitis is no more than 3 days, provided that the procedures are carried out at least three times a day. If the symptoms do not disappear, aphthae continue to appear and open, the drug should be discontinued and another treatment regimen should be chosen.

Methylene blue for stomatitis

Methylene blue is an antiseptic drug known to everyone since childhood. Nowadays, it is used so rarely that it is quite difficult to buy it in a pharmacy. This situation can be explained by the fact that methylene blue is no longer the only available external medicine against infection; methylene blue for stomatitis is, as doctors say, a thing of the past. Nevertheless, the drug is worthy of attention at least because for many decades it has been ridding people of microbial infections, candidiasis, was affordable, and could be found in almost every home medicine cabinet along with iodine and brilliant green.

The mechanism of the effect of methylene blue on tissues is due to its property to produce compounds capable of binding bacterial cell proteins. Methylene blue also comes into "contact" with mucopolysaccharides, which leads to the rapid death of pathogenic microorganisms. Methylene blue is absolutely safe and can be used for patients of all age groups, including in the treatment of small children. The drug does not overcome skin barriers and is not absorbed into the blood, so methylene blue was one of the most effective remedies for stomatitis 20 years ago.

How was methylene blue used to treat oral inflammation?

• A cotton swab or pad is soaked in a solution of methylene blue, and the preparation is applied to aphthae and ulcers in the form of point applications.
• Adults should treat erosive areas at least 6 times a day, often the prescription requires treating aphthae up to 15 times a day.
• Children are advised to use blueing as a cauterizing antiseptic 3 to 6 times a day.

As a rule, after 2-3 days the aphthae become covered with a crust and heal.

There is another way to use blueing for inflammatory processes in the oral cavity:

• Purchase water-based methylene blue.
• Lubricate the aphthae with methylene blue every 2 hours, using point cauterization.
• After treatment with blueing, lubricate the aphthae with stomatidin.
• An hour after taking Stomatidin, rinse your mouth and apply Vinylin to the aphthae.

Methylene blue for stomatitis

Methylene blue for stomatitis is a drug that is effective against oral thrush. Acting as an antiseptic on Candida fungi, methylene blue prevents their spread and promotes epithelialization of affected areas of the mucous membrane.

Currently, methylene blue is used extremely rarely, not only for stomatitis, but also for disinfecting wounds, scratches, erosions. This is due to the huge arsenal of new generation medications that are more convenient to use, but most importantly, have a complex effect on many factors that provoke inflammatory processes.

Methylene blue was actually used to treat stomatitis decades ago, when it was used to cauterize aphthae and ulcers. Both aqueous and alcoholic solutions of methylene blue were used in the treatment. Witnesses of that time claim that methylene blue cured a patient of stomatitis in literally 2-3 days. However, despite all its positive characteristics, methylene blue is still quite inconvenient to apply (it stains the mucous membrane and skin), and the solution has a very limited shelf life. Considering that methylene blue is most effective against candidiasis, but is ineffective against viruses and many groups of bacteria, it becomes obvious that it is time for methylene blue to become a medicinal rarity and “retire”.

Malavit for stomatitis

Recently, there has been a trend that can be described as follows: "there is no prophet in his own country." We are talking about preparations made from raw materials that grow far from the place of residence of patients, sick people. The principle of trust and close attention to such products is simple - the further the location of the plant active substance, the more valuable its properties. Popular is everything that is designated by the words - Tibetan, Indian, Siberian, Chinese, and recently the Altai Mountains have joined these regions.

Malavit is considered a naturopathic preventive agent that helps reduce the intensity of inflammatory processes. The key word in the definition of the drug is "preventive". Deliberately focusing the attention of readers on this, the author of these lines pursues one goal - one should not rely and place hopes on the fact that a herbal complex drug will quickly and reliably cure inflammation of the oral cavity. Malavit for stomatitis can be an additional agent included in the therapeutic complex.

The creators of Malavit describe it as a multifunctional drug, although the synopsis contains some contradictions:

• The product is called hygienic.
• Malavit is described as a natural prophylactic drug.
• The properties that Malavit has are so numerous that they provoke the question – which of them is really the main one: deodorizing, rejuvenating, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, bactericidal, antihistamine, reflex, regenerating, anesthetic, anti-edematous effects. From the point of view of biochemistry, such a combination is either a truly unique discovery worthy of worldwide recognition, or simply, to put it mildly, an exaggeration of the effectiveness of the drug.

Malavit for stomatitis can indeed be used as a preventive measure or for treating the oral cavity before and after the main procedures (application of gel, ointment, cauterizing applications).

Malavit contains the following ingredients (as a rule, the most active one is listed first):

• Purified magnetized water.
• Glycerol.
• Food grade lactic acid.
• Copper (carbonate, sulfate).
• Gum.
• Malachite, silver.
• Cedar resin.
• Birch buds.
• Oak bark.
• Mumiyo.
• Incense.
• Chaga.
• Extracts of elecampane, dandelion, calendula, yarrow, mint, thyme, chamomile, coltsfoot, calamus, wild rosemary, peony, sage, immortelle, eucalyptus, echinacea, celandine, plantain.
• Homeococktail.

Malavit is used for stomatitis as a rinse or application lotion.

Rinsing – 10 drops diluted in a glass of water, rinse your mouth 2-6 times a day.

Applications - cotton swabs are soaked in a solution of Malavit in glycerin (1/1). The procedure is carried out 3 times a day.

In short, it is not only possible to use Malavit, but it is also useful, but you should not rely on its versatility and rapid action.

Streptocide for stomatitis

An active sulfanilamide, streptocide has a bacteriostatic property. Streptocide affects streptococci, gonococci, pneumococci and other coccal microorganisms. The drug is prescribed in tablet form internally, streptocide is also used for stomatitis as an external antiseptic.

Recipes for using streptocide in the treatment of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity:

1. 1 tablet of streptocide is dissolved in a glass of warm boiled water. The tablet should be completely dissolved, preferably crushed beforehand. Rinsing should be done for 5-7 days 3-4 times a day.
2. Streptocide can be prescribed internally, especially in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, this is rarely practiced at present, since doctors have many other, more effective, broad-spectrum drugs in their arsenal.
3. Streptocide is used as an ingredient for a special dental chatterbox:
   • 1 ampoule of 0.25% novocaine.
   • Furacilin tablet.
   • Streptocide tablet.
   • Tetracycline tablet.

Furacilin is poured with a glass of hot boiled water, brought to a boil, pre-crushed tablets of tetracycline and streptocide are poured into a glass container. Dissolved novocaine and dissolved furacilin are poured there. Everything is thoroughly mixed, or rather shaken. Aphthae, ulcers are lubricated with the chatterbox at least six times a day.

• Grind a streptocide tablet, apply the powder to a small tampon, which is placed on ulcers, aphthae. The tampon must be kept in the mouth for at least 10 minutes.

It is obvious that streptocide is not the best medicine for stomatitis, especially in treating children, its bitter taste sometimes makes such procedures impossible. Today the drug continues to be used, but very rarely, except in the form of a chatterbox, in addition, streptocide can cause unwanted side effects and, in case of overdose, has a negative effect on the hematopoietic system.

Imudon for stomatitis

Imudon is a lysate of a group of bacteria. The polyvalent antigen preparation consists of the following inactive microorganisms in dry lyophilic form:

• Enterococcus faecalis.
• Lactobacillus acidophilus.
• Enterococcus faecium.
• Klebsiella pneumoniae.
• Lactobacillus helveticum.
• Fusobacterium nucleatum.
• Lactobacillus lactis.
• Staphylococcus aureus.
• Candida albicans.
• Streptococcus pyogenes A.
• Streptococcus sanguis.
• Lactobacillus fermentum.
• Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum.

As can be seen from the composition of Imudon for stomatitis, it is an effective remedy against the candidal form of inflammation, as well as against the bacterial inflammatory process.

The drug is indicated for activating local immune protection of the oral cavity, as it increases the production of lysozyme as an effective antibacterial enzyme. In addition, Imudon helps to increase the level of immunoglobulins A in saliva, which is an effective way to prevent relapses of stomatitis.

Administration regimen and dosage examples (the exact dose is determined by the doctor):

1. Acute stomatitis. Adults and adolescents over 14 years old – 6 to 8 tablets per day. The course of treatment is 7-10 days.
2. Prevention of stomatitis. Adults and children over 14 years old – 6 tablets per day every 2 hours, course – 21 days. Prevention is carried out every six months.
3. Imudon for acute stomatitis. Children from 3 to 14-15 years old – 4-6 tablets per day. Course – 7-10 days.
4. Prevention of inflammatory process in the oral cavity. Children from 3 to 14 years old – 4-6 tablets per day for 21 days.

Overdose of Imudon may cause side effects:

• Nausea.
• Dyspepsia.
• Skin rashes.
• Hives.

It should be noted that Imudon very rarely has a negative effect, but to avoid risk, the drug is not used to treat children under 3 years of age, and it is also contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.

In the process of treating stomatitis with Imudon, you should follow the rule - rinsing the mouth is carried out an hour after the tablet has dissolved. In addition, a diet is important, which involves maximum restriction of salt in the menu, this is due to the presence of a fairly large amount of sodium included in Imudon.

In general, as an immunomodulator, Imudon has a beneficial effect on local immunity; the drug has no analogues, so its effectiveness is not only justified, but also confirmed by numerous clinical and statistical data.

Rinsing is carried out using a solution that must be prepared shortly before the procedure. The recipe is quite simple - a teaspoon of the product is diluted in a glass of boiled water, a more concentrated solution can be used next time if the first application does not cause an allergic reaction to essential oils. Application lotions with rotokan are also effective. The solution for applications is prepared in the same way as for rinsing, cotton swabs are held with tweezers, lightly pressing them to ulcers or aphthae. The procedure should be repeated 2-3 times a day for 3 to 5 days in a row. Contraindications to the use of Rotokan:

• History of allergy.

Viferon is indicated for stomatitis as an antiviral agent; the drug is not the only one in the therapeutic complex; its effect is enhanced by additional procedures - antiseptic rinses, cauterization, and taking vitamin complexes.

Interferon for stomatitis

Interferon belongs to the category of antiviral drugs, when talking about the use of interferon for stomatitis, it would be more correct to cover the list of drugs based on it:

• Laferon.
• Viferon.
• Interferon ointment.
• Aqueous solution of leukocyte interferon.
• Acyclovir or Zovirax.

Interferon for stomatitis is indicated to suppress the reproduction of the herpes virus, provided that the inflammation is diagnosed as viral. The effect of the drug prevents further spread of the infection and increases the activity of local immunity.

How is interferon used for herpetic stomatitis?

1. The interferon solution is dripped into the oral cavity at least 3 times a day, 5 drops strictly after meals. The dosage is adjusted by the attending physician depending on the age of the patient and the severity of the inflammatory process. The solution is prepared from dry interferon powder and distilled water in a ratio of 1000 U per 2 ml of water.
2. The ointment is not sold ready-made, this is due to the short shelf life of interferon, in addition, it requires special hermetically sealed storage forms. The ointment based on interferon is prepared by the extemporaneous method, it includes vinylin as a base, anesthesin as a local anesthetic. The ointment is applied to ulcers, aphthae, after pre-treating the oral cavity with rinsing. The application mode and its course duration are determined by the doctor who observes the inflammatory process in dynamics.
3. The most convenient to use ointments are Acyclovir or Zovirax. They selectively affect those areas of the mucosa that are directly infected with the herpes virus. Ointments are completely safe for healthy tissue, moreover, they improve their nutrition, have an immunostimulating and anti-relapse effect. The drug is applied to the herpetic vesicle 4-5 times a day for 5-7 days. The most effective use of antiviral ointment is in the prodromal period.
4. Laferon – 1-2 drops are dripped onto the vesicles 4-6 times a day.

It should be remembered that all interferon preparations have a short shelf life, so they must be used according to the rules specified in the instructions, but it would be more appropriate to carry out treatment actions according to the scheme prescribed by the attending physician.

Acyclovir for stomatitis

Acyclovir is an effective antiviral drug, it is used mainly in the treatment of herpes infection. Acyclovir has a moderate anesthetic effect, prevents the formation of new herpes vesicles, promotes the drying of ulcers and stimulates local immune protection.

Acyclovir is effective for stomatitis due to its pharmacological action. The drug inhibits the replication of all types of herpes viruses, including the Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus. Interacting with the DNA of the virus, it penetrates the chain, breaks it and creates an obstacle to further development of DNA. Acyclovir for stomatitis is used in the form of an ointment, tablets, as a rule, are not prescribed except for a systemic viral process.

How to use acyclovir ointment for inflammation of the oral cavity:

• The oral cavity is pre-treated with antiseptic rinses and irrigation.

Borax for stomatitis

Sodium tetraborate or borax is a salt of tetraboric acid, which is used in dentistry as a safe antiseptic with a hemostatic effect. Borax is used only externally as a drying antimicrobial drug that is not able to penetrate intact skin into the bloodstream. In addition, borax for stomatitis can be used as a bacteriostatic and fungicidal agent as an auxiliary part of the general therapeutic complex.

Borax is an alkali, so it helps to normalize the acid-base balance in the oral cavity. It is usually prescribed as a 20% solution for repeated treatment of the mucous membrane. Borax is dissolved in blueing or glycerin; it is most convenient to buy a ready-made pharmacy drug, since it is quite difficult to determine the exact amount of ingredients at home.

Borax for stomatitis can be prescribed for any type of inflammation, but it is most effective for candidal and infectious stomatitis. The method of application is simple - you need to moisten a gauze swab or a piece of sterile cotton wool in a borax solution and carefully treat the entire oral cavity from the inside. The procedure is repeated in the following mode:

• Adult patients – 4-5 times a day.
• Children under 12 years old – 3-4 times a day.

Borax is also used for stomatitis as an application, point treatment. A swab soaked in the solution is used to cauterize ulcers and aphthae, slightly holding the tissue on the erosive surface.

Sodium tetraborate for stomatitis

Sodium tetraborate is a remedy against candidal stomatitis. The drug with such an exotic name is better known as borax in glycerin. In fact, sodium tetraborate is a form of boric acid, which can be effective as an antiseptic and antifungal method. Currently, borax is used extremely rarely, sodium tetraborate for stomatitis is a therapeutic anachronism. Borax is beneficial only when applied locally to inflamed mucous membranes and skin. Through the cells of the oral cavity or skin, tetraborate is absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract, excreted through the intestines and kidneys within 7-10 days after application.

Sodium tetraborate for stomatitis can be used in the form of a 20% solution for antiseptic treatment of inflamed areas of the oral cavity, borax is also used for rinsing, less often - point cauterization of ulcers or aphthae. Treatment with tetraborate is carried out 2-3 times a day for a week, as a mono drug borax is ineffective, moreover, a long course of its use can only harm. Complications look like hyperemia of the mucous membrane, a burning sensation. Sodium tetraborate cannot be used to treat stomatitis in children, pregnant women and during lactation. Borax can be successfully replaced by more modern and convenient forms of new drugs that have a complex effect and have no side effects.

Borax in glycerin for stomatitis

Borax in glycerin is the most common form of sodium tetraborate. Borax is considered one of the simplest and at the same time effective antiseptic agents effective against oral thrush. Borax in glycerin for stomatitis of candidal etiology can be used for patients of all age groups, this is due to the safety of the drug.

Mode and methods of application of borax in glycerin:

1. Treatment of the entire oral cavity – 2-3 times a day.
2. Spot treatment of candidal aphthae – 4-6 times a day.
3. The course of treatment is from 3 to 10 days depending on the stage of the disease.

Borax has virtually no contraindications, it cannot be used to treat large ulcers and large areas of the mucous membrane or skin due to the risk of metabolic alkalosis. Redness and burning may appear in areas of the oral cavity treated with borax, but this is a completely acceptable sign indicating the effect of tetraborate on the microbial focus. In addition, some doctors do not recommend using borax in glycerin to treat children under 3 years of age due to the potential danger of swallowing the product, since the drug tends to accumulate in bone tissue and has an insecticidal effect of class IV.

Vinyline for stomatitis

Vinylin is also called Shostakovsky's balm, and indeed, this truly universal remedy was invented in the 40s of the military years of the last century by a young, talented chemist M.F. Shostakovsky. At that time, the balm was necessary to save many thousands of wounded, in our time Vinylin remains in service with doctors and continues to help in the treatment of infected wounds, promotes epithelialization of difficult-to-heal erosions.

Vinilin for stomatitis is used in the form of a solution or balm, depending on the type of inflammation. Due to its composition, the product helps to destroy bacterial foci in the shortest possible time and accelerate the regeneration of the epithelium. Vinilin is based on a unique component discovered in 1941 by Shostakovsky, polyvinox. This is a specific polyvinyl butyl ether that perfectly enters into an "alliance" with oils and organic solvents, and at the same time does not dissolve in water. Vinilin has three effects at once - antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and regenerating. The consistency of the drug may be different, depending on the form, the balm is viscous, thick, the solution is more liquid, but opaque, has a specific odor. Vinilin is applied to aphthae, ulcers 5-6 times a day, it is advisable to lubricate them at night. In addition to the fact that the balm neutralizes bacterial flora well and promotes wound healing, it has a unique property that other drugs do not have. Polyvinox helps the wound surface to be cleansed of microbial waste products, thus, the product makes it possible to reduce the frequency of antiseptic treatment, which sometimes causes painful sensations.

Vinilin has virtually no contraindications, allergic reactions to the active substance are very rare. Pregnant women, as well as nursing mothers, are prescribed the drug only if it is impossible to replace Vinilin with another drug, for children it is also better to replace Vinilin with a more gentle drug due to its specific smell.

Medicines for stomatitis, helping to eliminate inflammation, can have different forms - tablets, ointments, gels, solutions, sprays. The choice of the drug, its forms, the mode of administration and rinsing, as well as the duration of the course - this is the area of activity of the attending physician, self-medication for stomatitis is not allowed, since this disease is difficult to treat and prone to relapse.
