It is necessary to treat concomitant diseases, to comply with all the recommendations of a doctor. It is important not only to attend the prescribed procedures, but also to comply with all the requirements of the house.

Drops from polyps in the nose

Polyps in the nose often use different drops. Well proven fatty, oil droplets. They provide an opportunity to soften the mucous membrane, reduce the inflammatory process, eliminate irritation. Drops can be purchased at the pharmacy, or you can cook at home on your own. From commercial preparations I use pinosol, sanorin. Drip 1-2 drops 3-4 times a day.

To prepare drops at home, it is recommended to take olive oil, or grape, apricot, peach seed oil as a base. They have a softening effect, positively affect the mucous membranes, nourish and saturate with vitamins, which significantly increases local immunity, accelerates recovery and promotes resorption of compacted tissues.

For example, a glass of olive or other base oil is boiled in a water bath for 30-40 minutes. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic and a quarter of the onions. They boil for another 3-4 minutes. Then remove from heat, give the opportunity to brew for several hours. Drip 3 drops 4 times a day.

Inhalation with polyps in the nose

Polyps are well assisted by inhalation. It is possible to carry out special physiotherapeutic procedures, for example, KUF, inhalation effects of extracts and drugs.

At home, you can carry out inhalation over the steam. For example, inhalations with the help of decoctions of herbal remedies have proved well. To prepare the broth take 3-4 tablespoons of herbs per liter of water, pour boiling water, insist for half an hour, wrapped the kettle with heat. Then the broth is poured into the pelvis. If the broth has cooled down, and steam does not go, it should be heated.

After that, bend over the pelvis, top cover the top with a towel and breathe over the steam. The duration of the procedure is 10-15 minutes. Contraindicated for people with diseases of the cardiovascular system. Also it is impossible to spend in the period of sharp exacerbations, at the raised temperature.

Herbal remedies can be used different. Remove the inflammatory process will help chamomile, calendula, mint, sage.

Also saline inhalations have proved to be good. Salt eliminates swelling, relieves inflammation. To prepare a solution for inhalation, a tablespoon of salt is added to a liter of water. You can use sea salt. In the absence of sea salt, you can prepare it yourself. To do this, mix a spoonful of salt, soda and add 2-3 drops of iodine.

A positive effect can be achieved with the use of essential oils. The most effective for polyps are coniferous oils. You can use oil of thuja, eucalyptus, juniper, fir, cypress, pine, spruce. To prepare a solution for inhalation, 1-2 drops of oil are dissolved in a liter of boiling water.

Perform inhalation should be at night. After the execution it is necessary to go to bed as quickly as possible, warmly hiding.

Nebulizer with polyps of nose

In polyps for inhalation, you can use a nebulizer. This is a special mini-device that contains a spray can with a drug, a device for spraying. In addition, the kit includes a mask for inhalation. The mask is used mainly for children.

In this form, many inhalation agents are manufactured, for example, avamis, bioropox, fliksonase. The advantage of this method is that the dosage of the drug is strictly calculated. One inhalation contains the required amount of active ingredient. It allows you to quickly remove inflammation, eliminate swelling.

Antibiotics for polyps in the nose

Antibiotics are used when polyps have appeared against the background of a bacterial infection, or if a concomitant infectious process, caused by bacteria and their toxins, develops in the body. Antibiotics should be taken after an analysis of antibiotic sensitivity. It makes it possible to isolate the microorganism, which is the causative agent of the disease, to identify it, to study the basic properties. An antibiotic agent is selected which has the most pronounced bacteriostatic effect in relation to the excretory pathogen. Its optimal dosage is selected. Only after this drug is prescribed to man.

If it is not possible to conduct such an analysis, a routine bacteriological culture can be carried out, which will make it possible to detect a microorganism or a group of microorganisms that contribute to the development of the infectious process. On the basis of this, an approximate selection of the medicinal product or group of preparations that have a bacteriostatic action with respect to this causative agent is made. It is possible to prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has moderate activity against many groups of microorganisms.

Often used drugs such as amoksiklav, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, penicillin, amoxicillin, streptomycin. The course of treatment is from 3 to 7 days. It is important to complete the course of treatment, even if the state of health has improved, and the polyp has decreased in size. This will make it possible to completely eliminate the infectious process and avoid relapse in the future.

In addition, if you do not complete the course, the bacteria that survive, mutate, become resistant. The next time the antibiotic will be ineffective. The danger is that bacteria acquire resistance not only to this antibiotic, but to the entire group of drugs. In the future, bacteria can acquire multiple resistance with cross reactions. Thus, even other groups of microorganisms will not have an impact.
