Hydrogen peroxide in case of sore throat and child

Today, the disease is becoming more prevalent, such as angina. It occupies a leading position in the structure of morbidity among the population. Especially intensively, this disease manifests itself in childhood. One of the most effective means of promoting rapid recovery is peroxide in angina.

Than to gargle with a purulent sore throat?

It is recommended to use various means. Apply herbal extracts, antibacterial drugs, hydrogen peroxide.

Treatment of sore throat with peroxide

The disease is an inflammation of the tonsils and lymphoid tissue, which develops an inflammatory and purulent infectious process. Thus there is a covering of a nasopharynx a touch, which also is washed off during a rinse.

Pus can accumulate, which requires the use of peroxide: it prevents the reproduction of bacterial microflora, is used to prevent suppuration. You can lubricate the inflamed tonsils. Based on it, ointments are prepared.

The substance is very effective, but nevertheless it is necessary to comply with a number of requirements and conditions. First of all, it is necessary to understand that it should not fall into the stomach. She should only wash her throat and spit out. Together with it pus, congestions, and deposits are excreted. There is also a reaction of dissolution of the plaque, where the pathogenic microflora is killed, which is the etiological factor in angina. In some cases, peroxide may simply slow down the process of bacteria multiplication. It is important to consider that peroxide is not a means that directly removes inflammation. Nevertheless, it indirectly helps to reduce the inflammatory process. This is due to the fact that microorganisms die, respectively, and the inflammatory process is removed. In itself, as a monotherapy, peroxide is ineffective.

The mechanism of action is that it has a weak antimicrobial agent. A chemical reaction is carried out with a bacterial microflora, through which free oxygen is released. It has a bactericidal effect, killing bacteria. It destroys their cell wall, which leads to death. Also formed air bubbles contribute to remove and toxins from the body.

It must also be taken into account that pure oxygen is capable of exerting toxic effects on the cells of the body, so it is not advisable to abuse it.

The reaction can occur only in case of contact with a pathogenic microflora and inflamed tissue, or blood. When in contact with healthy skin and mucous membrane reaction does not occur.

Indications Hydrogen peroxide in angina

Peroxide is used to remove bacterial, viral and fungal microflora, as well as to remove the inflammatory process. It is indicated for inflammation of any origin, as well as for various diseases of the respiratory tract, nasopharynx, pharynx. Can be effective in the treatment of sinusitis.

Peroxide can be administered by analysis. Many doctors prefer not to prescribe the treatment with peroxide, without confirming the preliminary diagnosis with the results of laboratory tests. So, peroxide is recommended in the case that this is really angina, which is caused by the development of bacterial infection. In case this is a viral or fungal infection, peroxide will not only be inefficient, but also dangerous, as it can lead to a number of serious side effects and complications. We must not forget that peroxide is a highly unsafe agent.

Effective peroxide will be if the cause of the development of angina is streptococcal infection, in particular, a green streptococcus. This can be confirmed with a standard bacteriological study, for which a smear from the throat and nose is taken. A smear shows streptococcus. To carry out such a study, a smear should be taken to the laboratory within 2 hours after taking. In the laboratory, the seeding is carried out on a nutrient medium. Incubate under optimal conditions, a clean culture is obtained. After this, the pure culture is resected to selective nutrient media. Again incubated, and then carried out identification by serological and biochemical characteristics. If a streptococcal infection is confirmed, you can safely prescribe hydrogen peroxide.

Also, an indication for the administration of hydrogen peroxide is an inflammatory, infectious, or allergic process, which can be indicated by an increase in ESR, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. You can also roughly guess which system of organs is the main pathological process, what is its severity. It depends on this, what dosage peroxide to choose, what method of application. Also, when detecting protein in the urine, we can talk about the development of a purulent inflammatory process (follicular angina), in which rinses are prescribed.

And here, if the analysis shows a high content of eosinophils and an elevated level of histamine, one can assume an allergic process. In this case, the use of peroxide is inappropriate, since it will not have a positive effect. Also, peroxide is ineffective in the development of a viral or fungal disease. If there is a suspicion of an infectious disease, virological studies are appointed, as well as bacteriological culture, which will allow to differentiate the viral disease from bacterial or fungal infection. Take smears, scraping directly from the throat, lingual plaque, a smear from the throat and nose. Blood is also examined by microscopy, bacteriological inoculation, serological or virological studies.

When a disease of unclear etiology, the purpose of peroxide depends on the characteristics of the clinical picture.

Release form

Hydrogen peroxide is released as a solution placed in a dark bottle with different capacities. The solution is a clear color, with fine bubbles. Basically released as a 3% solution, however, there is also a large concentration. Also, peroxide is produced in the form of hydroperite tablets.

In the form of a solution is issued under the name "hydrogen peroxide". In the form of tablets, peroxide is available under the name hydroperite.

[6], [7]

Dosing and administration

It is important never to swallow it, as it affects the gastrointestinal tract. 

Peroxide in angina in adults

A tablespoon is dissolved in a glass of water. Then proceed to rinse your throat. There is also a second option for preparing a rinse solution: the hydroperitic tablet is dissolved in a glass of warm water. Rinse should be at intervals of not less than 3 hours. After a better rinse with a decoction of herbs with anti-inflammatory effect: sage, chamomile, calendula, string. This is due to the fact that peroxide dissolves and removes pus, microorganisms. However, they may not completely retire. Anti-inflammatory herbs relieve inflammation and remove residues after mechanical destruction.

It is also often used to lubricate the inflamed parts of the throat and tonsils. It uses hydroperite, hydrogen peroxide, hydroperite tablets. From the hydroperity make an aqueous solution: for 150 ml of warm water add 1 tablet, dissolve it. Hydrogen peroxide 3% is used in pure form. Then take a clean wand with cotton wool, moistened in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and quickly miss inflamed patches: the area of the tonsils, lymphatic tongues, the root of the tongue, pharynx. In this case, it is recommended to press the root of the tongue tightly with a spatula. In extreme cases, in the absence of a spatula, the use of a spoon from the back end is allowed. If a person has an intensified and hypertrophied vomiting reflex, this method will not work. Then it's best to resort not to lubricating the throat, but to rinsing.

Proportions and how to dilute hydrogen peroxide for gargling.

The following proportion is observed: a tablespoon of peroxide dissolves in a glass of warm water. You can also use hydroperit tablets: one tablet dissolves in a glass of water.

It is important to observe the basic precautions. Do not get in eyes. This can be unsafe for the condition of the eyes and eyes. In case the substance can not be avoided in the eye, it is necessary to rinse it with clean water. It is necessary to address to the ophthalmologist, even if no visible violations are revealed. You can use moisturizers or anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent burns and inflammation.

Rules for dilution of the solution must be strictly observed, otherwise you can get a chemical burn of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx and pharynx instead of a positive effect. In this regard, it is also not recommended to use a peroxide rinse solution more often than 5 times a day. Between the rinses, you need to make a time interval of 3-4 hours. After the throat is rinsed with peroxide, it is necessary to rinse it with warm water or anti-inflammatory herbs. Also, in no case should you swallow peroxide, as this can cause serious disorders from the gastrointestinal tract. Also, you should not self-medicate.

Application for children

A solution of peroxide is highly not recommended for children. This is due to the fact that the mucosa in them is more sensitive and susceptible, is more easily exposed to chemical damage. Otolaryngologists in the most extreme cases prescribe peroxide for the treatment of children aged after 12 years. Also in some urgent cases, peroxide is also used for young children. In this case, a reduced dosage of peroxide is used. Children under the age of 6 years are strictly forbidden from applying peroxide even in urgent cases, since the child can swallow the solution, which will cause severe gastrointestinal disturbances and severe poisoning.

Use Hydrogen peroxide in angina during pregnancy

This is not the best remedy during pregnancy and lactation. It is better to choose a safer therapy. Pregnancy is a period when the sensitivity of the organism increases significantly and its susceptibility, reactivity changes. In this period, with respect to many drugs, individual intolerance develops, as well as increased sensitivity. Many side effects can develop, therefore, peroxide in case of angina during pregnancy is not recommended. It can significantly worsen state of health, cause intoxication, cause chemical burn.

Contraindications

There are practically no complications. The exception is cases of individual intolerance of the substance, as well as allergic reaction. It is not recommended to use in childhood, during pregnancy and during lactation.
