All allergy sufferers will agree that the most distressing symptom of this disease is a runny nose. Constant urge to sneeze, tickling of the nose, incessant nasal mucus - all this prevents a person from living a peaceful life. And in such a situation, nose drops will become the first and most important assistant. However, they must be chosen carefully, constantly looking at the composition (this will help protect a person from another allergic reaction - already to the components of the product).
In comparison with other drugs (tablets, etc.), antiallergic drops, the price of which is much lower, are convenient in all respects. Their cost is usually small, but the effect, on the contrary, is better.
Allergy
One of the most unpleasant diseases is allergies. Scientists say that every fifth person on the planet is familiar with this type of disease. Common symptomcan be called a runny nose, but there are also itching, swelling, hearing loss, redness of some areas of the skin. In this case, a runny nose can be chronic and not leave a person at any time of the year. The most effective medicine can be called anti-allergic nose drops. People's opinions about them are rarely bad: fast acting, effective, easy to use, long-lasting, do not cause a feeling of drowsiness.
What are drops?
The range of drops today is very large, so you can always find a suitable option for an adult and a small allergy sufferer.
All existing drops are divided into five types:
Antiallergic
These include drugs such as Allergodil (price varies from 360 to 613 rubles), Levocabastin (price - from 250 to 305 rubles).
Their quick help to the patient is explained by the ability to block the receptors responsible for the symptoms of an allergic reaction. They are antihistamines.
Hormonal
Good drugs of this group: "Flixonase" (price from 480 to 645 rubles), "Avamys" (price from 380 to 575 rubles).
As a rule, hormonal drugs are prescribed only in extreme cases, when all the others have been tried, but there is no benefit from them. Their main advantage is that they are not able to get into the blood, so there are practically no side effects.
Vasoconstrictor
Whenallergies, these drugs are used most often. The most famous among them are Naftizin (price from 144 to 215 rubles), Galazolin (price from 180 to 331 rubles), Sanorin (price from 205 to 316 rubles), Nazivin (price from 86 up to 216 rubles). Among the main disadvantages of vasoconstrictor drugs are addiction and overdrying of the nasal mucosa.
Immunomodulating
Such antiallergic nose drops are very common. The most effective among them is Vilozen (price from 55 to 320 rubles). It helps the most with rhinitis, which is manifested due to plant pollen, affecting the immune system.
Combined
Among the common remedies are "Sanorin" and "Vibrocil" (price from 220 to 280 rubles). Combined species combine several other types of drugs, so they are anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and also vasoconstrictor. Thanks to the combination of all these properties, they give fast and long-lasting results.
Rhinitis with allergies in children
If a person stops breathing normally through the nose, he begins to use his mouth for this process. This is accompanied by drying of the mucous membrane, which causes inconvenience. Very young children have not yet learned to breathe through their mouths, so the lack of air is accompanied by intense crying. It is because of this that you need to urgently consult a doctor and make an attempt to "free" the nose.
What drops to use for nasal congestion in a child?
Antiallergic drops for children should be chosen with caution. The safest and most effective are:
- Vasoconstrictor drugs are used to relieve nasal congestion. They act on the swelling of the nasal cavity, completely removing it. Suitable drugs are "Nazivin", "Nazol baby" and "Rinazolin". If there is a shortage of funds, alternative options can be purchased. Any drops that last at least 12 hours (prolonged) will do.
- In order to get rid of the "remnants" of the common cold, when the clear nasal mucus has been replaced by a green viscous liquid, antiseptic anti-allergic nasal drops are prescribed. In this case, the child can take Albucid or Protargol.
- Antibiotics or antibacterial drops will be prescribed if the child has an advanced form of allergy. However, remember that antibiotics are not the best medicine for children.
- Drugs aimed at getting rid of allergies in general, and not its symptoms, can be vasoconstrictive. In principle, both the above medicines and Allergodil, the price of which is high, but very justifying expectations, Vibrocil and Halozolin, will do.
- Among the homeopathic drops, it is impossible to single out the most effective, since basically everyone acts on the same basis. The doctor himself chooses, based on his preferences. With allergicrinite prescribe "Edas-131", "Delufen", "Euphorbium compositum".
Taking any drugs is allowed for no more than one week, as they gradually become addictive, which is fraught with even more serious consequences.
Antiallergic nose drops for pregnant women
Firstly, what a pregnant woman should remember: in no case should you take into account the recommendations of relatives, friends or neighbors. Secondly, even if the symptoms are not serious, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Great remedies are drops:
- with sea s alt content;
- with oils, in particular essential oils.
Sometimes prescribed homeopathic or self-made at home.
Pregnancy Allergy Medicines
The safest way to get rid of allergies is to use a saline solution. Suitable are "Aqua Maris" and "Marimer". Due to the fact that they are composed of sea s alt, they easily moisturize the nasal mucosa and quickly relieve inflammation.
"Pinosol" is another effective remedy. It includes mint, eucalyptus and pine. Thanks to this composition, the breath of a woman is quickly facilitated.
Anti-allergic nose drops "Salin" are considered a good drug due to the fact that they do not have a vasoconstrictive effect and do not contain various hormonal substances. They restore breath in a short time.
"Rhinitol" and"Euphorbium" is prescribed most often, as they do not have side effects for pregnant women.
Antiallergic nasal drops: rules of use
You need to remember one property of anti-allergic drops: they only relieve all symptoms, helping a person fight allergies, but in no way affect its cause.
You need to ask your doctor about certain drops, how they are taken, how long and what side effects are possible. In no case should you increase the dose and frequency of administration, thinking that this will improve the effect. On the contrary, such actions will only exacerbate the development of allergies. In addition, allergists can prescribe a specific therapeutic treatment and determine the cause of the disease itself.
How to get rid of the appeared addiction?
Drops are easily addictive, so when one appears, you should urgently consult an otolaryngologist (ENT). He, in turn, will prescribe special solutions for washing the nasal cavity and hormonal drugs that have anti-inflammatory properties. Thanks to this solution, it is possible to restore the tone of the vessels and the mucous membrane itself, as well as restore sensitivity.
When an internal infection occurs, the ENT usually prescribes antibiotics to relieve inflammation.
Anti-allergic nose drops should be taken with great caution, while respecting the dosage and limiting the time of use.
