The need to prevent viral diseases for a child occurs in several cases:

one of the family members is sick
the child is preparing for the first visit to the kindergarten
the child contacted the patient
seasonal increase in the incidence of SARS and influenza

Important: there is no special medicine for prevention. In order to prevent the onset and development of a viral disease, the same drugs are used as for its treatment.

Preventive schemes are indicated in the instructions for any antivirus drug. So, for example, in the instructions for Influcid It is said about the need for three meals a day for a child in order to prevent viral diseases in him during a seasonal epidemic.

Preventive doses of antiviral drugs are usually 2 to 3 times lower than doses recommended for treatment.

Before visiting the kindergarten, doctors recommend preventing acute respiratory viral infections in children

Antiviral drugs for children are inexpensive

All expensive advertised antiviral drugs, as a rule, necessarily have cheaper, but from this no less effective, analogues.

Echinacea tincture is one of the cheapest antiviral agents

Antiviral drugs for children candle

The use of antiviral drugs in the form of candles (suppository) is very convenient in the treatment of young children. If the baby refuses to drink a tablet or syrup, candles come to the aid of parents.

Such children's antiviral agents are produced in the form of candles:

Laferobion (dosage of 150,000 and 500,000 for the treatment of children from birth to 1 year and from 1 year to 7 years old, respectively) - are used for the treatment of SARS 2 times a day for 5 to 7 days. Interferon -based drug

Effective antiviral drug for children

Parents who, with each SARS, will look for the most effective antiviral drug for their child will go wrong. Unfortunately, the pills have not yet come up with all diseases. Any antiviral agent can turn out to be both very effective and absolutely useless.

Many children are well helped by harmless homeopathic remedies. At the same time, parents of other sick babies say that they “threw money down the wind” when they purchased homeopathy for the treatment of SARS.

A healthy lifestyle is the most effective remedy against viruses

The most effective tool against SARS in children is hardening and a healthy lifestyle. If the baby from birth is used to fresh air, active physical activity and simple food, then no viral diseases will be able to much harm his health.

I try not to take antiviral drugs when I did not know what it was, I was treated with Ingavirin, I did not see significant help, and therefore I stopped buying it. There is no desire to throw money down, and one health is one to treat anything.

Prevention of SARS and ARI, as well as the ENT of the disease-isolate indicator for salt caves. Suhay aerosol removes quickly bacteria. It will restore the body. It is immune protection.

Until the moment the son went to the kindergarten, we did not hurt at all. Now-we go to the kindergarten for a week, two or three-we sit at home, we are being treated. We went to the doctor, we were recommended to the drug influcide. After a few days of the use of influcide, the condition of the child improved significantly. A runny nose, a cough slowly began to pass. Now we drink only for prevention. While holding on, we do not get sick.

  If it does not recover for a long time, be sure to check the baby adenoids. Often it is they who give complications of ordinary SARS. Influucide is a very good drug, but sometimes it does not save.

i picked up some terrible virus, lay in the bed for five days, even Kagocel did not help. I was afraid for my son, the doctor advised me to hang a barrier reef over his bed so that it would not become infected. Really helped. The question is, why then no one spoke about this device before?!
1. 10/31/2016 at 09:50 Irina
  
  It is not profitable for anyone to see us healthy. This is a whole industry: you start drinking an immunomodulator, then you cannot refuse it. And the barrier reef hung around the neck - and carry yourself for a month. No benefit, who will go to the pharmacy then?
  1. 10/31/2016 at 10:13 Valentina
    
    Do you know about the terrible consequences of using barrier reef? It has already been proven that even its short -term use can cause complicated forms of diseases. Experts do not advise risking their health and even more so, advise the disputed remedy for others. If you have been using this method for a long time, you will not stop you to undergo additional examinations.

Of course, each body is individual, but the influcide has helped us out more than once. Moreover, without failures and overlays. Yes, and for the baby, the best means than natural cannot be found. But the doctor’s consultation in each case is very desirable.

In a Wirus infection, Ingavirin 60 was prescribed. I immediately bought all the drugs that the doctor prescribed, and only at home read in the instructions that Ingavirin is not determined in the blood and has no overdose. It did not begin to treat the child with a dubious drug, it is not known what consequences could be after such treatment.
05/27/2017 at 11:50 Veronica

I believe that antiviral children should not be given, all the more small. The benefits of them are dubious, there is no proven effectiveness. And what will be more of benefit or harm from them is unknown. And the Oscillococcinum is generally surprising. It has long been recognized as a quackery, but for some reason it is still actively sold and even recommended to pregnant women and children.
07/26/2017 at 23:48 Anna

We were prescribed by Ingavirin60 for the treatment of a cold. In general, there was no help from his reception, since then, I do not buy an antiviral child with a cold and so far we can do it perfectly without them.
09/26/2017 at 11:32 Elya

I gave my daughter only Eroferon when she was ill. It works quickly, he has a good composition, I can’t say anything bad yet.

The active substances are applied to lactose monohydrate in the form of a mixture of three active water-alcohol dilutions of substances diluted, respectively, in 100*12, 100*30, 100*50, that is, almost until they disappear completely.
11/10/2017 at 18:27 Strengthen

Tatyana, and you are a doctor or pharmacist, where are you so sure that Ergoferon does not help? That is, if I see that he helps that, against the background of his reception, you recover faster, that then there is no long -term cough and a runny nose, there is no weakness and strong sweating, then I just inspire myself?
11/15/2017 at 14:12 Tatiana

Stretching, I have not canceled the pharmacist the placebo effect yet. If you read the literature, then there are no medicines for viruses in nature, and the developers promise prizes if they find a way to influence the target protein. What alas, Ergoferon does not, and sugar and water and degree .. This is not serious.
12/11/2017 at 16:37 Galina

In the "Pharmacokinetics" section, the manufacturer himself writes that the result of the action of Ergoferon cannot be found in any modern ways. Those. He simply does not. That is, we are offered to take a medicine in which there is no active substance !!
02/01/2018 at 01:14 Olga

I do not like to get sick, because if I get sick, then I can tolerate the disease.
10/09/2019 at 12:15 Valeria

I have good news for mothers. For those who still do not know about Derinat. These are very good drops. They can be drunk even the smallest infants. They are for better operation of the immune system to protect from viruses. I also use them not to get sick, because we are still waiting for the baby.
