Using chlorhexidine for throat diseases.

For more than 60 years, chlorhexidine has been used in medicine as an antiseptic whose homeland is considered the UK. This is a very strong drug, which even after processing for some time still retains its bactericidal effect. Actively fighting gram -positive and gram -negative bacteria (there are, however, exceptions), so the method of its use is only external. By the way, it can give some bacteria the opportunity to withstand antibiotics.

Grassing the throat chlorhexidine to the adult: instructions, how to breed, dosage

The use of this drug is widely used where sterile cleanliness must be observed - this is an operational part of the body (in other words, field), the hands of the surgeon and its tools. Of course, chlorhexidine treats hands and other doctors. It is perfect for washing purulent wounds, with septic processes. And also, they are used as the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, trichomoniasis and gonorrhea. But another direction of it is a rinse of the throat.

It is prescribed in the case:

• purulent sore throat
• for the treatment of laryngitis
• and also, pharyngitis
• especially if there is an acute or chronic form
• tonsillitis also acts as an indicator for the use of this medicine
• another symptom that is subject to such treatment is tracheitis
• during influenza, acute respiratory viral infections or acute respiratory infections will be very useful to rinse the throat chlorhexidine
• nicotine effects can also be removed with such treatment

Important! High temperature increases the effects of chlorhexidine! Therefore, it is much more effective to use it in a warm state. The minimum temperature should be 22 ° C, but not more than 40 ° C.

• At too high temperatures, inflammatory processes can aggravate even more, and at low temperatures and efficiency to decrease, and vessel narrowing will occur.

The main form of substance release is 20%, but a less concentrated drug is used for use. For rinsing, the throat is more suitable:

• The concentration of 0.05% is considered the most optimal because it does not require the addition of liquid;
• But, a solution of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5%is also suitable. But in this case, you need to strictly follow the instructions on how to breed them.

How to take it correctly:

1. If you bought a finished 0.05%solution, then it is not necessary to breed it for adults.
   • The dosage should take no more than one tablespoon.
   • A rinse time should be 30 seconds, but not exceed 1 minute.
   • The contents need to be spit out.
   • Of course, such a procedure is necessary after eating.
   • And, preferably, rinse your mouth with warm water to remove the remaining food.
   • The frequency of rinses directly depends on the severity of the disease. Sometimes there are enough 2-3 times, and with strong purulent inflammations, the number of rinses themselves can increase to 4 times.
   • The course of treatment is also an individual question. On average, it lasts 7-14 days. If the condition has improved, then you can stop such treatment.
2. If the concentration of chlorhexidine has a higher degree, then you need to dilute with boiled or distilled water.
   • At a concentration of 0.1%, you need to dilute in a ratio of 1: 2. That is, twice as much water.
   • With a concentration of 0.2%, of course, 1: 4.
   • And a concentrate of 0.5% must be diluted in a ratio of 1:10.

On a note! Since, it is very rarely assigned a similar concentration for rinsing.

• The 1%solution should be diluted in relation to 1:20.
• 2%-in the amount of 1:50.
• Well, a 5%solution should be diluted in a ratio of 1: 100.

Important! Do not self -medicate. Only your attending physician can prescribe the correct dosage. After all, it is he who knows your history and the degree of disease. Sometimes, in severe forms of the disease, it is worth taking a higher concentration or increasing the frequency of rinses.

Several recommendations:

• Do not combine treatment with hydrogen peroxide
• In no case do not combine treatment with Lugol solution
• Also, do not combine this drug with iodine
• Strictly follow the instructions
• Effective treatment is always only comprehensive (for any disease)
• Important! For 2 hours or at least 1.5 hours, do not eat and do not drink
• But ethanol (alcohol) enhances the action of chlorhexidine

By the way! The solution must be heated before use. If you dilute it with chlorhexidine with water, then it is just worth taking a warm warm one.

And one important nuance - if you leave chlorhexidine in an open state (diluted or not), after half an hour all its qualities will evaporate. Therefore, the drug must be prepared immediately before rinsing.

The use of chlorhexidine for the throat for the child: instructions, how to breed, dosage

For children, any medicines under 12 years old should be given with great care, and up to the age of 6 even more carefully. Of course, to children to a year or even up to 2-3 years old and there is no question of this method of treatment. After all, they still do not know how to rinse the throat, and even more so, spitting out the medicine can also forget.

• And the point is not only that they do not know how to handle such a drug correctly. After all, even at the age of six, you need to control so that the baby does not swallow the medicine, and rinse the throat with enough time.
• The fact is that such a drug is considered a very strong antiseptic and, yes, copes well with inflammation. But! It can cause an allergic reaction (in children it is simply a more sensitive and susceptible organism), it can provoke irritation and cause burning.

Important: all this, of course, depends on the individuality of each organism. The above features may not have everyone. But you need to give this medicine only after the approval of the doctor and his recommendations are in terms of dosage.

How to give chlorhexidine to children. If the doctor insisted that it is necessary to use it for children whose age did not reach 2 years, then:

• It is better to wipe with a cotton swab moistened in a diluted solution
• Be sure to make sure that you do not try to suck out the liquid from the same swab and do not try to swallow
• In order to reduce this risk as much as possible, put the child on the side (the head should look straight) so that the excess fluid can easily leak
• For children of any age (meant up to 12 years), only 0.05% solution can be taken to rinse the throat

Some doctors do not recommend using the diluted drug, since its effectiveness of action is reduced. This means that it takes more time to kill all (well, or most) of microbes and bacteria.

And if you rinse for too long, then it is possible to manifest dry mouth and a burning sensation. Although a highly concentrated drug can cause these symptoms. Therefore, strictly follow the doctor's recommendations.

• Until 6 years, it is better to dilute with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 2
• Over 6 years old (and up to 12), you can slightly reduce the amount of water to a dosage of 1: 1
• In the same way as adults, the procedure needs to be carried out only after eating and, preferably, rinse the mouth from the remnants of food
• The maximum disposable dose is 1 tsp.
• Rinse the throat (or just wipe the oral cavity) in the morning and evening. If the child is older or this requires the complexity of the disease, then the doctor may prescribe this operation 3 times a day. But for children this is the maximum indicator!
• And, of course, do not eat for 1.5-2 hours. It is also not desirable to drink.
• You need to take it to persistent improvement in the patient's health. In principle, a significant result is visible after a week.

In no case do not take more than 15 days! This applies to both children and adults. Although there are practically no cases of an overdose, but you should be attentive:

• If itching or dry mouth occurs, be sure to inform your doctor about it. It can prescribe another medicine or reduce the dosage.
• Also, an overdose signal may be a change in taste.
• If the enamel has changed the color, it is also worthwhile.
• In some cases, tartar may occur.
• And if there is an allergic reaction or dermatitis manifests itself, then it is urgent to cancel the rinse with chlorhexidine.

As a rule, after the cancellation of the drug, all symptoms pass on their own in a few days.

Can chlorhexidine be sprayed for children in the throat?

Yes, such a drug is produced not only in the form of a solution, but also as a spray or candle (vaginal). And, of course, the question arises - is it possible to spray the throat with such a spray? After all, this is much more convenient (especially when it comes to throat diseases). Let's reason logically and disassemble everything in order.

• Yes, the spray is really practical in this matter. After all, they can get much further. But, as a rule, it is used after rinsing. After we wash all the microbes, you need to drip something in order to calm and give an additional attending effect. Now we are talking about other throat sprays.
• But! When we spray the spray in the throat, where does the liquid go? That's right, we swallow it. Even an adult will be difficult to spit out the contents.
• Therefore, children under 12 years of age are strictly forbidden to spray with a spray. Yes, and adults too. This drug is very concentrated and toxic, so it can damage the mucous membrane of the throat.
• In general, the spray has a direct purpose - it is handling hands and surfaces.

Important: Remind! What to swallow chlorhexidine is prohibited! Chlorhexidine can only be used as irrigation of the throat.

How to irrigate the throat with chlorhexidine:

1. It is more convenient to perform such a procedure using a syringe (without a needle) or sprint.
2. This procedure, yes, can be done to children. But, preferably, after five years. For small children there are a number of the same effective and less aggressive drugs.
3. We dilute to the concentration that we have already indicated above.
4. Important! The child’s head should be tilted forward, face down. This is done so that the liquid flows easily.
5. Once again we remind you that the liquid should be warm. Firstly, the qualities of chlorhexidine are increasing. And secondly, for the sore throat there is nothing better than warm (not hot) water.
6. It is necessary to process the same, as in rinsing, at least 30 seconds.
7. And also do not eat food and water for 1.5-2 hours.
8. A small recommendation - ask the child to spat a liquid well, which is even in small doses, but is present in saliva!

The use of chlorhexidine for the throat during pregnancy: Instructions on how to breed, dosage

1. If we talk about the dosage, then it is the same as that of an adult (we have already indicated above).
2. Therefore, the rinse scheme itself is similar:
   • rinseed the mouth with warm water from the residues of food
   • scored a tablespoon
   • rinked the throat for 30 seconds (minimum)
   • they spit it out
3. It is not necessary to dilute the drug, since then it will not have such a positive treatment for an adult, albeit a pregnant person.

How to rinse the throat with tonsillitis with chlorhexidine: instructions for use, dosage during dilution

Angina itself is a very painful and severe ailment. Unfortunately, folk remedies are powerless for its treatment. Therefore, so that the recovery is fast and the relapse does not occur, the course of antibiotics is prescribed. Rinse of the throat is only a component of a whole course of treatment. You can’t cure your throat with one rinse. But!

1. This action helps to remove purulent plaque on the tonsils.
2. Also, it helps in the fight against harmful bacteria and microbes.
3. And also an important aspect - warm water (or liquid), not hot, but room temperature (or slightly higher). It is she who additionally relieves inflammation in the throat and allows you to remove soreness at least for some time. After all, everyone knows that with angina it is painful not only to eat, but also to swallow saliva.

How to rinse the throat with angina:

• The dosage for an adult does not change-10-15 ml at a time.
• But with angina (at least the first days), rinsing should be carried out twice in a row.
• After rinsing your mouth with warm water after eating, typing a tablespoon of chlorhexidine.
• It is important that it is warm (we already make a reservation why, so we will not repeat ourselves).
• You need to rinse 30-40 seconds and spit the liquid.
• During the first rinse, the drug removes that purulent plaque.
• But the second rinse (after a short period of time) covers the tonsils with a thin protective layer. And it protects the throat from the formation of new bacteria, and also prevents the formation of pus.

Important: the first 2-3 days you need to rinse more often-every 3 hours. When relief in the throat is felt, then you can rinse only 3 times a day until a complete recovery.

• You can’t eat after the procedure at least 1 hour.
• As a rule, the course of treatment lasts no more than a week.

How to rinse the throat with chlorhexidine for sore throat, tonsillitis: instructions for use, dosage during dilution

Let's immediately dispel all points over the "and." Tonsillitis and angina are diseases that are accompanied by inflammation of the tonsils. Yes, there are still concomitant symptoms - these are sore throat, high temperature, swallowing becomes very painful and others.

What is the difference between tonsillitis and tonsillitis:

• The first disease caused by viral flora
• The second ailment occurs due to bactericidal etiology. Mostly streptococci and staphylococci
• Also, there is a slight difference in temperature. With tonsillitis, it is not so high
• During the sore throat, a runny nose is not observed. But with tonsillitis, on the contrary, it goes as a concomitant symptom

Tonsillitis can be of two types:

• chronic
• spicy

In other words, Angina is an acute form of tonsillitis. Therefore, treatment does not differ from the previous option. In the case of a chronic form, such treatment is carried out.

1. Scheme and dosage of rinsing are the same as with tonsillitis
2. But! We remind you again - this is only an addition to comprehensive treatment, which is prescribed only by a doctor

How to rinse the chlorhexidine throat with pharyngitis: instructions for use, dosage during dilution

Some are misleading that pharyngitis is a type of angina (or vice versa). This is a wrong opinion. Pharyngitis is localized on the mucous membrane and lymphoid tissue of the pharynx. That is, its location behind the tonsils. So, it requires deeper treatment.

Chlorhexidine is considered a very popular drug in this treatment. But only, as an addition, and to facilitate the condition of the patient. There are several varieties of pharyngitis, each of them has its own course of treatment. And only a doctor can make a diagnosis, on the basis of which care is selected.

• Take it to adults no more than 1 tbsp.
• It is better to take a 0.05%solution, it is not necessary to dilute it with water.
• It is also necessary to rinse after eating (and eliminating food residues) for 20-30 seconds, 3 times a day.
• And, of course, you can not swallow the liquid and eat within 2 hours.
• There is a small distinguishing feature - such a rinse is very useful to alternate with a rinse of herbs, for example, chamomile.

• I would also like to add that with pharyngitis, inhalation is another integral part of the treatment. And chlorhexidine can also be used for this purpose. The dosage and concentration in this case also does not differ from the main conditions for taking this drug.
• But be sure to consult on this issue with the attending physician.
• The duration of treatment is to complete recovery and elimination of all the symptoms of the disease. As a rule, it lasts about a week.

How to use chlorhexidine for colds?

Such a drug helps well not only for the treatment of the throat, but also with a runny nose will have a positive effect. Of course, with a cold, nasal congestion often occurs and can drag on for a long time.

The main goal of chlorhexidine with colds is to wash the nose. To do this, you should adhere to several simple rules.

• The first thing to do is to well clear the nasal passages from mucus (as far as possible).
• Chlorhexidine, do not forget, should be warm or room temperature.
• We lie down on the side and bury the liquid into the upper nostril. And from the second, the contents should flow out.
• If suddenly the medicine hit the mouth, then it, without fail, needs to be spit out.
• And there are also small restrictions - you can not crush the lying position within an hour! Since the remaining fluids can still penetrate inside.
• Chlorhexidine with a concentration of 0.05%is also suitable for the nose. There is no need to breed it, we have already said that the healing properties of the drug are so weakening.

How often can you rinse your throat with chlorhexidine?

If throat diseases happen very often, then you must definitely consult a doctor. Most likely, he will appoint to take the necessary tests. It is possible that a bad bacterium settled in the oral cavity, which produces disputes and provokes ailments or this is a signal of another disease.

• You need to handle chlorhexidine very carefully. Do not exceed the rinse time and the concentration of the drug (as well as dosage).
• Do not use more than 15 days!
• The minimum break between treatment courses should be 1-2 months. And we have already stipulated that frequent viral diseases signal other problems (possibly with immunity).
• You can rinse a day 2-3 times (sometimes a doctor prescribes 4). In the early days of the disease, you can rinse more often (about 3-4 hours after 3-4 hours).
• And we remind you again - do not self -medicate! Only your attending physician, knowing all the tests and causes of diseases, can prescribe the correct dosage, pattern and duration of treatment.

What will happen if you swallow, swallowed chlorhexidine: consequences

How do not try, and some insignificant percentage of the solution still gets into our stomach. We have already figured out that the main task of chlorhexidine is the destruction of microbes and bacteria. And so we approach the main problem that the swallowed liquid can cause.

• Violation of the intestinal microflora. Subsequently, what, poisoning or indigestion may occur. The fact is that chlorhexidine destroys not only harmful microbes, but also useful ones. Yes, precisely those that we need for normal digestion.
• If a small amount of not concentrated solution is absorbed, then the medicine will come out with feces (90%). The rest is displayed by the kidneys. Indeed, in our stomach it is not absorbed.
