Treatment of cold demands special approach when the priority is given to physical solution on the basis of salts of sea water and to the natural oils promoting maintaining optimum humidity mucous from babies. It is extremely undesirable to use vasoconstrictive drops.
Before starting treatment of cold at the baby, it is necessary to make sure that it is not an allergy and to define whether the pokhlyupyvaniye in a nose is physiological norm which is characteristic of kids about half a year. As a rule, the newborn child needs 3–4 months, and sometimes more to adapt to external conditions. If at the kid normal body temperature, he in due time eats and sleeps, then excess moisture in a nose is only the certificate that the mucous membrane of a nasopharynx and a nose did not start working to the full extent yet.
At physiological cold it is enough to increase humidity in the apartment, to reduce air temperature and to dig in a nose to the kid a chest milk or solution of sea salt (1 teaspoon on 1 liter of water).
Symptoms of infectious cold are green or yellow color of snivels and temperature increase, but it does not mean that slight cold with a subfebrilny temperature or without it it is not necessary to treat at all. Really, rhinitis at the baby – a frequent case, but it is necessary to pay attention to it. The fact is that about half a year the kids have no ability to breathe through the mouth and the congestion of a nose causes them a set of inconveniences. It is difficult to suck a breast, such children have a superficial and short dream.
If to start treatment of cold in time, then will be such ways as fluidifying of a phlegm by means of oil solution of vitamin A, physical solution or infusion of a calendula and a yarrow quite enough. Oil is dug in on 1 drop in each nostril, and physical solution and grass infusions on ½ pipettes. After that clarification and slime is carried out delete from nasal bosoms by means of rubber pear or the pipette, but only outside. Deep and intensive suction of a phlegm can aggravate a problem only.
It is necessary to monitor not only reduction of a slizevydeleniye, but also behind its absence. Drying of a nasopharynx is fraught with slime solidification that will significantly complicate removal of a phlegm.
Today the pediatrics possesses a wide range of means for treatment of cold at children of chest age on the basis of sea water which promotes simultaneous moistening of a nose and fluidifying of slime: Aquamaris, Marimer, Fiziomer". However it is impossible to use these and other medicines in the form of spray at all. Intensive irrigation of a nose can cause a reflex spasm of vocal chords. To two-year age the application only of drops is admissible. Therefore application of Euforbium, Salina is extremely undesirable though they are not less effective in the course of moistening of a nose of the kid. The warming oils of a calendula, a St. John's wort or a sea-buckthorn which are used not for burying, and for greasing have the good moistening effect. Oil of a thuja or tea tree it is possible to drip on 1 drop on a pillow before going to bed or in glass with water near the child's bed. The aromatherapy is rather effective too. However this way of treatment of cold is possible only after achievement of age of 6 months.
Vasoconstrictive medicines should not be applied without medical prescription as after a week of use they cause accustoming and become ineffective.
The danger of vasoconstrictive medicines which effect is based on narrowing of blood vessels of a mucous membrane consists in a possibility of their penetration into blood through gentle mucous the baby. Influencing all organism, medicines of such look can cause changes of pressure, tachycardia. Sometimes parents diligently dig in to the child in a nose of Nazivin or Tizin throughout a long time, including them absolutely safe for the reason that they are intended for children of chest age. Though there are quite enough also 5 days.
