Many colds and viral diseases accompanied by rhinitis. Patients have a feeling of nasal congestion, difficulty breathing. To eliminate this unpleasant symptom, it is customary to use different kinds drops. As a rule, there are no problems with the choice of drugs for the treatment of adults. The situation is more complicated in the case of the treatment of children. Their body requires a more gentle medication. In particular, doctors often prescribe a children's Nazivin for them.

Causes of the common cold

First, you should consider the main causes of the common cold and the mechanism of its occurrence. The mucus produced by the lining of the nasal cavity has a strong bactericidal effect. It kills most of the harmful microorganisms that enter the nasal cavity when breathing. When a person's immune defense decreases, swelling occurs in the sinuses, as a result of which the body begins to produce more mucus. An increase in secretion leads to disruption of the normal functioning of the cilia, as a result, the very feeling of nasal congestion arises. Rhinitis can often be triggered not only by the action of microorganisms, but also by various allergens.

Antihistamines can help relieve these sensations, but they negatively affect the body. "Nazivin" for children has a milder effect. As a result, doctors often prescribe it to relieve symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Structure

The main active ingredient of the drug is oxymetazoline hydrochloride. Other components are also used: benzalkonium chloride solution, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, one-molar sodium hydroxide solution, purified water, disodium edat.

Liquid appearance

In most cases, the solution is completely colorless. Sometimes the color may be light yellow. In terms of the effect on the body and the effectiveness of treatment, no difference was found in this case.

Release form

Children's "Nazivin" is sold in a glass bottle with a special pipette cap. This allows parents to accurately determine the number of drops and prevent the risk of overdose. The bottle itself is made of dark thick glass. The fact is that ultraviolet light can partially destroy the active substance and reduce its concentration in the solution. Naturally, the quality and effectiveness of the entire therapy will suffer from this. The bottle is placed in a cardboard box with instructions. Children's "Nazivin" is sold in a volume of 5 ml. The capacity of an adult bottle is twice as large.

Sometimes a container for storing a solution is made of polymers.

Concentration

Children's "Nazivin" differs from an adult primarily in the concentration of the active substance. The content of oxymetazoline hydrochloride may vary. For children, you can use drops with a concentration of 0.01%, for adolescents - 0.025%, for adults - 0.05%. In the latter case, you can find on sale not only nasal drops, but also a spray.

Pharmacological properties

The drug reduces puffiness, constricts blood vessels. Topical application to the mucous membrane reduces irritation and the total amount of nasal discharge. As a result, the child is able to restore breathing. In some cases, "Nazivin" for children is also used to eliminate the feeling of nasal congestion.

Reducing edema helps restore sinus aeration. This effect prevents the appearance of bactericidal complications. The risk of otitis media, sinusitis or sinusitis is reduced by several times.

With proper use, irritation of the mucous membrane is not observed in principle. The substance begins to act in about 10-20 minutes. At the same time, it is possible to remove puffiness for up to 12 hours. The final figure depends entirely on the characteristics of the organism.

Indications for use

Children's drops "Nazivin" are prescribed for respiratory diseases that are accompanied by rhinitis. The tool is quite effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. In this case, you can even stop using antihistamines in principle. Baby drops "Nazivin" from 1 year old have proven their effectiveness in vasomotor rhinitis. In this case, the feeling of nasal congestion occurs due to violations of the general vascular tone. A chronic disease of a non-infectious nature can be exacerbated during a decrease in the body's immune defense. Often, the drug is prescribed for the diagnosis of sinuses. In this case, drops can be applied immediately before the procedure itself.

Contraindications

Children's drops "Nazivin" from 1 to 6 years old are not recommended for use with atrophic rhinitis... This chronic illness most often observed in women, it is often diagnosed in children over the age of 12 months. In this case, mucosal atrophy occurs. Naturally, destructive processes also occur with nerve endings. In this case, local antibiotics can be used, sometimes an operation is performed.

Treatment of a child with "Nazivin" should be carried out with the utmost caution if he has high blood pressure.

Dosage and administration

It all depends solely on the age of the baby. Therefore, the presented issue should be considered in more detail.

Children under 1 year of age are prescribed a drug containing 0.01% oxymetazoline hydrochloride. Moreover, only one drop can be dripped into each nasal passage. It is recommended to carry out the procedure no more than three times per day.

Children from 12 months to 6 years old are prescribed a solution containing 0.025% oxymetazoline hydrochloride. In this case, no more than 2 drops can be dripped into each nasal passage at a time. The frequency of application is the same as indicated above.

The general course of therapy should not exceed five days. In this case, an increase in dosage is possible only after consulting a doctor. Sometimes an alternative treatment is prescribed for children. Depending on the age of the child, a solution of the desired concentration is selected. Then ordinary cotton wool is moistened with it and the nasal passages are wiped with it. The method is effective, in some cases a similar method of treatment is even better than classical instillation.

There is only one thing to remember: patients should avoid long-term treatment and drug overdose. The likelihood of an increase in the body's resistance is high. As a result, there will be no proper therapeutic effect.

Interaction with other drugs

When treating children with Nazivin and drugs that can block the synthesis of monoamine oxidase, there is a risk of increased blood pressure. Therefore, such therapy must be approached very carefully. Adults are not advised to use these nasal drops with antidepressants.

Side effects

The instructions for the use of "Nazivin" for children say about some side effects of the drug. Sometimes the baby may have a specific burning sensation in the nasal mucosa. It is highly likely to dry out. Often, immediately after instillation, the child may begin to sneeze violently.

Sometimes after the application of "Nazivin" the child may experience dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Certain sleep problems occur. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult to put the baby to bed during therapy.

Overdose and overshoot

Firstly, with the wrong treatment, problems with the central nervous system can arise. They are accompanied by increased sleepiness and a general decrease in vitality. The child's body temperature may drop significantly. Coma cases have not been confirmed, but the developers themselves medicinal product do not exclude such a possibility.

Secondly, in case of an overdose, there will be a strong constriction of the pupils. In this case, the child will also complain of headaches and nausea.

In the cases presented above, therapy should be stopped immediately. It is also recommended to immediately call a doctor and send the patient to the hospital.

If the substance enters the stomach, it is necessary to perform lavage procedures. You should also give your child activated charcoal. The sorbent will bind the active substance and prevent its further spread throughout the body.

Storage

Oxymetazoline hydrochloride may degrade when exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, the instructions for the use of children's Nazivin say that the drug should be kept in a dark place.

Opinions of doctors
