A disease such as acute tonsillitis is better known among ordinary people under the name "tonsillitis." Symptoms are extremely unpleasant, and in addition to the general unhealthy condition associated with colds, tonsillitis is characterized by:
- persistent sore throat;
- redness of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and larynx;
- in especially difficult cases - the appearance of white plaque on the tonsils and discharge from them caused by pathogens.
In general, tonsillitis is a pathological condition of inflammation of the tonsils (tonsils) that occurs when they are affected by staphylococcus, pneumococcus,
hemophilic bacillus, or other types of bacteria or viruses. Most often, the causes of the development of such inflammation are either hypothermia, or a temperature drop, a violation of nasal breathing or poor nutrition and vitamin deficiency.
Very often with angina, several drugs are prescribed to alleviate sore throat. One of them are all kinds of rinses. What gargle with sore throat?
First of all, we turn to medications designed to alleviate the suffering of patients with acute tonsillitis. The most famous remedy from their arsenal is calendula tincture. This medicinal plant in the form of an alcoholic solution effectively removes the irritation of the tonsils and at the same time does not differ in too strong a taste, and therefore it can be easily used even by young children.
What gargle with sore throat? Of course, tincture of eucalyptus. This is a well-known tool. Its cooling properties and anti-inflammatory effect give an excellent result in the fight against angina. In addition to it, also an effective way to relieve inflammation is to rinse with propolis tincture.
With proper use, folk remedies for the treatment of angina bring a lot of benefit. Such, for example, as:
- rinse with beetroot juice mixed with 9% vinegar. Just do not forget to dilute the mixture with water before rinsing;
- an old, still “grandmother's” recipe for what they gargle with angina, this is iodine with salt. Three to four drops of iodine and 1/2 teaspoon of salt should be dissolved in warm water. By the way, it is better to take iodized salt immediately;
- if a sore throat is accompanied not only by a sore throat, but also by swelling, a decoction of chamomile, which should be gargled four to five times a day, will help to remove them.
Well, in the end, you should give the general rules for rinsing, in compliance with which the sore throat will be cured more effectively:
- Gargle only with warm water. Both cold and hot will only intensify irritation.
- During rinsing, the sound “Y” should be pronounced, then there is a better leaching of bacteria from the throat and oral cavity.
- When rinsing, the head should be thrown back so that the medicine better gets into the larynx.
- It is necessary to wash the throat and nose in turn - these organs are interconnected and most often have general inflammation.
- One rinse should last at least thirty seconds.
Now you know how to gargle with angina. Do it right, do not overcool and be healthy!
