Often with a runny nose, vasoconstrictive sprays and drops are used for children and adults, which contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels. This is necessary in order to ensure normal breathing through the nose.
Also, drugs that contain xylometazoline are often used. One of the most popular among these is Galazolin, which is available in the form of drops and gel. But it should be remembered that the spray from the common cold has a certain feature, which consists in the exact dosage and the almost complete absence of adverse reactions. Such drugs are able to act for about 4 hours.
Runny nose sprays for children
It is necessary to distinguish a spray from the runny nose of Dlinos, which is prescribed for children and does not carry any side effects. Xymeline and Rinonorm also belong to a number of safe sprays containing xylometazoline.
Oxymethazoline is also available as part of a drug called Navisin, which helps a lot from the common cold for children. Spray Nazol, Fazin and Ferveks will also help to cope with the infection and will not have side effects.
Navizin, in turn, is produced in the form of drops, both for adults and for children. During the use of this drug, it is necessary to carefully monitor the dosage so that it is evenly distributed over the mucous membrane.
If we talk about Nazole Advance, then in its composition there are elements that can reduce the feeling of dryness in the nasal cavity. Its action lasts about 10 hours. It should be remembered that a spray from the common cold, which includes oxymetazoline, is not allowed to be taken during pregnancy, as well as children up to a year.
If we talk about more modern vasoconstrictor drugs, then Farial and Tizin will be referred to them. The latter is allowed only to children over two years of age, but this spray from the common cold for pregnant women is contraindicated. Farial can be taken for children over 7 years old.
Runny nose sprays for adults
A common remedy for nasal congestion is Naftizin and Sanorin. The composition of these drugs includes naphazoline. Their action is about 6 hours. They are considered the most inexpensive among vasoconstrictors. Sanorin can be found on sale in the form of drops, emulsions and spray. It also contains boric acid, eucalyptus oil and liquid paraffin, with the help of which the therapeutic effect is enhanced.
Moisturizers for the common cold for adults and children
Such funds can not be called medicinal, because they are focused on improving the properties of the mucosa and provide a quick discharge of mucus. In this way, you can speed up the healing process during the treatment of the common cold with other drugs. These moisturizers can be easily prepared on their own using sea salt or mineral water.
If a runny nose is accompanied by a strong secretion of mucus, it is not recommended to use drugs that dry the mucous membrane. In this case, it is best to rinse the nose with salted water or a special solution that can be purchased at the pharmacy (Salin, Marimer, Aqua Maris and others).
Antibacterial agents for the common cold
If the runny nose is bacterial in nature, then antibacterial drugs should be used. It can be a cold spray called Fyuzafyunzhin, Framycetin, as well as Bioparox. These drugs are considered effective in fighting infection. Thanks to the nebulizing effect, their therapeutic particles are able to penetrate into the most distant areas of the nasal cavity, as well as into the paranasal sinuses. These drugs are able to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects and effectively fight bacteria. In addition, Fyuzafyunzhin, Framycetin and Bioparox are not contraindicated during breastfeeding, as they have a local effect and do not spread throughout the body.
