During infectious diseases of the oral cavity, doctors prescribe a wide variety of medicines. "Furasol", the instructions for use of which are quite simple, are applied topically or externally, but by no means inside. And of course, you must consult a doctor before taking it.
What kind of drug
The active substance in the drug "Furasol", the instructions for use of which will be presented in detail below, is furazidine. This is a crystalline yellowish powder with a bitter aftertaste. Actually, “Furasol” (instructions for use is attached to each package) is just a trade name. In fact, this is the same drug that is used to rinse the throat and oral cavity.

Contraindications
You need to familiarize yourself with them before acquiring Furasol. The instruction to it states that it should not be taken by pregnant women at any time (in any of the trimesters of pregnancy). The same applies to nursing mothers, as well as children whose age is less than four years.

When "Furasol" is prescribed

After the procedure, it is not recommended to drink or eat for half an hour.
Wound Treatment
If “Furasol” is prescribed in order to wash open or postoperative wounds with it, then it is bred in the same way as for rinsing. However, the temperature is slightly lower, so as not to cause undue inconvenience and discomfort. In addition, clean gauze dressings are moistened in the solution, and then applied to the wounds for a while (60-90 minutes, constantly updating). Since furazidine has antimicrobial properties, it helps protect soft tissues from infections.
How to treat a baby's throat
It is quite difficult for kids whose age does not exceed seven years to independently rinse their oral cavity with high quality. Therefore, you can resort to some trick: a solution of furazidine is collected in a syringe, from which it is sprayed into the mouth. The throat is treated in the same way if it is painful or uncomfortable for the child to rinse it on his own. The main thing is that he does not swallow the drug. After the procedure, you need to wait half an hour, after which you can give a drink of clean boiled water.
