Colds come, the air becomes clean and fresh, and the condition of the throat becomes terrible. After all, it is with the onset of colds that viral infections come, which are manifested by sore throats. As soon as it becomes difficult to swallow, it constantly burns and perspires in the throat, we run to the pharmacy and buy all kinds of medicines, antibiotics and lozenges. But the most popular and popular spray is still a sore throat. Pharmacies are full of this product, because it is they who are bought primarily for the rapid relief of pain. Accessible, convenient, cheap, and most importantly - the throat does not hurt. In order not to get lost among the abundance of this product, you need to study sprays for sore throat in advance and choose the most suitable option.
What symptoms do they relieve?
Very often people buy a spray for sore throat on the principle of "expensive price - high quality product", but does it always work? Even the most expensive spray may not help you, if not specially selected for the desired symptom. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reason that caused a sore throat and which it is desirable to alleviate.
The most common causes of sore throat are laryngitis and pharyngitis. If there is an inflammation of the throat, mouth and mucous membranes, which, among other things, is accompanied by dryness, burning and perspiration, then it is called pharyngitis. In this case, it is recommended to use such sprays as Stopangin, Kollustan, Geksoral, Ingalipt and Kameton, but only if the temperature is absent or does not exceed 37.5 degrees.
But the hoarseness of the voice, its complete absence and lack of breathing indicate laryngitis (or edema of the mucous membrane of the throat and vocal cords). The best option for a throat in this case is a spray for sore throat, such as "Ingalipt", "Hexoral" and "Cameton". If the symptoms are not obvious, there is only a slight hoarseness of voice and a dry cough, then you can use "Kollustan". This spray for sore throat is good because it is much softer than the rest. In addition, in the presence of chronic diseases of the throat, this drug can last a long time, without causing addiction.
How to use a throat spray?
The action of a spray for sore throat is that it acts on the source of pain, has antiseptic properties, and eliminates pain. To enhance the effect of the spray, you first need to get rid of excess mucus by rinsing your mouth and throat with clean warm water (it is pure water, without adding decoctions of herbs, potions and powders). After these procedures, you can safely apply the spray.
It is important to know a few rules:
- When you apply a spray from the throat, it is best to hold your breath so that it does not get into the lungs (because of this, breathing may stop).
- It is better to spray the spray over the oral cavity without concentrating on individual areas.
- After application, you can not swallow saliva for about three minutes, otherwise there will be no effect.
- Only after half an hour is it allowed to eat and drink, only then will the spray work one hundred percent.
- After each spray application, thoroughly rinse the spray gun so that no germs remain.
