How to choose a drop from the cold?

Treatment of the common cold can be done without consulting a doctor, but, nevertheless, it will be much more correct. After all, the problem can be of a different nature. It can be an infectious, allergic and even a vasomotor runny nose and with each of them it is necessary to fight correctly.

The choice of a certain remedy for the common cold largely depends on the patient. The fact is that the concentration of the used drugs is directly dependent on the age of the patient and his condition as a whole.

It should be understood that not all drugs can have an effective and positive effect. For example, Naphthysine, Sanorin and Galazolin have a fairly short duration of action and have a toxic effect on the cardiovascular system and the body. Moreover, they are capable of causing addiction. Therefore, you need to take them with extreme caution. In rhinitis, preference should be given to oil-based drops - they do not completely dry the mucous membrane, and they contain extracts of medicinal plants that have a curative effect when applied topically.

If the child is sick, it is better to choose a drop with an antiseptic and mild cauterizing effect. Protargol and Coragol are among them. But they must be used only on the advice of a doctor

It is necessary to know that drops can not be immediately canceled, but it needs to be done with a gradual decrease in the dose. Therefore, the effect when using complex drops can be instantaneous, and the duration of the action is far from always always positive.

Take funds with extreme caution. It is advisable to consult a doctor before starting treatment. 

Recipe for complex drops from the cold

To alleviate the common cold and at the same time not to cause an allergic reaction will allow many vasoconstrictive, homeopathic and plant-based remedies. Particular preference is given to Protargola and Pinosol. In their composition, they do not contain harmful components that can overdry the mucous membrane. True, they do not have such a wonderful effect as vasoconstrictor drops, but they are completely safe.

It's worth paying attention to Sanorin. In most cases, Otrivin is a great help. To get rid of rhinitis will help wash the sinuses of the nose with special products based on sea water. So, to their number carry Salin, Aqua Maris, Aqualor and Dolphin. If a person is hypersensitive to many components of the drops from the nose, it is worth consulting with the doctor regarding their intake.

Cost

Depends on many factors. So, the big role is played by the manufacturer. Usually preparations of domestic production have much more reasonable prices. Basically you can buy drops for 15-50 hryvnia. Much depends in this case on the location of the pharmacy and other small factors.

Drops from the cold were never distinguished by a high price. But, if you take into account imported drugs, the cost is much higher. So, on average, the drops will cost 70-80 hryvnia. It is difficult to say that they have special effectiveness. In this case, everything depends on the country of the manufacturer.

Efficiency and composition of droplets play a significant role. Simple drugs are much cheaper, they can remove the runny nose for only a few hours, but can not cure it. Therefore, when buying a product, it is worth paying attention to its effect. 

Cheap drops from the cold

Also can be effective. A very strange stereotype has developed for a long time. If the product is expensive, it means it will definitely help. This is not always the case. Quite often the simplest drops can have a good effect.

Among inexpensive means, Galazolin has proven itself. It removes the swelling of the nasal mucosa and eliminates the runny nose. After the first application, breathing is greatly facilitated.

In general, the concept of inexpensive drops is very doubtful. The fact is that for each person it is original. For someone inexpensive, this is not more than 10 hryvnia, for another not more than 50. Therefore, when choosing a medicine, it is first of all to pay attention to its composition and action. After all, saving on health is stupid.

Choosing inexpensive drops to look after stands to Isofra, Pinosolu and Aqua-Laura. All of them are able to get rid of an unpleasant symptom in a short time. 

Reviews

They can be either positive or negative. Much depends on the individual characteristics of the body, the method of taking and the problem that needed to be eliminated.

In general, many drops from the common cold are very popular. This is due to the fact that modern medicines can be relieved after the first use. Thus, almost every second means works.

The only thing that can cause a problem is in side effects. Many people are able to experience the overdrying of the nasal mucosa. In addition, against this background there is burning and sneezing. In some cases, the runny nose does not go away, but on the contrary intensifies. All this directly depends on how the person took the funds and whether he has a hypersensitivity to the components of a drug. Therefore, it can be precisely said that the drops from the cold have both positive and negative feedback.
