Rengalin from which cough?

Rengalin is active against many types of cough. It acts against both the unproductive (dry) cough and the productive (wet) cough. Also helps with residual phenomena of various inflammatory, infectious diseases, with coughing of allergic, viral etiology. One of the few drugs that is effective even with regard to adenoid cough.

Indications of the rengalina for coughing

Rengalin is prescribed for diseases that are accompanied by a cough. The drug is effective in acute and chronic diseases, with a productive and unproductive, and even obstructive cough. Assign for cough, caused by bacterial microflora, viruses and fungi, as well as allergies, swelling. It is recommended to use with pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia, and other diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.

Rengalin with dry cough

The drug helps in a relatively short time to transfer dry cough to wet. Dry cough is unproductive, because it does not bring relief to the patient, but exhausts it with its duration, irritation, perspiration. Sputum discharge does not occur.

The use of rengalin in the form of syrup, tablets, medicine, solution are equally effective. But for adults it is better to use pills because they additionally moisturize the throat, treat it with an anesthetic, which significantly reduces cough and eliminates irritation, burning and pain in the throat area.

Rengalin from a wet cough

Wet cough is productive, in which sputum is discharged, bronchi, lungs, respiratory tracts are cleared. The appearance of a wet cough is a good sign, because it means a quick recovery. This is due to the fact that with a damp cough sputum easily separates and exits the respiratory tract, thereby reducing cough. Cough is characterized by wheezing, sometimes whistles, which are most clearly audible in the area of the bronchi and lungs. After coughing, airway is released and this brings significant relief to the person.

With regard to this cough, all forms of the drug are effective. But many doctors recommend the use of a solution or syrup, because it has a higher degree of diffusion and more easily penetrates into the lung tissue, helping to eliminate inflammation, scarring, coughing.

Rengalin with adenoid cough

The drug in any form can be used to treat adenoid cough. Adenoiditis is often accompanied by a cough. Cough can be of various kinds and is quite unpleasant and debilitating for a person. The problem is that it affects mainly children. The most vulnerable to inflammation of the adenoid tissue are children aged 1 to 14 years. After 14 years, tissue degeneration occurs mainly, and the disease ceases to disturb the person.

Adenoids become inflamed with frequent colds and allergic diseases, the presence of a foci of infection. Normally, the adenoid part is the first obstacle to infection, which does not allow its entry into the body. This causes inflammation and hypertrophy of the tissue. During recovery, the tissue returns to normal. But, if the child gets sick too often, the tissue does not have time to recover and return to its former position. It remains hypertrophic and inflamed, resulting in, after a while itself becomes a hotbed of infection. 

Cough in this case indicates a strong inflammation and irritation of the mucosa and receptors. Cough develops quickly enough, it is intrusive, not self-passing. Requires compulsory treatment. It can become permanent, often occurs at night. This is facilitated by the horizontal position during sleep.

Cough in adenoiditis is considered as a reflex reaction that occurs in response to irritation of pharyngeal receptors, nasopharynx and adenoid tissue proper. Most often, mucus acts as an irritant, which flows down the wall of the nasopharynx and pharynx. Gradually, the mucous membrane dries up, as nasal breathing is disrupted, and edema and chronic inflammation develop. This leads to the fact that the pharyngeal walls become more sensitive and permeable.

Rengalin often becomes a real salvation for those who suffer from adenoid cough, because it does not allow people to sleep, exhausts them and helps to weaken the body. Acts pretty quickly.

Cough medicine Rengalin

The medicine is used mainly for chronic cough, and is also recommended for the treatment of a damp cough. This is due to the high ability to penetrate deep into the tissues.

The mechanism of action is a selective effect on the various links of the cough reflex. Most often, the central cough reflex is inhibited and the excitability of these links decreases. This action can be achieved due to the modification of histamine-dependent H1 receptors, and the activation of bradykinin-dependent B1 receptors.

During treatment with the drug, there is a depression of the centers of pain sensitivity, the main place of localization of which is the thalamus. It blocks transmission of pain impulses in the cerebral cortex. At the same time, parallel blocking of signals from the periphery occurs. This effect can be achieved by reducing the isolation of algogens synthesized by tissues and blood plasma. This helps to reduce the cough reflex, but at the same time, does not cause dependence and overdose.
