Rhinitis is an annoying nuisance that can happen to every person, regardless of the season and state of health. Nevertheless, the industry is developing, and if you delve deeply, you can find effective cures for rhinitis with a minimum of side effects and a prolonged effect.
Consider what types of nasal congestion drops are currently leading the market and are considered truly effective.
10. Hormonal drugs
Many are surprised that the hormonal components may be related to the nasal mucosa, but this is precisely so. The relevance of their use increases when rhinitis occurs in severe form or is accompanied by allergies. However, with uncontrolled use, hormones are enemies that weaken the body's immune response and increase the risk of pathogens multiplying. Among the drugs, we recommend paying attention to Nazonex, Bacon, Nasobe, etc. Many of them can be used for children from 3-6 years old, which proves their relative safety and low risk of side effects.
9. Antimicrobial agents
Special preparations for the common cold are fighting with pathological organisms, which are well known to everyone. Pinosol in the form of ointments, creams, a drop and a spray consists for the most part of essential oils, which reduce mucus secretion, kill germs and are not addictive. Dr. Tice Nazollin contains eucalyptus oil and xylometazoline - effective remedies for pathogenic microflora. Bactroban copes well with infectious and bacterial rhinitis, reduces the symptoms of purulent discharge from the upper respiratory tract, and effectively destroys staphylococci.
8. Vasoconstrictor drops
Sometimes, to reduce mucus secretion, it is enough to instill vasoconstrictor drops into the nose - the most popular remedies for rhinitis. They effectively reduce swelling of the mucosa, quickly “piercing” the nose and allowing you to breathe calmly. Basically, such drugs are based on the following active ingredients: naphazoline, phenylerin, xylometazoline, oxymetazoline. Of the drugs with xylometazoline, Farmazolin and Galazolin are most effective. Known to all, naphthyzin is based on naphazoline. From the oxymetazoline group, preference is given to the popular Nazol. The phenylephrine group is allowed to be used even by children of a younger age group (Vibrocil, Nazol Baby, etc.).
7. Based on silver
Few people have heard that there are special drops for nasal congestion based on silver. The substance allows you to quickly overcome congestive rhinitis, to reorganize the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, to reduce their inflammation and swelling. The most effective Collargolum in the form of a 2% solution for instillation, as well as Protargolum. All of them are based on colloidal silver molecules, which perfectly bind mucus and facilitate nasal breathing.
6. Antiviral
Often, a runny nose occurs against a background of flu and other viral diseases. As we know, there is no 100% cure for viruses - the body itself must defeat the pathogen and stop the inflammatory process, and such drops only help to accelerate the effect and reduce swelling and sensitivity of the mucosa. They say that there are already drugs created by genetic engineering using active substances from the blood of a donor. We do not know how these components are used in drops from a cold, but you can pay attention to powerful and effective means. For example, it well removes the symptoms of Grippferon, which is not addictive and does not provoke the emergence of resistant strains. There is evidence that with these drops, the healing process is accelerated by 2 times.
5. Moisturizing drops
It is a pity that not all modern doctors explain to patients that it is important not only to treat the mucosa, but also to moisturize it. Often, a runny nose is the cause of normal dryness, which leads to the appearance of microcracks and damage in which microbes develop. Moisturizers will help restore and regenerate mucous tissue, facilitate nasal breathing and quickly remove accumulated mucus. Nevertheless, we recommend using them with therapeutic (therapeutic) drops. Moisturizing options are mainly made from mineral or sea water, enriched with various salts, vitamins and minerals, which contribute to the activation of the movement of cilia inside the nose. Among effective means, Salin, Aqua Maris, Marimer and others are distinguished.
4. Vegetable drops
Such drugs are suitable for lovers of natural treatment with a minimum of side effects. Esters and extracts of herbs in the composition allow you to effectively "punch" the nose and clean the channels of mucus. Peppermint, eucalyptus and cooling menthol in the composition are most beneficial. The latter also acts on cold nasal receptors, making breathing easier and slightly reducing swelling. A popular remedy is Sinupret, which reduces inflammation and liquefies mucus well.
3. Antibacterial agents
All people know that antibiotics (even in the form of nasal drops) cannot be used haphazardly because of the increased risk of side effects. Basically, ENT prescribes them for inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, sinusitis, various forms of bacterial and infectious rhinitis. If the nose is blocked with sinusitis, then Bioparox, Fyuzafyunzhin, and also Pharmacetin will be most effective.
2. Drops for allergies and edema
In people with a respiratory allergy to wool, dust, volatile chemicals, pollen, and other irritants, a runny nose is a typical symptom. For its treatment, agents are used that narrow the vessels well, eliminate severe swelling that blocks the nasal passages. It is important to restore full nasal breathing as quickly as possible, for which Vibrocil or Sanori-Analergin is used. The latter is highly effective, but also addictive, so it is often prescribed in a weekly course.
1. Homeopathic drops
Many patients do not trust homeopathy, and yet it has already proved its effectiveness by numerous practical experiments. The most popular against rhinitis are Edas-131 and Euphorbium Compositum. Homeopathy is able to weaken the reproduction of pathogens, eliminate redness and swelling of the mucosa, help restore it and strengthen local immunity. Such funds are advised to use in the acute phase of the common cold every 15 minutes for the first two hours.
Remember that when choosing even such a simple medicine as nasal drops, it is important to correctly calculate the dosage and study the composition. You may be allergic to some components, so before applying, do a test application of the product on your finger or lubricate the nostrils. Remember that hormonal, antiviral and antibacterial nasal drops can be prescribed only by the attending otolaryngologist.
