All allergy sufferers agree with the statement that the most painful symptom of this disease is a runny nose. Constant urges to sneeze, tickling nose, incessant nasal mucus - all this prevents a person from living peacefully. And in such a situation, the first and most important assistant will be drops in the nose. However, they must be selected carefully, constantly looking into the composition (this will help protect a person from another allergic reaction - already to the components of the drug).
In comparison with other drugs (tablets, etc.), anti-allergic drops, the price of which is much lower, are convenient by all criteria. Their cost, as a rule, is small, and the effect, on the contrary, is better.
Allergy
One of the most unpleasant diseases is allergy. Scientists claim that every fifth person on the planet is familiar with this type of disease. A common symptom can be called a runny nose, but itching, swelling, hearing loss, and redness of some areas of the skin are also found. In this case, a runny nose can be chronic and not leave a person at any time of the year. The most effective medicine can be called anti-allergic drops in the nose. People’s reviews about them are rarely bad: they act quickly, are effective, are convenient for use, lasting, do not cause a feeling of drowsiness.
What are the drops?
The assortment of drops is very large today, so you can always find a suitable option for an adult and a small allergy sufferer.
All existing drops are divided into five types:
These include drugs such as Allergodil (the price varies from 360 to 613 rubles), Levocabastine (price - from 250 to 305 rubles).
Their quick help to the patient is explained by the property of blocking the receptors responsible for the symptoms of an allergic reaction. They are antihistamines.
Good drugs in this group are: Flixonase (price from 480 to 645 rubles), Avamis (price from 380 to 575 rubles).
As a rule, hormonal drugs are prescribed only in extreme cases, when all the others have been tested, but there is no benefit from them. Their main advantage is that they are not able to enter the bloodstream, so there are practically no side effects.
With allergies, these drugs are most often used. The most famous among them are Naftizin (price from 144 to 215 rubles), Galazolin (price from 180 to 331 rubles), Sanorin (price from 205 to 316 rubles), Nazivin (price from 86 up to 216 rubles). Among the main disadvantages of vasoconstrictor drugs are addiction and overdrying of the nasal mucosa.
Such anti-allergic nasal drops are very common. The most effective among them is "Vilosen" (price from 55 to 320 rubles). It helps as much as possible with rhinitis, which manifests itself due to plant pollen, affecting the immune system.
Among the common funds are Sanorin and Vibrocil (price from 220 to 280 rubles). Combined species combine several other types of drugs, so they are anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and also vasoconstrictive. Thanks to the combination of all these properties, they give a quick and lasting result.
Runny nose for allergies in children
If a person stops breathing normally through the nose, he begins to use his mouth for this process. This is accompanied by drying of the mucous membrane, which is inconvenient. Very young children have not yet learned how to breathe with their mouths, so a lack of air is accompanied by a strong cry. It is precisely because of this that we urgently need to consult a doctor and attempt to “empty” the nose.
What drops should be used for nasal congestion in a child?
Anti-allergic drops for children should be chosen with concern. The safest and most effective are those:
- Vasoconstrictor drugs are used to relieve nasal congestion. They affect the swelling of the nasal cavity, completely removing it. Suitable drugs are Nazivin, Nazol Baby, and Rinazolin. With a lack of funds, you can purchase alternative options. Any drops that last for at least 12 hours (prolonged) will do.
- In order to get rid of the “remnants” of the common cold, when the transparent nasal mucus was replaced by a green viscous fluid, antiseptic antiallergic drops are prescribed in the nose. In this case, the child can take "Albucid" or "Protargol."
- Antibiotics or antibacterial drops will be prescribed if the child has an advanced form of allergy. However, it should be remembered that an antibiotic is not the most suitable medicine for children.
- Drugs aimed at getting rid of the allergy as a whole, and not its symptoms, can be vasoconstrictive. In principle, both the above medicines and Allergodil are suitable, the price of which is high, but very justifying the expectations, Vibrocil and Halozolin.
- Among homeopathic drops, the most effective cannot be distinguished, since basically all act on the same basis. The doctor himself chooses based on his preferences. In case of allergic rhinitis, "Edas-131", "Delufen", "Euphorbium compositum" are prescribed.
It is allowed to take any drugs for no more than one week, as they gradually cause dependence, which is fraught with even more serious consequences.
Antiallergic nasal drops for pregnant women
Firstly, what should be remembered by a pregnant woman: in no case should you take into account the recommendations of relatives, friends or neighbors. Secondly, even with minor symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Drops are excellent remedies:
- with the content of sea salt;
- with oils, in particular essential.
Occasionally prescribed homeopathic or created independently at home.
Allergy drugs for pregnant women
The safest way to get rid of allergies is to use saline. Suitable are Aqua Maris and Marimer. Due to the fact that they consist of sea salt, they easily moisturize the nasal mucosa and quickly relieve inflammation.
"Pinosol" is another effective tool. It includes mint, eucalyptus and pine. Thanks to this composition, a woman’s breathing is quickly facilitated.
Antiallergic nasal drops "Salin" are considered a good drug due to the fact that they do not have a vasoconstrictor effect and do not contain various hormonal substances. They restore breathing in a short time.
"Rinitol" and "Euphorbium" are prescribed most often, since they do not have side effects for pregnant women.
Antiallergic nasal drops: rules for use
It is necessary to remember one property of antiallergic drops: they only relieve all symptoms, helping a person fight allergies, but they do not affect its cause in any way.
The doctor needs to know about certain drops, how they are taken, what time and what adverse reactions are possible. In no case should you increase the dose and frequency of administration, thinking that this will improve the effect. On the contrary, such actions will only aggravate the development of allergies. In addition, allergists can prescribe a specific therapeutic treatment and establish the cause of the disease itself.
How to get rid of the addiction?
Drops are easily addictive, therefore, if this occurs, it is urgent to consult an otolaryngologist (ENT). He, in turn, will prescribe special solutions for washing the nasal cavity and hormonal drugs that have anti-inflammatory properties. Thanks to this solution, it is possible to return the tone to the vessels and the mucous membrane itself, as well as to restore sensitivity.
With the appearance of an internal infection, ENT usually prescribes antibiotics that relieve inflammation.
Antiallergic nasal drops should be taken with great concern, while observing the dosage and limiting the time of use.
