Most often, for respiratory diseases, the upper respiratory tract, namely the nasal passages, is the entrance gate. Often viruses linger on the mucosa, creating a local inflammatory process and provoking rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases. Of course, each parent tries to protect his child from colds as much as possible, but still children often get sick, and this happens mainly because of a weakened immune system.
Local therapy
Today, the development of pharmaceuticals does not stand still, in connection with which new drugs are being released that allow changing the treatment tactics to a more sparing option than it was before. One of the brightest proofs of the above is the local exposure agent Isofra, which just avoids complications and the use of systemic antibacterial drugs. The main substance of this medication is framycetin, an antibiotic of the aminoglycoside group . The Isofra product for a child cannot be used until the baby is one year old. And its direct use is possible only after preliminary cleansing of the nasal passages.
Operating principle
The Isofra medication gives significant results already on the 2nd – 3rd day of treatment, which is reflected in a decrease in symptoms or its intensity. The drug’s speed is explained by the direct (local) effect of the antibacterial composition directly on the affected area. That is why the Isofra medication is the most optimal for the child an option in solving the problem, however, it should be remembered that it is not worth using it for more than a week, because local dysbiosis (disturbance of microflora) may develop, which entails serious complications eniya. If efficiency is not observed, it means that the bacterial strains, which provoked the disease are resistant to this antibiotic group.
