For complete treatment, an integrated approach is needed. Initially, you need to find out what kind of disease has affected the body, since the symptoms often overlap, but the treatment is different. Sinusitis is currently well studied, the doctor can easily diagnose it in the initial stages and can prescribe for treatment, among other things, “Fluimucil - antibiotic IT” (FA IT) in the form of inhalations.
What is sinusitis?
Before taking Fluimucil - an IT antibiotic, you need to determine whether you really have sinusitis, since the symptoms are reminiscent of diseases such as colds, ARVI, runny nose and even flu.
The main symptoms of sinusitis.
- Blockage of mucus or other secretions, including purulent substances, in the nasal cavity.
- Pain that can be crippling and can be reflected in any area of the head. In particular, painful sensations arise and persist for a long time both in the nose and in the projection of the maxillary sinuses.
- Fullness and feeling of pressure in the projection of the paranasal sinuses.
- Swelling of the soft tissues of the face and eyelids.
- A decrease in the overall tone of the body, which manifests itself in weakness, rapid fatigue, even when doing usual things.
- Body temperature can rise to high values of 38 - 40 º C.
- Paroxysmal cough.
- Sleep patterns are disrupted and memory deteriorates.
It is similar to the symptoms of ordinary flu, but there are fundamental differences, primarily regarding local symptoms. In case of bacterial sinusitis, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea and pain are not eliminated by symptomatic medications, so it is worth using a serious antibiotic, in particular, it could be “Fluimucil - IT antibiotic”.
Parental reviews of Rinofluimucil are excellent and encouraging
Even parents who are wary of medications, in general, prefer homeopathic and traditional methods of treating adenoids in children, support the use of this medicine.
Articles on the topic Inflammation of the adenoids in children
Elena Petrovna R. (Moscow, 69 years old):
“I am an elderly person, a grandmother and already a great-grandmother. I am suspicious of medications for children. I think it is harmful to “stuff” a child with chemicals. It is better to treat adenoids in children with safe, ancient remedies - instill onion juice, rinse with salt water. But it so happened that three of my great-grandchildren (3, 5, and 7 years old) immediately fell ill with adenoids. I tried to treat them the old fashioned way, but it didn’t work. Adenoids in the noses do not go away. The pediatrician insisted that, as long as the situation was not threatening, we instill Rinofluimucil. I had to agree (both my parents and I). Can you imagine, to my surprise, the adenoid lesions in the noses of my great-grandchildren began to decrease, and then disappeared completely. Miracles! Did not expect!"
Natalya K. (25 years old), mother of 4-year-old Ilyusha, Vitebsk):
“Ilyusha is a sickly boy. Both pregnancy is difficult and childbirth is difficult. The child was born at 7 months old. Constantly ill with acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections. Poor health, and then there’s a new problem - nasopharyngeal adenoiditis. Snores in his sleep, cannot breathe freely through his nose, constant cough with sputum, snot (green). The ENT doctor prescribed treatment with nasal sprays as a control version. To see how the child’s treatment progresses, maybe we can do without surgery. “Rinofluimucil” helped the best (than “Nasonex”, “JOB - baby”). So far, everything is fine after the course of treatment with Rinofluimucil. Ilya “breathed” through his nose, the nasal discharge stopped, and there was no cough with sputum. Thank you “Rinofluimucil”!”
Composition of the drug "Fluimucil - antibiotic IT"
The main active ingredient of the drug is a complex compound that combines acetylcysteine and thiamphenicol. The latter refers to broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs.
Thiamphenicol, being an antibiotic, has a bactericidal effect - so pathogenic bacteria no longer synthesize the protein of their cell membranes, which inhibits their reproduction.
The drug is active against:
- gram-positive bacteria (streptococci, corynebacteria, staphylococci, litseria, clostridia);
- gram-negative (Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella and others).
Acetylcysteine helps facilitate the penetration of the antibiotic thiamphenicol into the lung tissue, and also inhibits the sedimentation of bacteria on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
Differences between “Fluimucil - IT antibiotic” and simple “Fluimucil”
First of all, you need to separate two drugs with the same word in the name, but completely different in their effects and fundamentally different in their components.
So, there is simply “Fluimucil”, which contains a maximum concentration of acetylcysteine - a mucolytic agent, which is contained in a diluted form both in FA IT and in other drugs, for example, “Rinofluimucil”.
This component serves to ensure that the patient can freely expectorate sputum and excess mucus or purulent exudate formed in the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. Acetylcysteine destroys molecular bonds, diluting sputum, which acts as a favorable environment for the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby indirectly helping to reduce bacterial contamination.
In addition to acetylcysteine (ACC), Fluimucil - an IT antibiotic contains a second active ingredient - Thiamphenicol.
Reviews from clinicians, pharmacists, microbiologists
Inflammatory processes in the nasopharyngeal sector in children (acute adenoiditis) are often accompanied by copious discharge of purulent exudate. For example, a known runny nose or coughing spit from the throat. These sputums, varied in type and characteristics, are pathological, filled with viral toxins. A child should not swallow them; he must be taught to spit and blow his nose. Why?
The infected mass of mucus flows through the larynx into the esophagus, enters the upper respiratory tract, thereby causing a cough. Depending on the intensity and quantitative volume of toxic mucous secretions, the cough can be dry or wet. Nasal mucus – liquid (transparent) or viscous, thick (green).
It is imperative to treat infected mucus discharge, that is, take effective elimination measures. Because their long-term “presence” in the nasopharynx, in the respiratory ducts, in the pulmonary alveoli leads to an active inflammatory process in these vital organs - follicular tonsillitis, obstructive bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy.
Articles on the topic Ointment for nasal adenoiditis in children: “Vishnevsky Ointment”
For treatment, medications are used that contain, in addition to potent antibiotics, additionally mucolytics (thinning substances) and reparants (substances that restore damaged DNA cell biosynthesis). The complex combination of these chemical and pharmacological components ensures stable dynamics:
- Destruction (phagocytic genesis) of pathogenic microflora;
- Blocking the mechanism of chemotaxis (penetration, movement of pathogenic microbes) into the epidermal layers of neighboring organs;
- Destruction of membranes of pathogenic gene strains at the cellular level;
- Liquefaction of concentrated mucus, free removal of it from the child’s body;
- Remission, rehabilitation of genetically damaged epidermis of the tonsils (healing of erosions, ulcers, purulent abscesses on them).
Thanks to the vasoconstrictor properties of such combined drugs, a decrease in ascites phenomena (tissue hydrolysis, excessive swelling of mucous surfaces) is achieved.
The above-mentioned clinical, positive results can be achieved with the regulated use of a nasal spray, like “Rinofluimucil” for adenoids in children . Reviews, from the point of view of pediatric visceral medicine, are the most positive. Practicing pediatricians, ENT doctors, and otolaryngologists widely use this drug in the method of conservative treatment of adenoiditis.
Pharmacists, together with microbiologists, emphasize the distinctive positive features of Rinofluimucil. The medicinal spray owes these exceptional factors to 2 effective chemical and pharmacological components:
- Acetylcysteine (antioxidant), which is presented in the medicinal composition “Rinofluimucil” in an amount of 10 mg;
- Tuaminoheptane sulfate (sympathomimetic amino acid) in a 5 milligram volume.
The named synthetic microelements are excellent repellents (substances that destroy the toxins of the virus-carrying pathogenic mass). List of auxiliary composition, from additional components enhances the healing effects of "Rinofluimucil":
- Dithiothreitol;
- Sodium group – hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, edetate, hydroxide, phosphate;
- Monohydrate;
- Benzalkonium chloride;
- Sorbate (E 420);
- Hypromellose (glucoside);
- Mint flavored distilled water;
- Ethanol 96%.
The medication is easy to use and is equipped with a spray cap. Available in the form of a solution for dispersive inhalation of the nasal passages, throat, and oral cavity.
Side effects
Unfortunately, there are no perfect and universal medicines that suit absolutely everyone. Each person may have a reaction to the substances included in the drug.
Regarding “Fluimucil - IT antibiotic” there are not many side effects, because it does not reach the most vulnerable place - the gastrointestinal tract, which means that the intestinal microflora does not receive any effect, not a single beneficial bacteria in your intestines will be harmed. But for diseases of the ear and throat, the therapeutic effect is priceless.
But not everything is so perfect; side effects also occur in a number of cases and are sometimes pronounced:
- severe but short-term cough. You can avoid mucus discharge and cough if you follow the correct breathing technique when inhaling;
- burning, sore and irritating sensations in the nasopharynx. You have to be patient, it happens to many, but it goes away on its own and usually does not reach a painful and unbearable state;
- development of rhinitis. Symptoms of inflammation occur with hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
- vomiting or nausea. It happens when the drug is abused, the permissible doses are exceeded;
- bronchospasm;
- individual allergic reactions;
- stomatitis.
Treatment with Rinofluimucil
Rinofluimucil for adenoids contributes to the positive dynamics of the treatment. It is used in the acute period of adenoiditis in combination with antibiotics. Release form: nasal spray.
The drug belongs to the mucolytic (sputum-digesting) agents. The active substance of Rinofluimucil - acetylcysteine - improves the discharge of exudate, and tuaminoheptane sulfate helps relieve swelling and hyperemia of the nasal passages. Rinofluimucil for adenoids in children is used as a preparatory step before taking topical antibiotics.
Otolaryngologists consider Rinofluimucil one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment of nasopharynx. However, it is worth remembering that the nasal spray does not cure hypertrophied tissue of the tonsils. Therefore, specialists supplement treatment with oral antimicrobial drugs.
Therapeutic effect of Rinofluimucil
Rinofluimucil nasal spray is a drug with mucolytic and vasoconstrictor effects. The active substances included in the drug have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The therapeutic effect when treating adenoids with Rinofluimucil is achieved instantly - it becomes easier for the patient to breathe, and the abundant outflow of mucus from the nose stops. The drug is also used as a treatment for complications of adenoids in children: otitis media, sinusitis, rhinitis.
Analogues of Rinofluimucil:
- Combined antibiotic fluimucil - solution for inhalation. It contains thiamphenicol in combination with a mucolytic agent.
- Effervescent tablets for oral administration, ready-made solution for oral administration – fluimucil.
- Acetylcysteine – tablet form, and powder for preparing a solution.
Antibiotics for adenoids in children are prescribed to destroy the pathological bacterial flora of the nasopharynx, and Rinofluimucil is prescribed to relieve local edema and hyperemia.
Indications for use
1. Rinofluimucil for children is prescribed for:
- sinusitis;
- chronic rhinitis;
- rhinitis, based on reflex irritation of the respiratory tract (pungent odor, cold air);
- acute rhinitis, accompanied by purulent, thick, mucous discharge;
- adenoiditis in children of chronic form;
- otitis.
2. Fluimucil - an antibiotic prescribed by ENT doctors for diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, with the sensitivity of microorganisms to this antibiotic, as well as for adenoid inflammation of the nasopharyngeal ring in children.
3. Acetylcysteine tablets are not prescribed for the treatment of adenoids in children.
Contraindications to the use of "Fluimucil - IT antibiotic"
The drug is contraindicated in:
- anemia;
- leukopenia;
- thrombocytopenia;
- hypersensitivity to one of the components of the drug.
The drug should be taken with caution in the presence of liver failure and chronic renal failure and in children under 2 years of age, due to age-related characteristics of kidney function.
Pregnant women are not recommended, but are not prohibited, since in some cases the benefits outweigh the negative effects. If it is necessary to take the drug during breastfeeding, then during therapy you should stop feeding the baby with breasts and expressed breast milk.
Directions for use and dosage
For inhalation use in adults, the recommended dosage is 250 mg 1 - 2 times a day; children - 125 mg 1 - 2 times a day.
Local application
To administer the medicine into the paranasal sinuses, you need 1 - 2 ml of solution (for adults, dissolve in 4 ml of water for injection - 500 mg of dry matter, for children - 250 mg).
Moreover, this procedure should be carried out only in a medical institution.
Features of application. We use a nebulizer
Before inhalation, everything must be carefully prepared.
Doctors and specialists advise using a compression nebulizer - a special inhaler designed to strictly adhere to dosages and create an aerosol with a certain particle size.
There are a number of recommendations for preparing your body to take Fluimucil - an IT antibiotic:
- clean the mucous membrane of everything foreign, rid the nasal passages of mucus. You can take medicine for a runny nose, drops or spray, which will clear the nasal cavity at least temporarily. If a warm saline solution helps, that’s ideal, otherwise effective drops are needed;
- Eating should be completed some time before inhalation in order to adjust your body to a calm mood;
- During the procedure there should be even breathing.
It is difficult to comply with these requirements during an acute illness, but these are the recommendations of specialists and in order to avoid complications it is better to follow them.
Inhalation
- Wearing rubber gloves, disinfect the nebulizer before starting the procedure.
- The packaging of “Fluimucil - IT antibiotic” contains detailed instructions on how to mix the solution for the inhalation procedure, which must be strictly followed in order to comply with all the rules. 4 ml of water (it comes with the drug) per 1 ampoule is the standard.
- If you take the ready-made solution, which is contained in ampoules, then you just need to open the ampoule.
- Do not allow the product to come into contact with rubber surfaces or metal products.
- Using a syringe, carefully inject the mixture into the nebulizer reservoir.
- Using special nose attachments or a mask, we begin the inhalation procedure and carry out one procedure from 3 to 12 minutes, depending on the age and individual characteristics of the body.
Do not try to prepare inhalation materials for future use for the entire course; mix immediately before use so that the product does not deteriorate or lose its healing properties.
