Adenoiditis: indirect indication
Not every consumer and not even every doctor knows that Tonsilotren can be taken not only for inflammatory diseases of the pharynx, but also for adenoiditis - inflammation of the nasopharyngeal tonsil. A special feature of this disease is the difficulty of treatment: as a rule, it is not easy to treat, and often parents and doctors struggle with hypertrophied adenoid tissue for years, and the disease sometimes cannot be overcome with medication.
Treatment of inflammation of the nasopharyngeal tonsil is primarily based on reducing the severity of the inflammatory process. This allows you to reduce hyperemia and swelling of the adenoids and, therefore, restore normal breathing. Tonsilotren is successfully used in the complex treatment of adenoiditis, including long-term treatment. The homeopathic origin of the drug allows you not to worry about the appropriateness and safety of its use in children, regardless of age.
It should be noted that an increase in adenoid tissue is often accompanied by an increase in mucus secretion from the inflamed mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. In order to reduce the production of mucous secretion, improve its rheological properties (reduce viscosity) and facilitate the outflow of adenoiditis, another homeopathic drug produced by the German Homeopathic Union, Cinnabsin, is often prescribed. The use of Tonsilotren and Cinnabsin in combination can increase the effectiveness of treatment of hypertrophied adenoids.
Homeopathic medicine used for acute and chronic tonsillitis. The drug has an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates regeneration processes, and helps to reduce hypertrophied tonsils. Stimulates immunity.
