How to use for adenoids in children?

With adenoiditis, inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil occurs, as a result of which it swells and increases in size. Depending on the size of the tonsil, there are 4 degrees of adenoids, among which the 1st is considered the lightest, and the 4th is considered the most severe.

Typically, signs of the disease become apparent at 2–4 years of age, when the child begins to attend preschool institutions and encounter a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. They are:

prolonged runny nose;
constant snoring at night;
mucus flowing down the back wall of the nasopharynx;
attacks of dry cough, etc.

Not so long ago, removal of adenoids was considered the only way to treat pathology, but modern otolaryngologists and even popular pediatrician E. O. Komarovsky advise not to make such radical decisions until the age of 6–7 years.

By this age, with proper care of the child, timely treatment of acute respiratory infections and exacerbations of adenoiditis, the disease can regress on its own, that is, go away.

ACC, which is widely prescribed by otolaryngologists for adenoids, will help with this. It can be used as drops and an inhalation product.

The medication is especially effective in the initial stages of pathology. It helps eliminate swelling, which usually causes patients the greatest discomfort.

The use of the drug in the form of inhalation allows it to be delivered directly to the inflamed tissues of the pharyngeal tonsil, where drops cannot reach. This leads to the rapid elimination of the symptoms of adenoiditis and the subsidence of the inflammatory process.

ENT specialists are prescribed a 3-5-day course of inhalations in combination with corticosteroids, colloidal silver preparations, homeopathic remedies, etc. This is enough to relieve acute inflammation.[ads-pc-1][ads-mob-1]

How does the drug work? What's included

ACC is present in the domestic pharmaceutical market in two forms:

powder for oral administration;
solution for infusion.

Each of them has its own indications for use and composition. But for the treatment of diseases of the ENT organs in children, the last form of release is mainly used - a solution.

It contains exclusively 5 percent aminocaproic acid, and saline and water for injection are used as solvents.

It is packaged in bottles of different sizes. But bottles of 100 and 250 ml are more common.

The drug is not produced in tablet form. But there are its analogues, presented on the market in the following dosage form: Tranexam, Tugina, Trenax, etc.

Such an extensive list of indications for the use of ACC is due to the large number of pharmacological properties of the drug. It provides:

hemostatic effect, since it is one of the components of the blood coagulation system;
antiallergic effect, as it plays an important role in the reactions of the immune system;
decongestant effect, which is explained by blocking the development of allergic reactions;
antiviral effect, due to binding to cell components and preventing the ability of viruses to produce substances necessary for their life.

It also reduces the permeability of vessel walls. But this cannot always be considered an advantage of the medication, since sometimes this effect can do a disservice.

For example, if there is a need for urgent administration of a certain drug, its absorption will be somewhat slowed down as a result of the continued effect of ACC.

But such a risk in case of pathologies of the ENT organs is minimal. The only thing that parents can note when using it to treat children is a slightly slower onset of effect when using local corticosteroids, which is incomparable to the positive effect of the drug on the strength of the vessels of the mucous membrane.

Thus, the effect of aminocaproic acid on the nasal mucosa is complex.

And although its use helps eliminate edema, it is not a vasoconstrictor. Therefore, addiction does not develop to it, which allows you to use the medication for an almost unlimited period of time until complete recovery.

Reviews about the application

Aminocaproic acid is sold in several dosages: 10, 50 and 100 ml. The smallest bottle is intended for the nose. The drug is suitable for pregnant women and children.

This acid helped my three year old daughter. I learned about its existence from a pediatrician. I tried this medicine on myself and understood why my daughter lets it drip into her nose without any problems. Aminocaproic acid looks and feels like plain water. Therefore, it does not leave any unpleasant impressions. Evgeniya, 36 years old

The drug is not suitable for the treatment of serious diseases - this is probably the only drawback. Overall a good remedy for preventing a runny nose. As soon as I begin to feel an influx of colds, I immediately inject aminocaproic acid into myself and my children.

Either I start the procedures on time, or my children have good immunity, but so far they have never gotten infected from me, ugh ugh. According to the instructions, children need to instill the product for up to 10 days. I drip for no more than 3 days. Tatyana, 43 years old

Aminocaproic acid has been in my children's medicine cabinet for a long time, which perfectly protects my child from a runny nose.

The principle of its action is to reduce blood vessels. As far as I know, the drug is often used after nasal surgery. At the same time, it is excellent as a prophylactic agent.

It can only be purchased in industrial pharmacies. It has several purposes. This depends on the volume of the bottle. The smallest contains 10 ml of acid. Here it is just for the nose. Tamara Aleksandrovna, 49 years old

I took my daughter to see a paid otolaryngologist and she advised me to buy aminocaproic acid. We needed to reduce the swelling.

The effect was noticeable almost immediately after using the medicine. The acid is cheap in price. True, you can only buy it with a prescription. The essence of the drug is to narrow blood vessels, which helps remove swelling and cope with a runny nose.

Another advantage I would like to include is the fact that acid, unlike other vasoconstrictors, is not addictive. Karina, 33 years old

I have two children with a slight age difference: one is 3 years old, the other is 5 years old. The eldest fell ill and walked around with snot, and the youngest became infected.

As soon as I cured one, the second one managed to infect my brother again. It was not possible to cure both of them at the same time. The runny nose returned again and again. I was advised to buy aminocaproic acid. Since it is inexpensive, I decided to try it.

I wouldn't lose much. Moreover, it does not cause any harm or addictive effect. I want to say that this drug became my salvation. It became easier for the children to breathe and they recovered faster. Alexander, 38 years old
