Which chest pack is best for coughs?
Often a cough appears after hypothermia or a cold. To prevent it from becoming chronic, timely treatment should be started.. This will help prevent inflammation from spreading to the bronchi and lungs. The use of a herbal mixture reduces irritation of the mucous membrane. For therapy to be effective, several preparations should be used simultaneously, but only on the recommendation of the attending physician.
For dry, obsessive cough, you can use set No. 1, because... it contains oregano, which has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. In some cases, with such a cough, it is allowed to simultaneously use mixtures No. 1 and No. 2; to do this, you just need to mix the two drugs in equal dosages. For a wet cough, it is better to use No. 4 and No. 2 to remove sputum.
For children
You should choose a herbal remedy to treat your baby only after consulting a pediatrician. After all, any herb can have a strong negative effect on a child’s body, so you can’t take it yourself. When selecting infant formula for cough, the doctor must take into account age and the presence of concomitant diseases. It is not recommended to give a herbal preparation to a baby who is not yet one year old. It is better to brew one of the plants contained in its composition - for example, thyme, chamomile or licorice. As a rule, based on age, the pediatrician may prescribe:
- children over 3 years old – collection No. 4;
- after 12 years – No. 2 and No. 3;
- regarding therapy with collection No. 1, you should consult a doctor.
For dry cough
If the patient has a dry, severe cough, collection No. 1 can be used for treatment, since its components have excellent bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. An infusion of a mixture of marshmallow, coltsfoot and oregano protects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, reduces their irritation, and because of this, the urge to cough is reduced. Sometimes, for a dry cough, the doctor may prescribe the simultaneous use of sets No. 1 and No. 2 - for this you just need to mix the drugs in equal quantities.
During pregnancy
Doctors do not recommend using breast herbal mixtures during pregnancy, because All of these kits contain components that are contraindicated for women expecting a baby. Set No. 1 contains oregano, which is prohibited for pregnant women; in No. 2 and No. 4 - licorice root, which can cause tachycardia and disrupt hormonal levels. In addition, it can cause headaches. Mixture No. 3 includes anise fruits, so it is also contraindicated for pregnant women. It is better to take separate infusions of chamomile and marshmallow. Any treatment for a woman must be coordinated with a gynecologist.
During lactation
When resorting to treatment with herbal remedies during breastfeeding, you should take into account the degree of impact of each component on the baby’s body. Experts, as a rule, do not recommend using breast milk on your own, because... The child may develop an allergy to herbs. Mixture No. 3 is prohibited for use by young mothers, because it contains pine buds that inhibit lactation. Only on the advice of a doctor can you drink herbal infusions. It is better during lactation to take decoctions made from one component: rose hips, wild rosemary leaves, peppermint.
For bronchitis
Herbal tea for bronchitis is the most popular remedy. High efficiency and safety of herbal components helps to use it in patients of different ages and genders. As a rule, for the treatment of bronchitis, the patient can choose any of the preparations that suit him in composition. Often in the treatment of inflammatory disease of the bronchi, product number 2 is used, because it consists of herbs that are characterized by bronchodilator properties.
For pneumonia
A disease that causes inflammation of the lungs is called pneumonia. With this disease, the alveoli, bronchioles, and bronchi are susceptible to infection. Herbal treatment is often used in the acute period of the disease. For the course of therapy, preparations No. 2 and No. 3, No. 4 with anti-inflammatory and expectorant effects are suitable. You can take them at the same time, mixing in equal quantities.
With tracheitis
An inflammatory infectious disease of the trachea or tracheitis is often accompanied by a paroxysmal cough with the release of thick sputum. As a rule, along with taking medications, the doctor may prescribe herbal mixtures to alleviate the patient’s condition. Product number 1 is considered the most effective in the fight against the disease. The herbs that are part of the medicinal set relieve inflammation well, help the patient cough up, and are effective against viral tracheitis.
For sputum removal
If the patient develops a wet cough with sputum discharge, it is imperative to speed up its elimination. The urge to cough is a normal reaction of the body to an irritant. Thanks to the jerky spasms that occur as a result of this process, phlegm begins to come out of the bronchi. To speed up this process, the doctor may prescribe the simultaneous use of herbal sets No. 2 and No. 4.
