Many parents know first-hand what adenoids are. This is explained by the fact that young children often have this pathology. This disease has several degrees of severity; in some cases, conservative treatment methods can be used, and sometimes surgery is simply necessary. It is worth noting that surgical intervention does not always lead to a complete recovery, which is why parents resort to various alternative methods of treating this pathology. Thuja oil helps with adenoids in children quite well, but before resorting to this method of treatment, you need to understand how this remedy acts on the body.

Adenoids - what are they?

Without the use of a special instrument, the peripharyngeal tonsils are very difficult to see. An ENT doctor can assess their condition during examination using a special mirror. A similar disease, which is often diagnosed in young children, would be more logically called adenoid overgrowth. In this case, the tonsils increase significantly in size, which ultimately leads to various complications. Most often, this pathology is diagnosed in children aged 3 to 7 years.

Symptoms of adenoiditis are the following pathological conditions that parents observe in the baby:

• The child has impaired nasal breathing and often breathes through his mouth, which is especially noticeable during night sleep.
• Although there is no runny nose at all, breathing through the nose is very difficult.
• Rhinitis may occur, which does not go away for a long time, even with appropriate treatment.

According to the famous pediatrician Komarovsky, this disease is dangerous not because of its symptoms, but because of the complications that can arise due to the proliferation of adenoids. The most common complications of adenoiditis include the following pathological conditions:

• Frequent otitis media, which will inevitably lead to hearing loss.
• Inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract will become more frequent.
• The child will often suffer from respiratory infections.
• Prolonged tonsillitis often occurs.

When the tonsils grow, the child’s general immunity decreases, he becomes lethargic and gets tired quickly. If this disease develops in a primary school student, then school performance is noticeably reduced.

If adenoiditis is too advanced, then the child may have serious complications such as enuresis or various neurological disorders.

Quite often, doctors recommend that parents undergo surgery to remove inflamed adenoids in children. But this method of treatment is not justified in all cases, in addition, it can lead to quite negative consequences. That is why parents need to make every effort to solve this problem without involving a surgeon.

Surgery does not guarantee that the child’s adenoids will disappear completely and will not provoke painful conditions.

Can thuja oil help?

The guidelines for the use of thuja oil indicate that it can be prescribed for the growth of adenoids in the nasopharynx, as well as to prevent relapses. This homeopathic medicine gives a good effect, thanks to the special components that it contains. Thuja oil for adenoids in children has the following positive effects on the body:

• Thuja oil has good immunostimulating properties, due to this the child’s body becomes less susceptible to harmful factors that come from the external environment. The proliferation of adenoid tissue is most often a hereditary pathology, but the trigger is most often bacteria or viruses. Thuja oil helps strengthen the immune system, which means the risk of this disease is reduced.
• The unique homeopathic remedy contains a large number of active components - flavonoids, resins, saponins and some tannins. All of them have a positive effect on metabolic processes that occur in tissues. If you use thuja oil according to the instructions, you can achieve rapid regeneration of epithelial tissues and completely normalize the metabolic processes that occur in the tissues of the nasopharynx.
• The drug has pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. With enlarged adenoids, it is very important to eliminate swelling and inflammation from the nasopharynx, as well as to sanitize the throat.

To understand how effective thuja oil is for treating adenoids in children, you can resort to the results of a medical study. Young patients diagnosed with grade 1-2 overgrowth of adenoids were treated with thuja oil for two weeks, after which time a decrease in the volume of pathological growths, a decrease in inflammation of the nasopharynx, and the absence of any pathogenic flora on the tonsils were noted.

You should not immediately resort to surgery to remove adenoids in a child; first you need to try all conservative treatment methods. But this can only be done under the supervision of a doctor.

How to properly treat yourself with a homeopathic remedy

You need to understand that thuja oil for adenoids for children is not used in its pure form, but in a special homeopathic dilution, which is up to 15%. Such natural preparations can be bought at almost any pharmacy, and the price will be very reasonable. After purchasing the medicine, many parents turn the treasured bottle in their hands and cannot understand how to properly use the oil for adenoids. To effectively treat adenoids with thuja, you must follow a number of recommendations:

• You need to immediately prepare mentally for the fact that the therapy will be quite long. You can expect a noticeable effect no sooner than after a month and a half of regular use of thuja oil. In this case, the treatment is carried out in courses, the oil is instilled for a month and a half, then they take the same break and repeat the course again.
• Adenoids are treated with homeopathic thuja oil only after preliminary treatment of the nasal passages. To cleanse the nose, it is recommended to use nasal drops that contain sea water.
• If the attending physician has not prescribed any other treatment, then follow the standard regimen. The drug is dripped into each nasal passage, 2-3 drops, during the day a similar procedure is carried out up to 3 times;
• The doctor may choose a rather complex treatment regimen. In this case, an anti-inflammatory agent is instilled into the nose, and after 20 minutes, thuja oil is dripped, 2 drops into each nasal passage. The duration of such treatment is a week, after which an antimicrobial drug is added to the therapy. The duration of such treatment is one and a half months, then a break is taken for about a month and treatment is resumed.
• According to Dr. Komarovsky, a very effective treatment is in which the nose is first washed with sea water, and then 4 drops of thuja oil are dripped into each nostril. The duration of such treatment is 2 weeks, then you need to take the same break and repeat a similar course.

Instructions for using thuja oil for adenoids may contain information on how to use the drug correctly. But the choice of treatment method always remains with the attending physician. An ENT doctor must regularly examine a sick child to understand whether conservative treatment is effective or not.

Thuja oil should be used with caution to treat children who are allergic to vegetation.

What preparations with thuja can you buy?

To treat adenoiditis in children, you can use homeopathic preparations that contain thuja oil in a small concentration of up to 15%. Such products are produced by different pharmaceutical companies, but the principle of action of all such medications is identical.

• Thuja Edas 801 – sold in dark glass bottles of 25 ml. This drug promotes rapid regeneration of damaged tissues and improves mucosal function. The instructions for this medication indicate that it can be prescribed to treat a number of diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. To treat adenoids, the medicine is instilled 3 drops into each nostril, up to 3 times a day.
• Thuja DN is a natural oil that contains 10% thuja essential oil and 90% purified petroleum jelly. The instructions indicate that when adenoid tissue grows, the drug is dripped into each nostril, 2 drops three times a day. Shake the medicine well beforehand. This drug is mainly used for the effective treatment of chronic rhinitis, but it also gives good results in the treatment of adenoids.
• Thuja oil GF - this medicine is sold in 25 ml dark glass bottles. The concentration of this homeopathic remedy is 5%. According to the annotation, when adenoid tissue grows, it should be dripped 3-4 drops into each nasal passage, up to 4 times a day. Treatment should continue for two weeks.

It is difficult to say which of these drugs is more effective for adenoiditis. But most parents who have encountered adenoids in their children recommend the drug Tuya Edas 801. According to reviews from parents, noticeable improvements are observed after just a week of treatment with this homeopathic drug.

Before starting treatment with thuja oil, you should carefully study the instructions supplied with the drug.

What are the contraindications

You can start using thuja oil only after consulting a doctor. This drug is considered relatively safe, due to its natural origin. There are not many contraindications to prescribing this medication for treatment, but they must be taken into account. So, thuja oil cannot be used for treatment if:

• individual intolerance to the drug;
• severe allergies, which manifests itself as skin rashes;
• epilepsy of any form.

Before starting treatment, you need to conduct a simple test to determine whether the child is allergic to this homeopathic medicine. To do this, just apply a few drops of oil to the inner bend of the elbow and wait 15 minutes; if during this time there is no redness or irritation of the skin, then the medicine can be used.

If the effect is not noticeable after two weeks of using thuja oil, the doctor may change the treatment regimen.

Very often, when adenoid tissue grows, doctors immediately recommend surgery to remove the adenoids. But this is not always the right decision. If the doctor does not try to treat adenoids with a conservative method, but immediately gives a referral for surgery, then it is advisable to consult with another specialist. In many cases, with adenoids of 1-2 degrees of growth, thuja oil helps.

The longer a pediatric otolaryngologist works in the field of specialization - treatment of adenoiditis, adenoid growth of the nasopharyngeal glands in children, the more convinced he becomes of the effectiveness of, namely, schematic treatment projects. Because, on the basis of an unmistakably diagnosed pathogenesis in the nasal cavities, in the child’s throat , treatment regimen for adenoids demonstrates stable, improving performance.

What is the scheme for treating adenoids in children with popular, well-known nasal drugs, such as Nasonex, Thuja Oil, Protargol, Sofradex. Or new, not so well-known pharmaceutical developments - “Euphorbium Compositum”, “Tobradex”, products of the children’s category of anti-inflammatory homeopathic medicines from the company “Tentorium”.

Let's start in order, and the description of treatment regimens for well-known medications opens.

Super-intensive hormonal drug "Nasonex" in combination with "Sofradex": application regimen

Detailed information about the artificial/synthetic glucocorticosteroid “Mometazon furoat Monohydrat” (anhydrous), also called “Nasonex”.

Scheme : Children should not miss regular exposure to Nasonex. It is advisable to treat the sore nasal cavity twice a day, morning and evening. Before spraying with an aerosol preparation, first rinse the child’s nose with a healing herbal solution (decoction), or carefully clean the nasal passages, one at a time, with cotton swabs (moistening them with sterile Vaseline).

Injections are made 2 times (50 mcg) into each nostril. A continuous course of treatment, after which you can be sure of the positive dynamics of the effect, no earlier than after 7 - 10 days.

Important note! Do not calm down when the pathogenic signs disappear - the cessation of rhinorrhea, rhinitis, nasal congestion (difficult breath). The hormonal composition of Nasonex has a potent, intense vasodilating effect. But this does not mean that after 3-4 days, parents have completely cured adenoid pathogenesis in their child!

A, "Sofradex" V adenoid treatment regimen, is indispensable, namely, in combination with Nasonex.

Thuja oil, the scheme of its use, should become an indispensable component in the adenoid treatment program

Among homeopathic remedies, and scheme According to which this oil is used, it is difficult to find worthy phyto analogues. The healing properties of the fir family, which includes thuja, demonstrate excellent results.

And, if, in addition, thuja oil formations are combined before or after the use of intranasal medications, synthetic production, we can say with full responsibility that adenoids in children will no longer recur.

The treatment regimen and the peculiarity of its application lies in the following factor.

The regimen for using Protargol is approved only by an otolaryngologist. The infected nasal cavity is treated with cotton swabs:

• in mild cases, no more than once a day;
• in severe degrees of adenoid-purulent pathosis, 2 (3 times) a day.

Carefully! Do not force the use of Protargol by deciding on your own. This is dangerous in the sense of an overdose of silver elements in the child’s body!

Argyrosis is intoxication of a child’s body with silver elements. A terrible disease that is characterized by the serious condition of young patients, hair loss, and pallor (with a silvery tint) of the skin. And, this is quite possible, only as a consequence of the incorrect, uncontrolled use by parents of the drugs “Protargol”, “Sialor” for self-medication of their children.

Let's get acquainted with a wonderful remedy - thuja oil, which has been used for many years for adenoids and can be used for children from the age of three.

Not all parents clearly understand the seriousness of such a pathology as adenoids. Well, the child’s nose is stuffy, his mouth is slightly open, it will go away sooner or later anyway. Just think, many had a snotty childhood and nothing. Let's not put everyone under the same brush, but help our children live and breathe fully.

Adenoids in children are not just snot, but an inflammatory process occurring against the background of hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil. A bacterial infection “sits” in the nasopharynx, due to which the adenoids (adenoid vegetations) increase in size and can have three degrees of growth.

The child begins to complain of difficulty breathing, snoring, mucus in the nose and throat, and headache. Parents note frequent colds in their children.

Adenoids provide a permanent chronic source of infection, which can spread to the paranasal sinuses, middle ear, and bronchi. Therefore, first of all, the otolaryngologist prescribes procedures for the sanitation of the nasopharynx, and only then moves on to homeopathic, physiotherapeutic or surgical methods of treatment.

Foci of infection can be sanitized using antiseptic solutions, drops and inhalers. In each individual case, an individual drug is selected. Before sanitation, it is recommended to do a nasopharyngeal culture with an antibiogram.

Grade 1 adenoids are treated conservatively, and for grades 2 and 3, doctors advise surgical intervention. But no one can guarantee that after a year or earlier the pharyngeal tonsil will not increase in size again. Therefore, a competent specialist will make every effort to help a child with grades 1 and 2 adenoids, and solve this problem with more delicate methods, for example, homeopathy.

Thuja oil for adenoid vegetations (adenoids) in children - detailed instructions

Homeopathic preparations based on thuja relieve adults and children from various growths not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes.

Homeopathic peas and thuja oil are used to treat adenoids, warts, growths, warts and other neoplasms. The most interesting thing is that only in homeopathic dilutions does thuja act as a medicine.

The combination of the presented substances exhibits the following healing properties:

• anti-inflammatory;
• pain reliever;
• antiseptic;
• regenerating;
• tonic;
• antiviral;
• vasoconstrictor;
• immunostimulating.

Thuja oil has a powerful effect on the immune system, normalizes chemical processes in the nasopharynx, and eliminates the proliferation of pathological tissues. Homeopathic thuja affects not only the lesion, but also “forces” the entire body to restart, as it were, i.e. restore normal cell function. Therefore, homeopaths, in addition to the oil, advise taking homeopathic thuja granules.

The vasoconstrictor effect of the oil normalizes nasal breathing and relieves swelling in the nasopharynx. At the first stages of treatment, the condition of the adenoids stabilizes (growth stops), and then there is a tendency for the adenoid vegetations to resolve.

Homeopathic oil Thuja GF is produced on the basis of the active component - thuja, and an auxiliary substance - vaseline oil. The drug is produced in St. Petersburg. A 25 ml bottle of oil costs 300 rubles.

The main indications for use are all types of chronic runny nose, accompanied by purulent discharge and thick mucus. For adenoid vegetations, otolaryngologists also include Thuja GF in complex therapy.

The only contraindication for use is individual intolerance. Side effects are the exception to the rule. The course of treatment with oil is usually 14 days. Thuja GF is instilled up to four times a day, 3-5 drops into each nostril.

Store the oil in the refrigerator for up to 24 months.

At an appointment with an ENT doctor, the baby’s parents heard an unpleasant diagnosis - “adenoiditis”. What to do, how to help the child? Wise nature has given our body many protective functions and even organs, one of them is the nasopharyngeal tonsil (adenoid).

This is a protective barrier against various microbes penetrating through the oral cavity into the respiratory system.

If the child’s condition allows, the process has not started, the doctor adheres to a conservative treatment method. These are usually medications and physical therapy. Often, an ENT doctor suggests additionally using a homeopathic remedy such as thuja oil Edas 801 to treat inflamed adenoids.

Is homeopathy effective for children?

The question of the benefits or harms of homeopathy has been agitating society for several decades. The debate between supporters and opponents of homeopathy continues to this day; both sides have certain arguments.

But having carefully understood the technology of preparing homeopathic medicines, common sense and physics suggest that there can be no benefit here. The simplest mathematical calculations prove that when the active substance is repeatedly dissolved, practically no substance remains in the solution. By purchasing such drugs, which are often quite expensive, a person is purchasing a placebo, a pacifier.

Official medicine, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the US Department of Health Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not consider homeopathic medicines to be medicines. The global scientific community openly calls this quackery and fraud.

And adherents of homeopathy propose to believe that the spirit of the active substance, its energy, remains in the solution. Is it possible to treat a person by believing in the occult? When there is no real evidence, it is better to turn to otherworldly forces.

Perhaps this is not even the main reason for the widespread use of such funds. The huge industry of homeopathic medicines with gigantic profits is making incredible efforts to develop their industry by any means. And gullible people who are ready to believe in anything to save a child are excellent victims of this octopus.

Special instructions noted in the instructions:

• There may be some deterioration in the symptoms of the disease (temporarily), in which case it is recommended to consult an ENT specialist.

Homeopathy does not work, and a sick child needs real help “here and now.” Therefore, reliable treatment methods that promptly relieve adenoiditis are required.

What does modern official medicine offer for the treatment of adenoids:

• conservative (non-surgical) direction, with the help of pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy;
• surgical direction, in which the enlarged ones are removed (excised) in one way or another.

The choice is up to the specialist. Only an ENT doctor, after conducting a thorough diagnosis, can choose the most effective technique.

Conservative

If the patient’s condition allows, they try to avoid surgery and use conservative therapy.

Conservative treatment regimens solve several problems - it is necessary not only to stop the growth of adenoids, but also to eliminate other symptoms of the disease and complications that have arisen.

Therefore, conservative therapy is always complex and includes several groups of drugs. Let's consider possible groups:

• means for rinsing the nasal passages;
• general strengthening agents that increase immunity;
• nasal drops with antiseptic;
• antiallergic drugs;
• nasal drops with hormones (corticosteroids, corticosteroids);
• vasoconstrictor drops.

As part of a complex of conservative therapy, physiotherapeutic procedures often help effectively, for example:

• ultraviolet irradiation (UVR) and short-wave irradiation (SWI);
• electrophoresis - the introduction of medicine into the nasal passages under the influence of an electric field;
• UHF – affects the nasal area with a high-frequency electromagnetic field;
• Magnetic therapy is the use of a magnetic field for treatment.

All procedures reduce inflammation, have an antiviral and bactericidal effect, which ultimately improves immunity.

The modern level of medicine and innovative technologies have significantly expanded the list of methods used to remove adenoids; we note the main ones:

• classical excision by a surgeon using a special adenotome instrument;
• removal under endoscope control;
• laser cauterization;
• radio wave method of removal.

What should you do if you followed all the doctor’s instructions and, at the same time, conservative treatment did not give the required effect, and the disease proceeds with severe complications? There is only one option left - the doctor will offer to remove the inflamed enlarged adenoids through a free surgical operation (adenotomy).

The operation is not an emergency, it is performed as planned after a thorough examination, under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation itself is less than half an hour, then the child is under the supervision of a doctor for some time.

Often parents, having learned that the adenoids can later return to normal, decide to simply wait. This is risky; refusal of surgery or ineffective conservative treatment may result in a worsening of the condition. What consequences are likely:

• complications associated with the ears, hearing loss;
• infections caused by microbes accumulated in the adenoids;
• frequent colds;
• improper formation of nasal bones;
• headache and poor sleep;
• irritability associated with poor breathing.

In recent years, new technologies for excision of adenoids have appeared, which are more gentle, the most common of which is laser therapy. Laser cauterization of adenoid tissue is used only for the first or second degree of adenoiditis.

The main advantages of excision of adenoids by laser cauterization:

• precise impact strictly on the adenoids;
• minimal risk of bleeding;
• procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis and without general anesthesia;
• there are no postoperative scars;
• the child is not afraid, there are no unpleasant sensations;
• used to treat children of any age;
• there are no relapses, the adenoid tissue does not grow again;
• quick recovery after the procedure.

The disadvantages of the method include the high cost and the search for a good specialist of this particular profile.
