Inhalations for laryngitis in children

When a child has hoarseness of voice, sore throat when swallowing, shortness of breath — this indicates the development of the disease, laryngitis. In order to prevent a formidable complication – laryngospasm, leading to suffocation, it is necessary to start treatment.
The most common and effective method of treatment is inhalation for laryngitis in children from a very young age. The effect of vapor suspensions of medicinal substances soften the mucous membrane of the pharynx and vocal cords, relieve swelling.
Depending on the age of the child, the question is decided which inhalations for laryngitis are shown to him. These may include hot inhalations for older children that produce steam. Procedures with special devices — ultrasonic inhalers - are more suitable for babies. A nebulizer device has been developed for infants. It can be placed at the crib of a sick child. During sleep, the little patient will inhale healing air with healing suspensions.
A solution for inhalation for laryngitis is prepared from water and essential oils: mint, eucalyptus, fir, menthol. For half a liter of water, a few drops of oil or garlic juice are enough - the best natural remedy for inflammation. Wet thermal inhalations envelop the inflamed mucous membrane of the larynx, forming a protective film.
Decoctions of medicinal herbs are used for inhalation:
• chamomile;
• St. John's wort;
• oregano;
• sage;
• mother-and-stepmother.
To two hundred milliliters of boiling water, add one tablespoon of crushed dry medicinal herb. The broth is infused for a quarter of an hour, filtered and poured into an inhaler.
The cones of coniferous trees, such as spruce and pine, work perfectly from hot steam inhalations. They are poured with boiling water and given to the child to breathe steam through a tube from a piece of paper. In the chronic course of pharyngitis, it is recommended to use plant substances with tannic properties: oak bark, birch leaves, viburnum, St. John's wort.
