Application of Stodal cough for children

Cough in children often accompanies a cold, ARVI or flu. However, it is a symptom that needs to be treated, not starting up and not allowing it to develop into a more serious disease. Modern tools allow you to quickly rid children of painful cough. For example, the Stoodal homeopathic syrup, which gently affects its cause.

«Stodal"- a homeopathic drug. Available in the form of a syrup. In the production of the drug is poured into glass vials of 200 ml. The cover is equipped with a control ring of the first opening. Each bottle attached measuring cap, with which it is convenient to measure the exact dosage of the drug.

Homeopathic remedies contain ingredients whose names are unusual to the ear. Thus, “Stodal” includes Pulsatilla, Rumex crispus, Bryonia, Ipeca and other substances in equal proportions.

But in fact, Pulsatilla is a meadow chamber, Rumex crispus is curly sorrel, Bryonia is white, and Ipeca is an emetic root. Under the name of Spongia tosta, there is a sea sponge, under Sticta pulmonaria - lobaria pulmonary, which bears this name not by chance, having a reputation as an anti-cold medicine and its symptoms. Therefore, Stodal is a composition of medicinal plants and a number of specific homeopathic ingredients.

The following substances are indicated as auxiliary instructions: Tolu syrup, Polygal syrup — homeopathic components, benzoic acid and ethanol — preservatives that preserve the effectiveness of the medicinal composition throughout the shelf life, caramel and sucrose — sweeteners give the drug a pleasant taste. Tolu and Poligala are homeopathic substances.

The manufacturer does not explain the principle of the syrup, however, judging by the composition of the tool has expectorant, bactericidal, sedative, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Thanks to the knowledge of homeopathy about the interaction of substances, all the components of the syrup enhance and complement the action of each other.

Thanks to a bouquet of medicinal plants "Stodal" treats cough of various etiologies.

Wet cough - productive, contributing to the withdrawal of sputum from the lungs. In contrast, dry forms in the larynx and is characterized by prolonged and frequent, sometimes continuous attacks. Both types are harmful to health, and prolonged coughing can cause bronchial asthma. Of course, any kind of coughing frightens a child.

The manufacturer does not set the minimum age at which the drug can be used. "Stodal" is indicated for use in children from an early age - up to a year.

Instructions for the drug contains only one restriction. This is intolerance or increased individual sensitivity to the substances used to prepare the drug.

If the parents are aware of a negative reaction, which is manifested in a child to one of the medicinal plants or another component of the syrup, then you need to warn the attending physician. It should be borne in mind that the active ingredients are contained in the syrup in micro doses, which are called homeopathic.

It is the presence of this component that limits its use to children who have recently suffered a head injury, for example, concussion or contusion of the brain, as well as any surgical intervention in the brain.

The instructions for use of the drug indicates that currently there is no information about its side effects. It is all about small dosages of active substances. Even if the child is allergic to one of the components, then its content - 0.95 g per 100 ml of syrup is very small.

However, parents need to be attentive. If, after taking the syrup, the child has any symptoms that they consider to be a side effect of the intake, you need to turn on giving the child medicine and consult a doctor. The specialist will determine the cause of the appearance of a negative reaction, perhaps it is not associated with the reception of “Stodal”. If the reason is still in the medicine, then the doctor will select a substitute that is adequate to the child’s condition, and prescribe symptomatic treatment.

Also carefully give the syrup to children suffering from diabetes, because it contains sucrose syrup.

In general, children are given 5 ml of syrup from 3 to 5 times a day. The exact dosage, frequency of treatment and duration of treatment will be prescribed by the doctor.

Measure the volume of syrup required for one dose is needed not by eye, but with the help of a special measuring cup, which is put on the syrup lid. After use, it must be rinsed and dried.

Stodal syrup is sweet, so children usually drink it with pleasure. If necessary, you can give your child a drink of water. Reception of syrup can be combined with feeding - in young children. Older children are given it before or after meals.

In the medical literature are not described cases of overdose syrup. However, if a child accidentally takes a sufficiently large volume, for example, a whole bottle, then parents need to take action.

First, syrup is a medicine that contains various substances from plants. And homeopathy is a method of treating “similar to similar,” that is, homeopathic remedies contain substances that can be harmful to a child in large amounts. Secondly, in the syrup there is ethanol, which in large quantities is also harmful to the child.

Data on the interaction of syrup "Stodal" with other drugs are not available. But before giving the child several medicines at the same time, you need to make sure that they are compatible with ethanol.

Pharmacies "Stodal" sold without a prescription. At home, a bottle of syrup is stored in a place inaccessible to the sun's rays at room temperature. Keep the bottle away from children.

The shelf life of the syrup is five years from the date of manufacture indicated on the package.

Homeopathy appeared more than 200 years ago, and over the long years of its existence, the debate about the effectiveness of this treatment has not abated. However, many parents who used Stodal syrup to treat dry or wet cough are sure that this medicine helps. This can be seen if you read reviews on thematic sites where parents share relevant experiences.

Another time, the girl continued to attend kindergarten, so she drank the syrup only twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, but a week later there was no sign of coughing. Mom notes that the child took the syrup with pleasure.

Many mothers write that the doctor prescribed them "Stodal" during pregnancy, so they safely give syrup even to young children. So, mom described a case of treatment "Stodal" coughing a baby in 5 months.

The child liked the sweet syrup, it was not difficult to give it 3 times a day. Already on the second day, the dry cough became wet, and after five days the recommended course of treatment almost disappeared.

Parents also write that the volume of one bottle just corresponds to the course of treatment, given the fact that young children sometimes pour syrup, and they have to be doused.
