Aqualore Throat for children: instructions for use

If a child has a sore throat, parents are interested in safe and natural children's medicines, which have a minimum of harmful effects, especially if we are talking about the treatment of infants. One of these tools can be called "Aqualore Throat". It is often used in various diseases of the oropharynx in both adults and small children.

The drug “Aqualore Throat” is produced in two packaging options - 50 ml (such a mini-format tool is convenient to take with you on a trip and it is often bought for the first time to check tolerability) and 125 ml (this option in terms of the cost of 1 ml cheaper). Both Aqualore are placed in a metal cylinder, which has a special one-way valve to maintain sterility. Attached to the cylinder is a special anatomical nozzle intended for the treatment of the throat.

The medicine itself is a colorless liquid that smells like chamomile and has a salty taste. It is completely transparent and contains natural seawater from the Atlantic Ocean as its main ingredient. To it add the usual water (purified) and two plant extracts. One is obtained from Roman chamomile, and the second from aloe vera. Both extracts are represented by a 0.025% solution.

Since the amount of sodium chloride in Aqualore's Throat is from 19 to 23 grams per liter, this solution is called hypertonic (as opposed to an isotonic solution in “Aqualore Baby"). There are no other components in the composition of the drug, in addition to water and plant extracts. The drug does not contain any preservatives and ethyl alcohol.

Sea water in Aqualore Throat acts as a source of nutrients (chlorine, selenium, sodium, magnesium, iodine, etc.), and because of the hypertonic concentration of salt, treatment with the drug draws excess fluid from the cells and the intercellular space. This action is associated with different osmotic pressure. Thanks to him, the treatment with Aqualine Throat helps:

• reduce the activity of the inflammatory process;
• reduce puffiness and redness of the mucous membrane of the throat and different parts of the mouth;
• eliminate purulent plaque, bacteria and viral particles from the tonsils, throat and mouth;
• strengthen local protection against the attack of pathogenic microbes and viruses;
• accelerate the regeneration of the mucous membrane of the oropharynx.

Drug irrigate the throat of a small patient from 4 to 6 times a day or more often if necessary. For one treatment, 3-4 spray injections are used, and the nozzle of the balloon is directed to the inflamed areas.
