Gargling with hydrogen peroxide for angina - can you gargle and does this method help? On this score, the opinions of doctors are divided: some consider the remedy to be effective, while others do not see the point in such a procedure. Let's consider this issue in more detail.
Hydrogen peroxide is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment for angina
Hydrogen peroxide, or hydrogen peroxide, is a drug that belongs to the group of antiseptic and disinfectants. It is a clear, colorless liquid that, upon contact with damaged mucous membranes or skin, releases active oxygen. He, in turn, produces mechanical cleansing and removes pus and blood outside.
Hydrogen peroxide is not a sterilizing agent; the substance temporarily reduces the number of pathogens in the wound. The formation of a large amount of foam helps blood clots to form and stop bleeding from small vessels.
Hydrogen peroxide is released in the form of a 3% solution of 40, 50, 100 and 200 ml in dark glass or plastic bottles. Also in the pharmacy you can buy a product in the form of tablets for preparing a solution for external use called Hydroperit.
How does hydrogen peroxide work for angina
In most cases, a solution of hydrogen peroxide is used for purulent sore throat, when it is necessary to remove plaque from the surface of the tonsils.
In the process of combating pathogenic microorganisms - the causative agents of tonsillitis, microbes, their decomposition products, leukocytes, desquamated epithelium, mucus and protein masses, from which pus is formed, accumulate in the gaps.
Initially, it looks like a yellow-white bloom. In the future, it can be compacted, taking the form of films that can be easily removed with a spatula. In the mouths of the gaps, caseous plugs can form, the composition of which is identical to the composition of pus.
When hydrogen peroxide enters these areas, active oxygen is released, as a result of which pathogens are washed out, and the surface of the tonsils is cleaned.
How to dilute and apply the solution
How to gargle with hydrogen peroxide for angina for adults and children? To prepare a solution, add one tablespoon of the product to a glass of warm boiled water. The procedure should be repeated three times a day until the symptoms of the disease disappear.
To prepare a product based on Hydroperite, one tablet is dissolved in 200 ml of warm water. Apply in the same way until the effect is achieved.
The solution is prepared immediately before the procedure, as it quickly loses its properties. About 15 ml of the product is taken into the mouth, tilt the head back so that the solution penetrates the throat as much as possible, and within 3-5 seconds they pronounce the sound "y". Then they spit it out and repeat the throat treatment.
Do not swallow the product, as this can negatively affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract.
Gargling with hydrogen peroxide according to Neumyvakin
Doctor of Medical Sciences Ivan Neumyvakin, the creator of a unique healing system, recommends the use of hydrogen peroxide both for the treatment of purulent and chronic tonsillitis. He says that this remedy helps fight viruses, bacteria and fungi, and also stimulates the immune system.
Hydrogen peroxide, according to I. Neumyvakin, is active against viruses and bacteria
In his opinion, gargling with hydrogen peroxide helps to quickly get rid of the disease, as well as prevent the development of relapses in chronic tonsillitis. In order to prepare a solution for gargling the throat according to Neumyvakin, one tablespoon of the product must be dissolved in 100 ml of warm water.
You can also use Hydroperit: one tablet is dissolved in 150 ml of warm boiled water. Rinsing is carried out every 3 hours, no more than 5 times a day.
After the end of the procedure, it is necessary to rinse the oral cavity and tonsils. To do this, you can use warm boiled water, alkaline mineral water (for example, Borjomi) or herbal infusions - chamomile, sage, calendula. They are prepared by first pouring a small amount of raw material with boiling water, infusing for 40 minutes and filtering. Such an addition to the main rinse will enable the body to quickly cope with the infection, increase local immunity and quickly eliminate inflammation.
After the end of the procedure, the oral cavity should be rinsed with an infusion of medicinal herbs, such as calendula
The well-known pediatrician Komarovsky says that there is nothing unscientific in rinsing the throat with hydrogen peroxide, and if the doctor has prescribed this remedy, then his recommendations must be followed. At the same time, he believes that there will be no special effect from the use of the drug, therefore it is better to use more modern and effective drugs.
Contraindications, side effects, application features
Hydrogen peroxide can be used by children who are at least 5 years old.
It is not recommended to use a throat rinse if you are sensitive to it.
It is necessary to observe the proportions when preparing the solution, since too high a concentration of the substance can cause burns to the mucous membrane of the oropharynx.
When gargling with a weak solution, hydrogen peroxide is not absorbed into the systemic circulation, so it can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
The remedy does not affect the reaction rate, therapy is not contraindicated for people for whom the reaction rate is important.
Do not use metal dishes to prepare the solution, as this can lead to its instability. To prevent hydrogen peroxide from losing its properties, it must be stored in a cool, dark place.
According to patient reviews, treatment of angina with hydrogen peroxide is a fairly effective method that helps to clear the tonsils of pus, thereby promoting recovery. Many people write that relief comes after 2-3 days of use, the purulent plaque gradually disappears, and the symptoms of the disease recede.
It must be remembered that angina is a rather serious disease that can cause formidable complications, so its treatment should be comprehensive. Before starting therapy, you should seek the advice of an otolaryngologist.
