How is the throat treated with Miramistin spray?

Miramistin throat spray - this is how the drug is best known. Regardless of whether it is Ukraine, Russia or another Russian-speaking country, aerosol is often used to treat babies and adults. One of the features of the drug is that it can be used to treat the throat in two ways.

Vial preparation and first use case, spraying:

• First you need to open the bottle, remove the packaging from the spray system.
• The agent will be sprayed through a long transparent tube. It must be inserted into the vial.
• After that, the nozzle is screwed clockwise.
• Then the tube must be moved to a horizontal position.
• With the tube aside, you need to press the nozzle once or twice to make sure that the medicine begins to splatter.
• Before you start spraying the medicine into the mouth, it is better to take a few sips of water.
• The tube is then placed in the mouth. It should be slightly turned in the direction of the left tonsil.
• You need to press the nozzle once.
• After that, the tube must be directed to the back of the throat, approximately in the center.
• The second press should deliver the medicine exactly to that area.
• Finally, you need to transfer the tube to the right tonsil and treat the throat for the third time.

Sometimes the spraying is so intense that only two pressures on the nozzle are enough, for example, when directing the tube to each of the tonsils. However, there are often other situations when the spray could not immediately give out a sufficient amount of medicine. In this case, you have to increase the number of sprays from the standard three to four.

The second option for using the spray is as a rinse aid. If you want to treat your throat in this way, then you need to pour part of the contents of the bottle into a tablespoon. Gargle with this amount of liquid for thirty seconds. After that, the medicine is spit out, you can not swallow it.

Features of use in childhood

The use of Miramistin largely depends on how old the child is. For example, if the baby is not yet six, then a single spray into the throat is enough. Older than this age and up to fourteen years, a double spray is used. After that, you can move on to the adult technique above.

It is worth considering separately how to use Miramistin spray for children up to a year. According to the instructions for use, the medicine is given to babies older than three years. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is due to the more developed consciousness of the child. At the age of three, he is already able to understand how and why the procedure is carried out.

Note. Three years of age to start using the spray is considered conditional. The most important thing is to be able to properly treat the baby's throat.

The problem is that it is impossible to explain to an infant that he must open his mouth for the mother or someone else to inject medicine into it. Also, although Miramistin is sometimes given to children up to a year old, it is better not to risk its use on newborns.

It must be remembered that at such a young age, the most important thing is that the medicine gets into the mouth. Even if it does not immediately reach the throat, then along with saliva, sooner or later, it will get there. That is why the easiest way to treat is to treat nipples with Miramistin.

Considering the reviews about the drug, you can also come across stories that the kids themselves are interested in the spray tube, pulling it into their mouths on their own. Such moments can be used for treatment.

Spray use during pregnancy

Many are interested in the subtleties of using Miramistin spray during pregnancy in the throat or for intimate hygiene. Usually this is allowed if there is evidence. According to the instructions, the agent is almost not absorbed by the mucous membranes, and therefore practically cannot enter the bloodstream. Moreover, contraindications are limited to individual intolerance.

This means that during pregnancy, the expectant mother can spray the product into the nose or disinfect damaged skin surfaces with it. In general, the instructions for using the spray do not contain any special instructions about use during gestation.

Advice. Despite the theoretical absence of possible negative effects, the use of any drugs during pregnancy should be discussed with the attending physician.

In order to definitely protect yourself from the possible unpleasant consequences of using Miramistin during the gestation period, it is best not to swallow the drug. If you want to treat your throat with it, then you should turn to rinsing.

How much does Miramistin spray cost?

This medicine is sold in almost any pharmacy. The price of Miramistin spray largely depends on the place of its sale. For example, in the Ukrainian segment it averages about UAH 70 for a 50 ml package.

Buy Miramistin, the photo of which is presented below, is real in Russia. In most large cities, the lower price threshold is about 200 rubles. Thus, despite domestic production, the medicine cannot be classified as cheap. In this regard, many are trying to find its analogues.

The possibility of replacement directly depends on what the medicine is bought for. If it is necessary to act on herpetic stomatitis, then it is best to spend money on Miramistin. If you have to treat the throat or skin, then analogues, such as Chlorhexidine, are also suitable.

Advantages and disadvantages

Usually the reason to refuse to buy Miramistin in favor of some other drug is its cost. For example, the same Chlorhexidine costs almost three times less than this medicine. It must be remembered that Miramistin can not be used for more than ten days, otherwise it can lead to dysbacteriosis.

However, the tool has a number of significant advantages. Firstly, unlike the same Chlorhexidine, Miramistin has a neutral taste, which is especially important for children. It also does not cause temporary darkening of the enamel.

The rest of the benefits relate to the breadth of the drug. It acts on most pathogenic bacteria, whether they are Gram-negative or Gram-positive. The medicine even affects herpes, which, combined with a convenient spray nozzle, puts it an order of magnitude higher than many analogues.
