Adenoids: protection of the body and the danger to him
Normally, the pharyngeal tonsils produceimmunoglobulins, which allow the human body to cope with the infection. At the same time, at the moment of the next exacerbation, the adenoids increase in size to cover the need for antibodies. If the interval between infectious and cold diseases is too small (less than a week), the tonsil does not have time to reduce its size to normal, and the enlarged state becomes permanent. When the glands increase to a size of more than 2/3 of the normal volume, the nasal passages are blocked, making breathing through the nose difficult or impossible. Accordingly, pathogenic microorganisms accumulate in the sinuses, provoking more and more new diseases.Thuja oil for adenoids for children: local application instructionsPhoto: Getty
Conventional and Alternative Adenoid Treatment
When the tonsils grow to a significant sizevolume, doctors often recommend their removal. Arguments against: the operation is traumatic and extremely unpleasant for the child; local or general anesthesia may cause complications; the removed tissue in some cases grows back. For a less radical treatment, one of the most common remedies is thuja oil, used for children and adults as an antimicrobial, immunostimulant and vasoconstrictor. Of course, the high saturation of pure essential oil does not allow it to be used undiluted. Pharmacies offer a 15% solution of thuja oil, this drug is considered homeopathic. The treatment regimen is quite simple: two or three drops of diluted oil are instilled into the nose washed with saline solution or inhalation is done. Instructions for the use of thuja oil for the treatment of adenoids in children recommend using this regimen for six weeks, after a week's break it is worth repeating the course again. It should be noted that treatment during an exacerbation is undesirable, since it can cause an increase in symptoms. Thuja oil can be used to treat children only after the acute phase of the respiratory disease has passed.See also:
