Plasters for colds and broncho-pulmonary diseases. Plaster from the common cold for children

For colds, medications and non-drugs are used. A cold patch is a drug for relieving inflammation, which is used at any age. It is a convenient and effective device that alleviates the symptoms of the disease and relieves colds.

What is it and how does it work?

A nose patch for a runny nose is a tissue piece with essential oils. It is equipped with adhesive tape to make it easy and convenient to fix it.

Some types of stickers are attached to clothes next to the face (on the collar), others - to parts of the body - nose, forehead, temples. After sticking the sticker, the essential oils slowly evaporate, and the person breathes them. The cold patch is available without a prescription and is not a cure. The adaptation will not bring the desired effect if a person has a severe cold, but it helps to improve well-being. It is best to glue the product at the first symptoms of the disease, when the nose is blocked. It is effectively used as part of complex treatment along with medications.

Purpose of the patch:

• elimination of nasal congestion;
• improving the removal of mucus from the nasal passages;

As a result, swelling of the mucous membranes is reduced. The device improves breathing through the nose, facilitates the separation of mucus. Children's patch "Breathe" has an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, tonic and analgesic effect.

Many parents prefer to treat a runny nose in children with natural remedies. It is believed that natural preparations are better tolerated by the child's body and less harmful. One of the favorite means of mothers is the inhalation patch "Nozzle". How to use it correctly, we will tell in this material.

About the drug

According to the register of medicines, the Sopelka patch belongs to the category of herbal remedies for colds. It is called inhalation, because its main function is to “give away” the aromas of essential oils, which a child with a runny nose inhales quite naturally. Treatment with this remedy does not require persuasion and exhortation from the parents: usually children willingly agree to have a small piece of fragrant patch attached to their pajamas or T-shirt. It's not painful, it's not scary, it's not bitter. And therefore, from the point of view of the child, it is ideal.

The patch is packaged in boxes, there is a packaging of 4, 7, 10 and 15 bags with a single “dose”. The miracle plaster is arranged quite simply - its fabric part is impregnated with medicinal plant compounds, and the adhesive part is covered with a film. This film is removed only immediately before use. The sticky side of the patch is glued to the child's clothes, the impregnated fabric part remains on the surface.

The patch is manufactured by the Italian pharmaceutical company Bouty S. p. A.

Composition and mechanism of action

As part of the medicinal impregnation of "Nozzle" there are only two ingredients that are well known to all parents from their own distant childhood. True, they were given for colds and coughs earlier in a different form - in ointment, in liquid form. We are talking about substances such as eucalyptus oil and racemic camphor. No other additives and components are provided in the "Nozzle" for children.

Eucalyptus oil

Camphor

These essential substances are capable of rapid evaporation, which is the reason for the pharmacological effect of the patch. Volatile substances of essential oils relieve difficult nasal breathing with a runny nose, have a certain antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, and also have a mild sedative effect, due to which the child's sleep improves.

Most of the action is due to the presence of eucalyptus oil - it is it that gently affects the mucous membranes of the respiratory system and the nervous system of the child. And camphor only complements the effect, mainly acting in the nose, relieving congestion in rhinitis.

Indications and contraindications

Indications for use are few. Manufacturers recommend using an inhalation patch for signs of a cold, runny nose, and cough to relieve symptoms. In practice, "Nozzle" is often recommended to improve the quality of night sleep in children with neurasthenia and hyperactive babies, characterized by superficial and shallow sleep.

"Nozzle" is contraindicated for children with bronchial asthma. Essential oils can worsen the condition of the baby and provoke an attack of suffocation. It is also not recommended to treat with an inhalation patch children with a tendency to allergies to plant components, especially eucalyptus, pine, resin, laurel and camphor laurel.

Despite the plant origin of the drug, there are specific age restrictions. They should be discussed in more detail.

Age restrictions

Essential oils are contraindicated in any form for babies, as they are a strong allergen and can cause serious consequences for the baby's health.

Children under 1 year old are prescribed other drugs, topical drugs, as well as systemic drugs that the doctor deems necessary. The fact is that the nasal passages of such babies are narrow, the outflow of mucous secretions can be difficult. In combination with natural inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, "Nozzle" is highly likely to cause allergies, which will aggravate the situation and worsen the condition of the child.

At 2 years of age and older, parents should use inhalation patches in accordance with the instructions that are included in each pack.

Instructions for use

Despite the word "inhalation" in the name of the drug, you should not try to use the patch in any way other than the recommended method - externally. Applying the “Nozzle” is as easy as shelling pears. To do this, just open a small multilayer bag with a piece of patch, take it out, peel off the top layer and stick the sticker where it should be.

Where it should be - this is the first fundamental question. Some parents believe that it will only be better if the patch is attached closer to the child's nose - on the cheek, on the neck, some even tried to stick it on the chin of the little one. These parts of the body are not suitable for application with the "Nozzle".

The plaster is recommended to be fixed only on a dry surface. Best of all - on the upper chest part of pajamas or T-shirts in which the baby sleeps, or on the head of his bed. Skin contact is undesirable due to the high likelihood of an allergic reaction.

Usually a single application is used - at night. But in case of severe nasal congestion, you can do the application twice a day - in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. It should be understood that one piece of the patch is valid for no more than 8 hours, and therefore it is unreasonable and useless to use it repeatedly.

A new sticker must be used for each application.

Side effects and overdose

Manufacturers in the official instructions for their drug indicate that there are no data on overdoses and side effects. Indeed, if the patch is used correctly, the likelihood of any negative consequences for the health of the child will be minimal.

The fact that the patch is used erroneously, or the parents did not read the section on contraindications, may indicate the appearance of frequent dry cough about 20-30 minutes after application. An allergic reaction can manifest itself both locally - in the form of redness, erythema and swelling in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bcontact with the patch, and systemically - respiratory phenomena, headache, dizziness, nausea. With bronchial asthma and other ailments that accompany obstruction, there may be difficulty breathing, a feeling of lack of air.

When such symptoms appear, the sticker should be removed as soon as possible in order to stop the effect of essential substances on the child's body. If breathing is difficult, immediately after removing the application, call the child an ambulance, open the windows and provide fresh air.

When using an inhalation patch, parents should remember the following safety measures:

• the patch should not come into contact with damaged skin;
• the child should not touch it with his hands in order to avoid subsequent contact of hands with eyes and mucous membranes;
• before making an application on clothes, be sure to make sure that the child’s pajamas or T-shirt are sewn from natural fabrics without the use of synthetics or semi-synthetics; it is forbidden to glue the “Nozzle” on such fabrics;
• if a child accidentally or intentionally swallows a piece of an inhalation patch, you should consult a doctor for emergency help;
• you need to visit a doctor if the weekly use of the "Nozzle" did not at all alleviate the baby's condition;
• ensure proper storage of unused patches, exclude free access to them for the child;
• do not be afraid to glue the patch on clothes: the composition of the adhesive layer is thought out to the smallest detail - it does not leave stains, marks, “pellets” on the fabric, the clothes will not suffer.

The opinion of Dr. Komarovsky

The well-known pediatrician Yevgeny Komarovsky believes that the treatment of a runny nose in a child should not be limited to the use of pharmacy medicines, since drops, ointments and tablets can quickly remove unpleasant and painful symptoms, but, alas, they are not able to eliminate the very cause of rhinitis.

An inhalation patch is a good treatment, according to Komarovsky, already for the reason that it practically does not harm, and the parents create the right attitude - they treat the child, they are not inactive.

If you choose between drops with a vasoconstrictive effect and the “Nozzle”, there are definitely more advantages for plant stickers.

Regarding the benefits of the patch - a moot point. No application will bring the desired result if the child continues to be in a dusty, stuffy room, even if it is covered with miracle plasters. And therefore, immediately after going to the pharmacy for a package of "Nozzles", the mother should thoroughly wash the floor in the house, wipe off the dust, and ventilate well.

It is better to put books in a cupboard so that they are stored behind glass, and it is better to remove soft toys from the children's room, since they are universal mega-accumulators of house dust.

If the parents decide to use the “Nozzle”, in addition to gluing (two or once a day), the doctor advises to provide a plentiful and warm drink to the child throughout the day, as well as washing the nasal passages with homemade saline or pharmaceutical products based on sea water. This will help to avoid the worst - drying out of nasal mucus. If it dries out, the snot will stop flowing, with a high degree of probability an inflammatory process will develop, which can have long and serious consequences.

For the duration of treatment (and preferably later), according to the Komarovsky method, sufficient air humidity (50-70%) and a certain temperature should be maintained in the room - about 21-22 degrees Celsius. It is also necessary to thin and remove nasal and bronchial mucus and prevent complications.

Only when all these conditions are met will the Nozzle patch work most effectively, and the child will be able to recover faster.

Although even without the "Nozzle", when the right and optimal conditions are created, a runny nose passes on average in 3-6 days. But without "Nozzle" it is difficult for parents, for whom it is very important to "treat at least something" for their son or daughter.

Analogues and prices

The disadvantage of self-preparation is the inability to accurately measure the ratio of the two ingredients in grams, which again increases the likelihood of an allergic reaction.

As for the cost, it is quite high for the original drug: as of June 2018, a package of 4 patches costs an average of 260 rubles, for a box of ten patches you will have to pay 540-580 rubles.

For comparison: the Golden Star balm costs from 120 rubles, and the Wix Active with menthol and eucalyptus costs from 180 rubles.

An approximate calculation of self-production is as follows: eucalyptus oil - 50 rubles, camphor oil - 30 rubles, plus another 30-50 rubles for a patch. Draw your own conclusions.

Overview of reviews

Judging by the reviews of parents on the Internet, allergic reactions to the "Nozzle" occur somewhat more often than the manufacturers promise in the instructions, although this is also the fault of the parents themselves: it can be difficult for many to figure out if there is a synthetic fabric in pajamas, which is why on the skin children in the morning have redness and inflamed areas where the patch came into contact with pajamas or a nightgown.

Some parents use a patch for prevention - during the period of seasonal viral diseases, they attach the “Nozzle” in the car in the morning on the way to school or kindergarten so that the child can breathe in essential oils and gain strength.

You don’t have to worry about the safety of the patch on clothes. According to mothers, it is fastened tightly, and even in a restless and constantly tossing child it does not come off overnight, it remains in place.

Despite the age ban (up to two years), some parents stick applications from an inhalation patch on a crib for babies, reviews of this use are quite positive.

Some children, according to mothers, do not like the smell, they consider it sharp. In this case, mothers go for little tricks - they stick a sticker on their pajamas a couple of hours before bedtime, and when it comes time to go to bed, the smell becomes not so sharp, and the child calmly agrees to put on such pajamas.

Observant parents noted that the patch helps the sick child sleep better and makes breathing a little easier, but, alas, it cannot speed up recovery. Dr. Komarovsky and thousands of other children's doctors fully agree with them. They prescribe "Nozzle" and its analogues, if only as part of complex treatment as a symptomatic remedy.

About what mothers think about the patch for the common cold "Nozzle", see the next video.

The problem of the common cold has been relevant at all times and among all peoples, which is why it is not surprising that a lot of tools have been created to quickly and effectively deal with this problem. Aerosols, sprays, drops, solutions, tablets - all this in its own way allows you to deal with a runny nose and other symptoms of a cold. But if we talk about a practical and convenient device, then undoubtedly the plaster from the common cold deserves special attention.

Despite the fact that such a device is today considered quite popular and widespread, not every person knows the principles of its operation and use. To date, there are quite a few varieties of cold stickers, but the pepper patch is still invariably effective.

Features of pepper patch

Pepper patch is a pepper-based product that has an irritating effect. That is why the use of such a device must be treated very carefully and applied exclusively locally. Such a drug has existed for a long time, and for a very long time its features and composition remain unchanged. The composition of such a tool includes additives such as rubber, petroleum jelly, rosin and belladonna. A special fabric is taken as the basis of the pepper patch, which is impregnated with the above substances.

When using a pepper patch, you must strictly follow the instructions for use. In no case should you increase the duration of use of the product, as this can cause a burn.

The main effect of the pepper patch is a warming effect, but in addition, it is able to have an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as relieve pain. That is why such a remedy is a panacea for many diseases, and not just the common cold. But it should be understood that it is strongly not recommended to use such a device for children, since sensitive children's skin may react negatively to the components of the sticker. It is important to glue the sticker correctly, since its effectiveness and the healing process also depend on this.

Rules for using pepper patch

As already mentioned, pepper patch can be used to treat various diseases, but if a person wants to get rid of a cold with it, then you need to apply the device correctly. So, you need to glue a pepper patch for the treatment of a cold as follows:

• cut off a small flap from a common piece of the product;
• cut the flap into several small pieces;
• glue the pieces in the area of ​​the maxillary sinuses;
• glue the remaining parts of the sticker in the bridge of the nose at the beginning of the eyebrows.

Pepper plaster has a warming effect and thus helps to eliminate the disease.

Contraindications for use

As already noted, the use of a pepper-type device should be treated with extreme caution, since the occurrence of side effects is not excluded. Pepper patch also has a number of contraindications, and this must also be taken into account when using it. This device is not recommended for use in the following cases:

• the occurrence of an allergic reaction after the first use of the product;
• hyperemia or itching at the site of application of the patch;
• vegetative varicose veins;
• areas of the body with sensitive skin.

As for children, as already noted, it is also not recommended to use such a tool for them.

Pepper patch can be used starting from the age of 14; children under this age are shown to use a special children's patch.

Now there are quite a few options for a children's cold patch, but if we talk about the most popular and effective, then this is undoubtedly the drug "Nozzle". Such a device is an adhesive tape that is impregnated with essential oils. The main components of such a remedy are camphor and eucalyptus oil, it is thanks to these substances that the remedy can have an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and also sedative effect. When using the product for children, you can also achieve a vasoconstrictor effect, as well as sputum excretion.

As well as pepper plaster, "Nozzle" gives a warming effect, but at the same time, such a remedy is more gentle and has fewer contraindications. But even despite its many advantages, such a remedy cannot be used for infants under one year old. This is due to the fact that the components of the drug can cause severe allergic reactions on delicate baby skin. Experts recommend using the "Nozzle" tool only when the child reaches the age of two. Moreover, when using the patch for up to a year, there is a risk of laryngeal edema.

The patch "Nozzle" has certain instructions for use, which must be strictly followed in order to avoid side effects and negative consequences.

Before gluing the “Nozzle” product, it is very important to study the instructions for use in detail, since only the correct use of the drug will achieve the maximum effect.

Rules for the use of the drug "Sopelka"

If a person is interested in the question of where to glue the "Nozzle" patch, then the main thing that he needs to remember is that the product should not be applied to the naked body, as this can provoke an allergic reaction or irritation. For children, this patch should be applied to dry and clean clothing, such as pajamas or dressing gowns. For the treatment of a runny nose, the patch is best placed on the top of clothing.

Such a tool has an excellent adhesive base, therefore it is securely fixed on any fabric, except for synthetics. Apply the patch as follows:

• unpack the individual packaging and remove the patch;
• remove the protective layer from the adhesive part of the device;
• attach the flap with the sticky side to dry and clean clothes, preferably to the area near the collar or chest;
• press the patch well to the clothes.

You can stick such a device not only on children's clothes, but also on any objects that are close to them, for example, at the head of the bed, on a night light, and so on.

Precautionary measures

Despite the fact that the Nozzle patch is designed for children and is considered, in principle, harmless, certain precautions must be observed when using it. Firstly, you need to ensure that the product does not come into contact with the skin and, of course, the mucous membranes. Secondly, contact of the surface of the device with the eyes, damaged skin areas and the oral cavity should be avoided. One sticker can only be used once, because after a certain time it loses its properties, since the components of the patch simply disappear.

If the use of stickers has caused side effects, you should immediately stop treatment and consult a specialist. In the absence of the effect of such treatment, you also need to seek help from specialists to prescribe more effective therapy.

Alternative patch options for children

Another fairly effective and popular cold patch for children is MAGIKOPLAST. The main active ingredients of such stickers are natural essential oils of cedar, patchouli, eucalyptus and menthol. The principle of using such stickers is different from the use of "Nozzle". These stickers are applied directly to the skin. Since this is a remedy for the common cold, it must be applied to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe nose. If the standard sticker size is too large, you can adjust it with scissors. This tool can also be used for children over two years old.

One MAGIKOPLAST sticker is designed for an eight-hour exposure, that is, it can be stuck on at night, and while the child is sleeping, the remedy will work. The sticker is very easy to remove, does not irritate the skin and leaves no irritation. Otherwise, the use of the drug should be stopped and consult a doctor.

Among a large number of adhesive products, especially from manufacturers from China, it is customary to include therapeutic plasters against the common cold in a separate group, which can surpass mustard plasters and inhalation preparations in their effective effect. Especially these funds are very popular among mothers, whose children very often fall ill with colds. Children's patches for a runny nose and colds are different, so before buying it is important to carefully consider the drug and its effect.

• patches for inhalation with essential oils in the composition;
• warming strips;

pepper strips

If you follow the instructions for the drug, then there is no special principle for its use. The drug is contraindicated in children under the age of six years, but it is very often prescribed in the presence of a cold infection in older children.
