Drops in the nose with sinusitis - a list of the most effective

A blocked nose significantly reduces a person’s quality of life. The lack of full breathing makes it difficult to sleep, work, and communicate. Using drops in the nose with sinusitis can quickly restore respiratory functions. The main thing is to choose a remedy that optimally matches the individual characteristics of the body. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account the etiology of sinusitis, since the mechanism of action of various types of drugs is significantly different.

How to choose drops in the nose with sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammatory process that affects the sinuses. The disease can develop against the background of the common cold, allergies, infections, or as a complication of chronic rhinitis.

The characteristic signs of pathology are:

• headaches giving to the forehead and temples;
• a slight increase in temperature;
• and nasal voices against persistent nasal congestion.

The use of nasal drops is necessary to eliminate the unpleasant symptoms of sinusitis and restore freedom of breathing. It is important that nasal drops ensure the delivery of therapeutic substances directly to the affected area.

Among the main tasks provided by the use of drops in the nose for the treatment of sinusitis, note:

• slowing the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the inflammatory focus;
• elimination of congestion in the sinuses;
• stimulation of the outflow of the contents of the nasal sinuses;
• moisturizing and relieving swelling of the mucosa.

Thus, those nasal drops that not only affect the pathological process, but also help eliminate the cause of the disease, should be considered the best.

Features of the choice of funds

Depending on the cause of sinusitis, otolaryngologists prescribe the following types of drugs - vasoconstrictor, antibacterial, saline, mucolytic, homeopathic and anti-allergic.

If sinusitis is accompanied by purulent discharge, it can be cured only with the help of antibacterial drops.

• Saline solutions for the nose will help get rid of dry mucous membranes and copious secretory fluid from the sinuses.
• Often, the development of sinusitis is accompanied by an accumulation of thick secretions. The use of mucolytic drugs helps to thin the mucus and its output.
• Restoring normal breathing when the nose is very stuffy is most convenient with decongestants.

For the treatment of children and pregnant women from sinusitis, the use of homeopathic medicines is more appropriate.

Most effective antibiotic drops - list

If the development of sinusitis was facilitated by a defeat of the nasal mucosa by bacteria, nose drops with an antibiotic are used for treatment.

The most effective antibacterial drugs are recognized:

• Polydex is a French-made nasal spray. The drug is based on a combination of three active components: neomycin sulfate, dexamethasone and polymyxin sulfate. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
• "Isofra" is a spray from the group of aminoglycosides. The active substance is framycetin sulfate. It has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. It is characterized by the absence of adverse reactions.
• "Bioparox" - spray based on fusafungin. It has a powerful effect on pathogenic microorganisms, helps to eliminate inflammation.

The use of antibacterial agents is considered inappropriate if addiction has developed in the patient's body due to the prolonged use of any antibiotic drug.

Also, the use of antibiotics will not bring the proper result if the patient’s blood flow is weakened due to significant swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Decongestants - vasoconstrictor drops

Decongestants are called vasoconstrictor drops that eliminate swelling of the mucosa and normalize breathing. The action of such drugs is due to the ability to stimulate adrenergic receptors, as a result of which there is a narrowing of the vessels of the whole body, a decrease in blood supply to the nasal mucosa and a decrease in edema.

Decongestants are of two types - based on one active substance in the composition and combined.

The most common are drugs based on such active ingredients:

• Oksinmetazolin ("Nazivin", "Knoxpray", "Nazol"). Reduce inflammation and hyperemia of the mucosa in rhinitis, sinusitis and allergic diseases.
• Naphazaline ("Sanorin", "Naphthyzin"). Medicines with pronounced vasoconstrictive action. Reduce puffiness, slow down inflammatory processes, quickly facilitate breathing. They differ in the duration of the preservation of the therapeutic result.
• Xylometazoline (Otrivin, Rinonorm, Galazolin, Xymelin). Narrow the small vessels of the nasal mucosa, eliminate hyperemia and edema, normalize the patency of the nasal passages.
• Tetrizoline ("Tizin"). Medicines from the group of anticonjugants and alpha-adrenergic agonists. Effective with severe swelling of the nasal mucosa. Forbidden with dry rhinitis.

Combined nasal preparations (Vibrocil, Rinofluimucil), along with decongestant, may contain histamine blockers, antiallergic substances or mucolytics.

To avoid the body getting used to the medicine, doctors do not recommend the use of vasoconstrictor drugs for sinusitis for more than five days.

Saline drops in the nose with sinusitis

The use of saline solutions for the nose is a simple and effective way to treat the common cold in children. Saline solutions are used both for instillation of the nose and for washing it.

Nevertheless, drugs based on saline solutions are classified as preventive measures, because by providing hydration of the mucosa, they can only prevent its drying out, but they do not relieve the disease itself and its symptoms.

Recommended means for washing the nasal passages: "Aquamaris", "Salin", saline.

Mucolytic agents - list

According to the observations of ENT doctors, sinusitis in adults is often accompanied by an accumulation of thickened mucus. Such pathological foci contribute to the activity of pathogenic microorganisms and provoke an exacerbation of inflammatory processes.

Therefore, the treatment of sinusitis involves the use of mucolytic drugs that provide thinning of the mucus and stimulate its withdrawal from the sinuses.

Mucolytic drugs are especially popular:

• Sinuforte is a herbal remedy. An extract from cyclamen root provides a quick liquefaction of secretory clots and increases the intensity of their output. Also, the medicine helps to reduce swelling and normalize the state of the nasopharynx.
• "Rinofluimucil" is a combination of two active ingredients. The combination of tuamine-heptane and acetylcysteine ​​provides not only mucolytic and anti-inflammatory, but also antioxidant effects.

In most cases, mucolytic drugs are prescribed when a runny nose has passed into the stage of sinusitis, of which sinusitis is a variety.

Moreover, without the use of mucolytics it is impossible to completely cure sinusitis.

Antiallergic drops

Allergic rhinitis is manifested not only in shortness of breath, but also in frequent sneezing, accompanied by itching and severe inflammatory processes on the surface of the mucosa. Often an allergy is expressed in a change in the voice timbre and loss of smell. Antiallergic nasal drops are the best way to get rid of an ailment.

Eliminate unpleasant symptoms will help:

• Antihistamines (Allergodil Spray, Tizin Allergy). Drugs that block the action of histamine - a substance, a huge amount of which is secreted in the body, as a response to allergies.
• Cromones (Cromohexal, Kromosol, Lecrolin, Lumozol). Medicines that reduce the intensity of allergy manifestations (reduce itching and the number of secretions, relieve swelling of the mucosa).

Additionally, other types of medications that reduce the symptoms of rhinitis and sinusitis are allowed.

The effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs depends on the activity of the allergen. Therefore, during the treatment period, it is necessary to minimize the patient’s contact with substances that cause allergies.

Homeopathic remedies for sinusitis

Homeopathy in the treatment of sinusitis involves the use of medicines made on the basis of plant extracts and essential oils. Despite the fact that homeopathic remedies do not provide a quick result, the effect of their impact persists for a long time.

In the list of the most popular homeopathy medicines:

• "Pinosol" - soft drops based on essential oil of eucalyptus, pine and mint. It has a bactericidal, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect. The medicine is approved for use during pregnancy and lactation.
• “Delufen” is a nasal spray based on extracts of medicinal plants: black mustard, milkweed, resinous, lumbago meadow. Provides a reduction in inflammation and a decrease in edema. Helps restore breathing and smell. Does not cause mucosal irritation and addiction.
