Why did we decide to consider folk remedies to cure adenoids for children? The answer is quite simple - after all, this disease has long been known to people, and for a long time mankind has found many excellent methods of getting rid of it. Our great-grandmothers did not have the opportunity for every "trifle" to seek help from a doctor, but in our time, everything that concerns the health of our children should be considered very seriously.
For what reason do adenoids almost never disturb adults? After the transition of the child during adolescence, the size of the adenoids decreases, and in order to reach adolescence, only the smallest remains of the tissue are most often observed. When reaching adulthood, there is almost complete atrophy of adenoids.
If the adenoids are greatly expanded , they can become a breeding ground for various adenoviruses, they contain all kinds of pathogenic fungi and microorganisms that become agents of various diseases, for example, measles, scarlet fever and others.
How exactly does the disease manifest itself? If the child has adenoids, then his nose is constantly embedded, with permanent and abundant secretions. In the absence of timely measures for the treatment of the disease, its further development may have a negative impact on the child's voice and hearing. If you show any signs of the disease, you need to see a doctor, and we will give you several recipes for treating adenoids with folk remedies, which you can use in combination with the doctor's recommendations in order to achieve the greatest effect.
It should be noted that if you decide to perform a nasal drip treatment based on medicinal herbs, many knowledgeable people recommend pre-dripping a solution of sea salt into your nose to release breathing and improve patency. For a small child, this procedure, of course, can become very unpleasant, because even in adults sea salt will cause burning and irritation in the nasal passages, so this procedure can cause a baby a tantrum. And the mucosa of children's noses is much more sensitive and tender than in adults, accordingly, the irritation will be strong enough, probably this method is not very suitable for kids.
