Treatment of adenoids in children with homeopathy

Homeopathy is an alternative method of treatment that involves the use of highly diluted drugs, which in high concentrations can provoke the development of the disease. The concept of therapy with homeopathic remedies is based on the principle of eliminating like with like.

Can homeopathy be used for adenoids? WHO warns against treatment with homeopathic medicines in the development of serious diseases. Experts argue that the effectiveness of homeopathy has not been confirmed by mainstream medicine and therefore cannot be used as an alternative method for treating serious pathologies. Despite this, many large pharmaceutical concerns are producing homeopathic remedies based on medicinal herbs that can be used as an adjunct to the conservative treatment of adenoid vegetations.

Homeopathy - what is it?

Within the framework of official medicine, the effectiveness of the use of homeopathic treatment has no evidence base. For this reason, many specialists in the field of otolaryngology are skeptical about alternative methods of therapy for adenoid vegetations in children. Despite the skepticism of adherents of orthodox medicine, drugs with minimal concentrations of active substances that provoke the development of the disease have a beneficial effect on the well-being of patients and accelerate the healing process.

Can a child recover from adenoids with alternative therapy drugs? It should be understood that pharmacotherapy agents are effective in treating grade 1 adenoid vegetation development. With a significant decrease in hearing and dysfunction of nasal breathing, which are observed at stages 2 and 3 of the proliferation of lymphadenoid tissues, drug treatment will be ineffective.

A severely enlarged nasopharyngeal tonsil can only be removed surgically. No means of official and alternative medicine are able to restore the normal physiological size of an organ in the event of significant proliferation of glandular tissues. That is why, when the first symptoms of pathology are detected, it is impossible to postpone a visit to the doctor and, accordingly, drug treatment.

How homeopathy works

Industrial Homeopathy is a safe and effective herbal medicine that is used to relieve ENT symptoms in children. At the same time, it is not recommended to use alternative therapy for the treatment of infectious diseases at the stage of exacerbation of inflammatory reactions.

Important! You can not use homeopathy to treat adenoiditis with hyperthermia, severe rhinitis and purulent inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil.

Homeopathic medicines can be used to treat chronic ENT diseases during remission, i.e. weakening of inflammatory processes. The expressed therapeutic properties of alternative medicine include:

optimization of metabolic metabolism;
stimulation of local and general immunity;
activation of biochemical processes;
normalization of the outflow of lymph from tissues;
decrease in the degree of allergization of the child's body;
acceleration of regeneration processes;
reducing the number of relapses of respiratory diseases.

Important! The therapy regimen should be determined only by a qualified homeopath, since some herbal remedies can provoke an allergic reaction in a child.

How is homeopathic treatment useful for adenoids in children? Phyto-homeopathy promotes desensitization and increased reactivity of the child's body. It is the frequent relapses of infectious inflammation of the nasopharyngeal mucosa that provoke the proliferation of adenoid tissues. Strengthening the immune activity prevents the reproduction of opportunistic microorganisms in the respiratory tract, due to which the restoration of the normal physiological dimensions of the pharyngeal tonsil is observed.

Universal remedies

Depending on the clinical manifestations, history and age of the patient, homeopaths prepare medications on their own with the required concentration of active substances. However, many drugs that prevent the development of adenoid vegetations can be purchased at pharmacies. Some of the most effective “universal” herbal preparations include:

"Job-Malysh" is a compositional remedy that has pronounced antiphlogistic and wound-healing properties; it is used to treat adenoid vegetations, inflammation in the nasopharynx, tonsillitis and colds;
Tui oil is a nasal agent with antiseptic, vasoconstrictor, antimicrobial and antiphlogistic properties; eliminates the swelling of lymphadenoid tissues, which facilitates breathing through the nose;
"Adenopay" is a preparation based on herbal ingredients that enhances tissue reactivity and epithelialization of adenoid tissues;
"Hamomilla" is an antitussive agent that normalizes the activity of the central nervous system; eliminates irritation in the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx, which prevents the occurrence of laryngospasm;
"Siknazin" is a combined anti-inflammatory agent used to treat the upper respiratory system - paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, throat, etc.

The duration of therapy with homeopathic medicines is at least 6-10 months.

The above drugs can eliminate stagnant processes in the nasopharynx and prevent the development of side diseases such as sinusitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, etc. Homeopathic remedies not only eliminate the manifestations of adenoid vegetations, but also contribute to an increase in the reactivity of the body. The systematic use of drugs prevents septic inflammation of the tonsil in the fornix of the nasopharynx and the development of retronasal tonsillitis.

Reparative means

It should be understood that the treatment of adenoids in children with homeopathy should be accompanied by the use of traditional antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agents. Complex therapy accelerates the regeneration process of the affected tissues and the restoration of the normal size of the nasopharyngeal tonsil.

It is possible to accelerate the epithelization of lymphadenoid accumulations with the help of such homeopathic preparations:

"Staphyzagria" is a drug of analgesic and mucolytic action, which accelerates the process of removing pathological mucus from the nasal passages, thereby accelerating the restoration of adenoid tissues;
"Arnika-Heel" is a drug of detoxification, reparative and antiphlogistic action, the components of which reduce the severity of exudative processes and stimulate cellular mitosis;
"Bellis" is a phytopreparation of analgesic, decongestant and regenerative action, which is used to treat adenoiditis, chronic rhinitis and abscesses in the ENT organs;
"Gidrastis" is a medication with anti-inflammatory and reparative action, eliminating chronic catarrh of mucous membranes in the nasal cavity;
"Eucalyptus Viminalis" - an antiseptic, wound healing and anti-edema agent; used in the treatment of adenoids, vasomotor and allergic rhinitis.

Homeopathic remedies help to "preserve" the pharyngeal tonsil, but not to reduce its size.

It should be understood that homeopathy does not promote the involution of adenoid vegetations.Due to the anti-edema and antiphlogistic action, herbal remedies allow to normalize the outflow of lymph from the affected tissues and thus somewhat reduce the size of the hypertrophied organ. However, they do not contribute to the destruction of "extra" structures in the overgrown lymphadenoid clusters.

Immunostimulating agents

Due to the lack of specific immunity, young children are 5 times more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases than adults. Septic inflammation of the respiratory system disrupts the drainage function of lymphoid tissues, as a result of which the immune organs, in particular the nasopharyngeal tonsil, become breeding grounds for infections. The development of ENT pathologies can be prevented only if the body's resistance increases.

You can improve local and general immunity with the following homeopathic medicines:

Galium-Heel is a medication with detoxification and immunostimulating action, which increases nonspecific immunity by neutralizing toxic substances in the systemic circulation;
"Influcid" is a homeopathic immunostimulating, anti-cold and expectorant agent that helps to relieve the symptoms of adenoids and retronasal tonsillitis;
"Euphorbium compositum" is an anti-allergic, immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory drug that increases the body's resistance to infections;
"Lachesis compositum" is an anti-inflammatory immunostimulant that relieves the manifestations of acute inflammation in the ENT organs of any localization;
"Korizalia" is a phytopreparation of immunostimulating action, which reduces the intensity of septic inflammation in the respiratory organs; quickly relieves the symptoms of rhinorrhea, tissue edema, cough, etc.

Important! Immunostimulating homeopathic remedies are symptomatic drugs, therefore, do not can replace etiotropic therapy.

Immunostimulants based on medicinal plants have practically no contraindications. They are used to increase the body's resistance in anticipation of infectious epidemic diseases. It is recommended to use homeopathic medicines for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases and adenoids in children suffering from secondary immunodeficiency.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

Homeopathic preparation with antiphlogistic action accelerates the regression of pathological reactions in adenoid tissues. Alternative medicine successfully cope with inflammation and swelling of the nasopharynx, due to which the circulation of lymph in adenoid vegetations is normalized. Thus, it is possible to prevent the development of chronic rhinitis, which subsequently leads to the destruction and hypertrophy of the ciliated epithelium.

Homeopathic remedies with a pronounced antiphlogistic effect include:

"Agrafis Nutans" is a wound-healing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug that helps to eliminate swelling in the nasal cavity and Eustachian tubes; used to eliminate the symptoms of rhinitis, eustachitis, otitis media and other complications of adenoids;
"Silicea" - an antiphlogistic herbal remedy that prevents the development of pyogenic microbes in the foci of inflammation; accelerates the regression of purulent inflammation that occurs with bacterial rhinitis and adenoiditis;
"Calcarea carbonica" - an analgesic and antiseptic drug, which is used in the treatment of septic inflammation of the lymph nodes and adenoid vegetations;
"Edas 125" - nasal drops of antiphlogistic and vasoconstrictor action, destroying pathogenic bacteria and yeast-like fungi; restores mucociliary clearance and evacuation of mucus from the nasal passages.

Multicomponent phytopreparations have a wide spectrum of action, therefore they can be used to eliminate inflammatory reactions not only in the pharyngeal tonsil, but also in the mucous membranes of the laryngopharynx. The active components of homeopathic medicines gently affect the mucous membrane, preventing irritation and drying out.

Pharmacy preparations

Homeopathy is one of the effective methods of treating adenoid vegetations in children at the initial stages of the development of pathology. Herbal medicines can be combined with traditional pharmacotherapy without fear of allergic reactions. Many large pharmaceutical companies specialize in the production of homeopathic medicines, which are readily available at your regular pharmacy.

In the treatment of adenoids and retronasal sore throat (adenoiditis), medications such as:

"Delufen" - a nasal spray of decongestant, reparative and anti-allergic action, which is used to eliminate the symptoms of chronic and allergic rhinitis; reduces the secretory activity of the mucous epithelium, which prevents the accumulation of pathological secretions in the nasal cavity;
"Aflubin" is an immunomodulating, detoxifying, antiphlogistic and analgesic drug that stimulates nonspecific immunity and stops the manifestations of adenoid vegetations;
"Oscillococcinum" is a homeopathic herbal remedy for cough and decongestant action, which helps to normalize the outflow of lymph from the hypertrophied tonsil; eliminates nasal congestion and postnasal mucus flow syndrome;
Tonsilotren is an anti-inflammatory agent that is used to accelerate regeneration processes after adenotomy or tonsillectomy;
"Lymphomyosot" is a homotoxic drug that normalizes the drainage function of lymphoid tissues and prevents the development of septic inflammation in adenoid vegetations.

Important! Some homeopathic remedies stimulate the hormone production of the thymus gland, which can lead to the development of thyrotoxicosis in case of irrational use of medicines.

The scheme for taking homeopathic medicines depends on the concomitant etiotropic therapy and the dynamics of the development of pathological processes in the pharyngeal tonsil. For this reason, before using medications, you should consult a doctor and be observed by an otolaryngologist throughout the entire course of drug therapy. Since homeopathy is a non-toxic type of treatment, it can be used to strengthen the child's body and increase its resistance.
