With or without medication, the cold or the flu can give you real trouble. You can choose from a variety of medications that can give you some relief in symptoms or you can take the natural approach that may prevent, speed your recovery and help you feel better along the way.
When children are coming to a cold or flu can or other upper respiratory infection also ends in an ear infection - acute obits media - that appear in the space behind the eardrum that is called the middle ear.
During a cold, throat infection, allergy or other upper respiratory infection, inflammation of the Eustachian tube and prevents air from entering the middle ear, leading to allow secretions enter the middle ear and be trapped there. This leads to viruses and bacteria to grow and cause infection.
Using salt therapy you can prevent or reduce symptoms of infection from the cold, flu or ear. If your baby has a stuffy nose and has difficulty breast or bottle feeding or seems short of breath, the Salin device is the best. Using Salin overnight, while the dreams, your baby does not wake up due to stuffy nose. He or she can breathe normally, the inhaled saline will open the airways, will clean secretions and kill bacteria, reducing the duration of the cold or flu and preventing an ear infection.
Acting as mucokinetic, restore the normal transport of mucus and unclog blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles and upper airways. The inhaled saline is hydrophilic, so it absorbs the edema from the mucosa lining the steps of the airway.
In the bronchial tree: Absorption of inflammatory edema of the mucosa lining the bronchial tree, causing asthma, will be decreased, leading to widening of the airway passes. Also, wet and thins bronchial secretions in the bronchial tree leading to the relief of bronchi-spasm that assists and improves the treatment of asthma. In the nose and Para-nasal sinuses, edema of the nasal mucosa, causing nasal obstruction, will be decreased, leading to widening of the passage of the airway in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses and improve drainage of the sinuses .
In the auditory tube: Edema of the Eustachian tube mucosa, causing obstruction media and otitis, will be decreased, leading to widening of the steps in the air, a better drainage of the inflammatory secretions and better aeration behind the tympanic membrane (drum).
The respiratory hygiene is a very important place in treating a prevention of a respiratory infection or ear infection. Here are some tips:
Use the Slain device and the pipe of salt to clear the entire airway.
Properly blow your nose often - do not blow your nose just as discharge pressure can lead your steps back into the ear. Press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently the other.
Clean your nose with saline solution: mix 1.25 g salt in 1 cup warm water (body temperature) or you can also add salt in the quantities of half-half and baking soda. Put a few drops in each nostril.
Place an extra pillow under your head creating an angle. The best way is to place it under the mattress to create a smooth slope. This will help with nasal congestion and also prevent ear infection.
