With proper treatment, the usual form of focal inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia), "disappeared" on the x-ray in two weeks. But this does not mean that a person is healthy, even if he has no occurrences of the disease. It is found that the light forms of pneumonia requires at least one month of treatment, and hard - much larger.

Why inflammation in the lung require long-term treatment

Inflammation pneumonias affects the smallest structure of lung tissue - the alveoli, which are elastic bags at the end of the smallest bronchi - bronchioles. It is these structures perform the most important function of respiration - gas exchange function. The alveoli there is a saturation of arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide content of the alveoli. The alveoli are at the same time should constantly work - the decline, the cracking.

In order to ensure the normal functioning of the alveoli, the body produces different biological materials, for example, a surfactant that facilitates unfolding and inspiratory alveolar substances impeding the penetration of the liquid portion of blood from small blood vessels (capillaries) in the cavity of the alveoli.

When inflammation in the lungs of toxins produced by infectious agents and toxins produced during inflammatory processes (especially septic) have a direct toxic effect on the entire lung alveoli, which results in decreased function of the body. Particularly affected are the alveoli in the affected area of ​​the lung tissue.

Medical rehabilitation after pneumonia

Reducing treatment (rehabilitation) after pneumonia includes physical therapy, physiotherapy, massage, as well as complex to strengthen the body's defenses - immune system.

Appointed as a spa treatment. It is better to carry out such rehabilitation at local health centers, without climate change. But you can also improve your health in sanatoriums located in the Crimea or in Kislovodsk.

Physiotherapy after pneumonia

Physical therapy procedures carried out in order to restore the function of the lung tissue, and prevent a recurrence of the disease. In addition, these procedures are able to positively influence the immune status Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults .

Thus, the impact of different types of electrotherapy directly to the locus of inflammation not only reduces inflammation, but also a beneficial effect on local immunity, and the impact on the area of ​​the adrenal steroid hormones stimulates the release - it actively suppresses inflammation. When conducting electrotherapy reduced immunoglobulin levels (including antibodies Antibodies - "soldiers' immunity   to the body's own tissues), which often hinder recovery, contributing to the development of allergic processes. But it increases cellular immunity - the ability of immune cells to destroy pathogens and damaged tissue, scraping, so the body.

Appointed as inhalation anti-inflammatory, tonic, dilates the bronchi solutions, alkali and oil solutions. They are used as inhalation bactericidal (killing pathogens) mixtures of plant origin (eg, volatile production, contained in coniferous trees).

Physiotherapy after pneumonia

Physiotherapy is introduced into the complex treatment of patients with pneumonia had after the temperature has dropped and will be symptoms of intoxication. First appointed only breathing exercises. But gradually increased physical activity of the patient and is assigned a set of therapeutic exercises.

The patient is recommended maximum exposure to fresh air combined with exercise stress. For this purpose, specially laid great footpaths - path, they exist in all sanatoria and health resorts. Lovely terrenkury Kislovodsk - exercise can be increased without straining and admiring the beautiful park, which houses the health path.

Pneumonia - a disease that can not be cured only medicines requires a fairly lengthy rehabilitation therapy.

Mucosolvan often used for inhalation. In this case it is in the form of aerosol enters directly into the bronchial mucosa and exerts its effect. Lasolvan inhalation and cause some widening of the bronchi, which increases the expectorant effect of this drug.

Features Mucosolvan solution for inhalation

Mucosolvan available in various dosage forms, including in solution. The solution can be taken orally, and by using this solution inhalations. 1 ml solution contains Mucosolvan 7, 5 mg of active substance (ambroxol). In addition, the solution composition includes adjuvants - citric acid, sodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, sodium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, and purified water. This composition allows the use of a solution for inhalation.

Cilia bronchial epithelium under the influence Mucosolvan begin to produce translational movement towards the exit of the bronchial tree, thus bringing phlegm.

Aerosol particles reach the remotest corners of the bronchi and hit the walls of the alveoli (sacs at the ends of the small bronchi, which are the lung tissue), stimulating in them the formation of surfactant - a substance that prevents the adhesion of the alveoli.

Indications and contraindications for inhalation

Inhalation Mucosolvan can be done at any broncho-pulmonary inflammatory disease, which is accompanied by a dry cough. Inhalation can completely replace Mucosolvan reception inside, and they can be combined with the ingestion, without exceeding a total daily dose.

But the most effective inhalation Mucosolvan chronic diseases of bronchial tubes and lungs. For example, in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a result of heavy defeats bronchi violated their permeability, Mucosolvan aerosol acts faster and more efficiently. The same can be said about the use of inhaled Mucosolvan patients with bronchiectasis Bronchiectasis - when the work light under threat . In this case, the expansion of the bronchi are formed where the pus accumulates - such extensions remove pus, hence greatly facilitate the patient's condition.

Finally, asthma attacks are often accompanied by the release of a very viscous mucus that makes breathing difficult patients. Mucosolvan in combination with bronchodilators (drugs, relieves spasms of the bronchi) greatly facilitates the attacks of asthma.

How to conduct inhalation lasolvan

Inhalation held no clean solution Mucosolvan. To humidify the air in a respirator, the solution was diluted by half Mucosolvan saline. Before applying the solution should be slightly warmed - is alert respiratory irritation.

For inhalations with lasolvan mainly used nebulizers - apparatus, by which the drug solution is sprayed in the form of very small particles - aerosol. Nebulayzary may be ultrasound, compression and mixed (the most modern version, called mesh nebulizer).

Nebulizer drug solution spray which then through a mask or breathing tube enters into the respiratory system of the patient. Thus formed aerosol particles are very small, they can penetrate deep into the bronchial tubes and reach the lung tissue - the alveoli and instantly have an effect. When inhalation young children are usually mask and adult patients is better to use a mouthpiece - so fewer Mucosolvan will be scattered in the nasal cavity.

For inhalations using the following amounts of the solution Mucosolvan:

• adults and children over six years - 2-3 ml of solution on inhalation; all carried out from two to three inhalations per day;
• children under six years of age - 2 mL for inhalation; It held one - two inhalations per day.

Side effects

Sometimes deep or irregular breathing during inhalation occurs cough. Therefore, during the procedure it is recommended to breathe calmly. Child prior to inhalation have to reassure, to play with them, to show how the device works.

Dangerous allergic reactions Allergic reactions: how to understand why you tickle in the throat Which can lead to edema or bronchospasm Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause   larynx, so the first few times Mucosolvan better to take in and make sure the patient is not allergic to the drug.
