What Are The Common Causes Of Strepsils
A sore throat and cough usually mean that your child has a cold or some other upper respiratory infection. But there are other causes for these symptoms. Your child can have a sore throat and cough due to streptococcus bacteria, which is commonly found in the nose and mouth. Colds are caused by viruses and the strep virus is always present in the environment, but your child can get a sore throat and cough out of something that didn’t occur to them.
There are many products on the market designed to treat sore throats and coughs, including sprays, syrups, tablets, lozenges and powders. Parents often wonder if these products are dangerous. Research shows that some strepsils sore throat and cough lozenges can be harmful if not used properly. Here are some tips to help you choose a product that will be safe for your child.
Many strepsils sore throat and cough lozenges have a small packet with an artificial sweetener, dextrose, glucose, maltodextrin or rice starch. When these products are used regularly, they produce high levels of sulphites sulphur in the liquid. The sulphites sulphur causes irritation and inflammation of the membranes in the inner parts of the mouth, throat and lungs. If the sufferer doesn’t brush and floss regularly, the build up can be hard to remove.

A good recommendation is to avoid the use of any irritants when treating sore throats and irritating coughs. For example, if you are taking antibiotics, make sure you avoid any products that contain antibiotics such as aspirin, ibuprofen, nylibuprofen, tablet preparations, muscle relaxants, tramadol, and asthma medications. These medicines can be listed on the bottle as ‘steroidal antibiotics’ or ‘bacterial antibiotics’. Avoid them if possible.
Other medications that can be potentially toxic include antihistamines (decongestants), antiparkinsonics (cholinergic agents), sedatives and tranquillizers. So, it is recommended that you avoid taking these drugs if you suffer from these symptoms persistently. Another concern is the use of analgesics such as paracetamol for inducing cough because, although it is considered to relieve the pain of a cough it can also be very harmful to your general health. It should therefore be used with caution.
Another homeopathic remedy is Echinacea that is considered to be a good treatment for sore throats, acute and chronic rhinitis and chronic sinus problems. It can be taken in both capsule and liquid form. Liquid Echinacea should be taken every morning following a meal and then another cup before going to bed. If you do not take this homeopathic remedy for a minimum of six months, then your throat might become too dry and itchy. Capsules of Echinacea can be decanted into a warm glass of water and then taken with a mild local anaesthetic agent. In case of acute nasal congestion, a small amount of this liquid can be diluted in the nose with a few teaspoons of honey.
