Choosing effective medicinal lozenges for coughs and sore throats

The best cough and sore throat remedies for adults and children

The change of seasons is always a test for the human body, especially when we move inexorably from the warmth of summer to the cold of winter. We are accompanied on this journey by unpleasant companions - runny nose, cough and sore throat.

These symptoms are a sign of an infection in the body. And so that you can meet it fully armed, we will tell you about the best remedies for coughs and sore throats.

Important: all of the remedies described below have contraindications and possible side effects. Before taking any of them, you should consult your doctor.

The best cough tablets for adults

3. Grammidin

The average price is 270 rubles.

Typically, the basis of all remedies for cold symptoms are antimicrobial drugs that slow down the growth and development of bacteria. Grammidin is that rare bird that contains an antibiotic, namely gramicidin C. It fights streptococci and staphylococci, and over time the bacteria do not become resistant to it.

There is both “pure” Grammidin on sale - it contains only an antibiotic (not counting excipients), and in combination with an anesthetic. We recommend the second type of medicine, because 30-40 minutes after taking it, a person feels relief and can swallow without pain.

In addition to colds, Grammidin can be used for diseases or injuries of the oral cavity (for example, wounds).

The main disadvantage of this good drug for sore throat is its price. It will cost about twice as much as other tablets.

2. Faringosept

The average price is 160 rubles.

One of the best cough tablets that were used back in Soviet times. The main active ingredient of the drug is ambazone. It has proven itself in the fight against microbes that usually cause infections of the mouth and upper respiratory tract (streptococci and pneumococci).

And for taste, cocoa extract is added to these tablets, so they look a pleasant coffee color and taste sweet, with chocolate notes. For those interested, they recently began producing a lemon version.

It is recommended to take Faringosept after meals and then not eat or drink for another couple of hours. Or at least refrain from drinking for about half an hour, because it is after this time period that the medicine has its maximum disinfecting effect.

1. Neo-angina

The average price is 110 rubles.

Inexpensive and effective Neo-angin cough tablets disinfect the oral cavity due to the presence of two antibacterial substances in the composition. And another substance, levomenthol, is responsible for a local irritating effect (that’s why many who dissolved the tablet noted that it “stung” - this is the effect of levomenthol).

Neo-angin also has a weak anesthetic effect. And especially for diabetics there is a Neo-angina formula without sugar.

Using the drug is as easy as shelling pears. True, as patients noted, sometimes resorption turns into a real test due to the abundance of levomenthol and essential oils in the composition. You have to hold the tablet between your teeth so that your mouth can “rest.”

The best cough syrups for adults

3. Ambroxol (Ecolab)

The average price is 46 rubles.

This is a domestic, inexpensive analogue of expensive drugs, well-known (and widely advertised) foreign drugs. These include Lazolvan, Ambrobene and many others.

All of them are made on the basis of abmroxol hydrochloride - this product reduces the viscosity of sputum, eases the cough, turning it from “dry” to “wet”, and helps remove accumulated phlegm from the respiratory tract.

The product from the Ecolab company is distinguished by the presence of medical alcohol among the excipients. Because of this, it doesn't taste very pleasant, and even banana flavoring doesn't help the situation. But Ambroxol from Ecolab will cost much less than its imported counterparts. And it will serve just as effectively.

2. Herbion primrose syrup

The average price is 283 rubles.

This effective and delicious cough syrup is plant-based. It contains extracts of primrose and thyme, as well as levomenthol. It has both an antitussive and anti-inflammatory agent, and also limits the growth and development of pathogens.

It helps if the cough is severe and the sputum is very thick, viscous and difficult to clear. The main disadvantage of the drug is that it contains quite a lot of sugar, so it is not suitable for diabetics.

1. Stoptussin

The average price is 237 rubles.

This drug can be found in both tablets and liquid form. Its two active ingredients, guaifenesin and butamirate citrate, are responsible for cough suppression.

Unlike Gerbion, Stoptussin increases the viscosity of sputum. It happens that it is so liquid that the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi cannot cope with its removal and it accumulates in the respiratory tract. Stoptussin corrects this by thickening the mucus to make it easier for the body to get rid of it.

The drug is very effective, but, like Ambroxol from Ecolab, it contains alcohol. He also has a children's version.

The best cough lozenges for adults

3. Doctor MoM

The average price is 160 rubles.

Inexpensive cough lozenges Doctor MoM come in a variety of flavors: there are berry, lemon, raspberry, and pineapple. The main active ingredient of the medicine is licorice root extract, proven over generations.

In addition to licorice, there is also an extract of ginger roots and the fruits of Emblica officinalis. Levomenthol is also present.

To the credit of the creators of the lozenge recipe, they managed to disguise the pronounced and memorable taste of licorice roots so well that it is almost not felt, and levomenthol tingles pleasantly in the mouth without burning it.

Lozenges have an expectorant, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic effect.

2. Bronchicum

The average price is 222 rubles.

This drug comes in two forms: syrup and lozenges. It is created on the basis of extracts of medicinal plants, the main of which are thyme and primrose. These herbs have an anti-inflammatory effect and help loosen mucus and clear the throat.

1. Septolete

The average price is 238 rubles.

Septolete lozenges are a whole storehouse of essential oils: they contain mint, eucalyptus, and the well-known menthol. However, they also contain other active ingredients - thymol and benzalkonium chloride, intended to slow down the growth and development of gram-positive bacteria, which most often cause colds.

Thanks to essential oils, Septolete relieves pain and irritation in the throat, and eucalyptus helps the patient breathe, if not fully, then definitely more freely than before taking the drug.

The only disadvantage of these lozenges (apart from heightened individual sensitivity to the components of the drug) is the presence of sugar, up to 175 mg. So they are not suitable for diabetics.

The best sprays (aerosols) for sore throat for adults

3. Inhalipt

The average price is 126 rubles.

The top three among sprays and aerosols is opened by the Russian product Ingalipt. Its main advantage over sore throat remedies in other forms is ease of application.

Thanks to pressure supply (created automatically, like aerosols, or manually, like sprays), small drops of the drug evenly cover the inflamed surface and reach even the most inaccessible corners.

Important: before using sprays and aerosols, you will need to rinse your mouth thoroughly. And, of course, it is recommended to use these drugs after meals.

Ingalipt differs from other products in the rating by perhaps the most diverse composition.

• It contains both extracts of medicinal herbs and essential oils, as well as medical drugs norsulfazole and streptocide.
• If the former relieve pain, refresh the mouth and throat and disinfect, then the latter fight germs.
• And since all these substances are contraindicated only for people with acute individual sensitivity, Ingalipt can be used by everyone - from pregnant and lactating women to children.

The main disadvantage of the drug is that its main “weapon”, antimicrobial agents, are already outdated. They have been used in medicine for many years, and most microorganisms have developed resistance to them. But if you just have a common cold, then Inhalipt will quite effectively relieve pain and inflammation.

2. Yox

The average price is 185 rubles.

The name of the drug is telling - it is immediately clear that it contains iodine. And it’s true, Yox is a modern, improved and more pleasant to use version of a product that has been proven literally for centuries - iodine solution.

It is worth considering that modern iodine solutions are made based on its organic form, which has a better effect on the body. Allantoin (local pain reliever), traditional menthol fragrance and other medicinal and cosmetic substances are also added to the Yox solution.

The drug disinfects the mouth and throat and fights germs, and also relieves inflammation. You can use it frequently - up to an interval of only 3-4 hours, if necessary.

True, it is tolerated by an ordinary healthy person without any problems, but in people with acute sensitivity to iodine or thyroid diseases, the consequences can be unpleasant. Yox should not be used by expectant mothers or breastfeeding women, as well as by children under 8 years of age.

1. Maxicold Lore

The average price is 240 rubles.

One of the best cold sprays contains the substance hexethidine. This is a disinfectant that prevents pathogenic microorganisms (gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi) from growing and developing. In addition, hexethidine also has a weak analgesic effect, which, you see, is a very valuable property in the midst of an illness.

After application, the drug remains on the mucous membrane for a long time, maintaining an active – that is, destructive for bacteria – concentration. And traces of it remain in the mouth and throat for about two and a half days.

Several drugs contain hexetidine on the Russian market, for example, the French drug Hexoral or its domestic analogue, Maxicold Lor. Inside the can there is a liquid, which, in the best traditions of dentistry, is flavored with mint.

It’s not in vain that we talk about dentistry, because the drug, thanks to its antimicrobial and analgesic effect, is actively used in this area. It is prescribed for inflammation in the mouth, gingivitis, stomatitis, after tooth extraction and other invasive dental operations.

For colds and sore throats, it is enough to spray the drug in the mouth twice a day; This is usually done after a meal so that the drug remains in the mouth in active concentration for as long as possible.

Hexethidine has virtually no contraindications, unless we are talking about a rare individual intolerance to the drug.

The best cough and sore throat remedies for children

Children need special dosage forms that differ from adult medications. For example, it is not recommended to use sprays and aerosols for very young children, due to the fact that many babies are not able to hold their breath.

It is better not to give lozenges to children under three years of age (they simply swallow them); the tablet may also get into the windpipe.

3. Eucabal cough syrup

The average price is 234 rubles.

The main active ingredients of this syrup are plantain and thyme extracts. It is prescribed if a child suffers from a cough with poorly produced sputum or a debilitating spasmodic cough.

According to reviews, this is a good syrup that helps with both dry and wet coughs. In addition, it contains a minimum of “chemicals”, but parents usually try to buy cough remedies for their children with a large number of natural ingredients and a minimum amount of excipients.

2. Gedelix cough syrup

The average price is 377 rubles.

If there is sputum, but it is difficult to separate, Gedelix syrup will come to the rescue. This is one of the best symptomatic remedies for flu and colds, created on the basis of ivy plant extract. It helps loosen mucus and cough it out, clearing the airways.

Gedelix can be given to children aged one year and older.

1. Dr. Theis syrup with plantain

The average price is 260 rubles.

One of the main advantages of Dr. Theis syrup is its taste. Some children even became upset when they realized that they had recovered and they would no longer be given syrup.

This product is created on the basis of herbal preparations, and the main one among them is plantain extract. In addition to it, the composition also contains chamomile, gum, fennel, lemon balm, and so on.

The syrup is thick, with a pleasant taste and smell. Of course, it does not act as quickly as products with synthetic drugs, but the child will drink it with pleasure and without any problems. It is used when the cough is wet, and when you need to help the child get rid of mucus accumulated in the lungs and respiratory tract.

11 best remedies for sore throat

During the cold season, most people experience a sore throat at least once. What are some ways to relieve this symptom? Top 11 best drugs for sore throat in an article by therapist Olga Tufanova.

1. Lollipops Grammidin Neo

Modern lollipops to eliminate this unpleasant symptom are not just a pleasant treat. Local treatment for sore throat is a very effective remedy that allows you to quickly cope with discomfort and unpleasant sensations.

The composition of the lollipops includes an antiseptic and anesthetic. The first substance has a disinfecting effect, and the second has an analgesic effect. In addition, sucking lollipops increases the production of saliva, which washes away viral particles from the surface of the mucosa.

2. Hexoral Tabs

This medicine for sore throat is intended for resorption, because it must be kept in the mouth until completely dissolved in saliva. It will begin to act within 20-30 seconds.

Hexoral Tabs contains an antiseptic, an anesthetic and a number of excipients that give a mint taste. The medicine remains in saliva for up to 8 hours. Thus, it is enough to take 3 tablets per day for the therapeutic effect to last the whole day.

3. Stopangin

This drug was created to treat pharyngitis, a disease that most often causes sore throat.

Stopangin contains a local antimicrobial agent and an anesthetic. It is also available in the form of lollipops, which turns treatment into a pleasant process of sucking sweet candy.

Stopangin is also available in the form of a spray or solution for application directly to the pharyngeal mucosa, so this medicine for sore throat is convenient for people with different preferences.

4. Septolete Neo

These are medicinal lozenges intended for the treatment of ENT diseases. In addition, Septolete is used for dental diseases.

These lozenges contain an effective antiseptic that fights microorganisms in the oral cavity. In addition, Septolete enhances salivation, due to which viral particles are quickly washed off from the surface of the mucous membrane. The effect lasts 3 hours, after which you can get a new lozenge.

Septolete Neo is contraindicated for children under 4 years of age.

5. Faringosept

This medicine for sore throat comes in the form of tablets that have a pleasant coffee taste.

Faringosept contains an antiseptic substance that is active against the causative agents of colds. The tablets should be placed under the tongue and kept there until completely dissolved.

It is important to remember that eating significantly reduces the effectiveness of Faringosept, so you should refrain from both eating and drinking for 2 hours after its use; it is better to do this in advance.

6. Tea with honey and raspberries

Tea with honey and raspberries can be called the most popular folk remedy for sore throat. The cheap components of this “medicine” can be purchased in every store and then used more than once or twice.

Honey and raspberries contain vitamin C, which is important for health, which speeds up recovery, and plenty of fluid intake helps quickly remove viral particles from the mucous membrane of the throat and excretion from the body. However, make sure that the temperature of the tea is not too high. It should not exceed 40°C, because too hot tea can cause burns to the mucous membrane, which is irritated, inflamed and sensitive.

7. Ice cream

Oddly enough, some medical experts consider ice cream to be a food that relieves sore throats. The mechanism is simple: cold is a kind of anesthetic that blocks the sensitivity of receptors in the oral mucosa. A person simply stops feeling this pain for a short period of time.

For this reason, ice cream is recommended to be used after tonsil removal, because vasoconstriction helps to quickly stop bleeding after surgery.

However, if you have bacterial tonsillitis, you should not eat ice cream.

8. Baking soda rinse

Rinsing the mouth with a solution of baking soda is a traditional method of relieving toothache, but it is also used for discomfort in the throat.

Soda does not have any therapeutic effect, but when rinsing, viral particles are washed off from the surface of the mucous membrane. This helps to quickly cure both pharyngitis and sore throat.

9. "Lion Pose"

To quickly reduce a sore throat is breathing exercises. However, not all types of gymnastics are suitable for this. The best way to help with discomfort when swallowing is a simple exercise called the lion pose. For the exercise to help, you must follow the correct technique.

First you need to sit on your knees, place your palms on your thighs and spread your fingers wide apart. Next, stretch your neck, while pressing your chin to your chest.

Then you need to kneel down and pull your tongue down with all your might. You need to remain in this position for 10 seconds, and then return to the starting position.

One cycle of such exercises includes 10-20 approaches, after which you can take a break.

You can do several such cycles during the day, but the more, the better. The criterion for effectiveness is the feeling of warmth that occurs in the root of the tongue after exercise and a real reduction in sore throat. “Lion Pose” promotes a rush of blood to the mucous membrane and increases its circulation. Good blood supply allows you to quickly cope with the disease.

Breathing exercises are suitable for both adults and children. Gymnastics will be very interesting for children, as the exercise can easily be turned into a fun game and distract the child from illness.

10. Inhalations with saline solutions

An inhaler is the simplest physical therapy device that can be purchased for personal use. Its use does not require medical knowledge, you just need to carefully study the instructions.

Sore throat does not require the use of special drugs (bronchodilators, mucolytics, corticosteroids). To reduce discomfort, it is enough just to carry out inhalations with saline solutions (mineral water, saline solution, Aqualor, etc.). The procedure helps to moisturize the oral mucosa, reducing dryness (which is often the cause of pain), and provides distraction.

11. Neck massage

Massaging the neck area is a great addition to other methods for relieving a sore throat. It has no contraindications and you can perform it yourself.

Active stroking, massaging, rubbing the submandibular area on both sides increases blood flow, distracts and relaxes. It is enough to perform a massage 3-4 times a day for 10 minutes.

What to do if medications don't help

If a sore throat is accompanied by high fever (above 38°C), cough, headache, severe enlargement of the submandibular lymph nodes, difficulty breathing and other serious symptoms, you should not self-medicate. You need to seek help from a doctor.
