Prompt! How is chlorhexidine douche? It should be planted ??
Administrators

Dasha, Douching Chlorhexidine should be performed after the appointment of a doctor, it is not necessary to do this by yourself (especially on the advice of girlfriends, etc.), as frequent use can lead to a violation of the vaginal microflora and the development of the same candidiasis (thrush).

For douching, a solution at a dosage of 0.05% is usually used. It is not necessary to divorce it, since it has already been diluted to the necessary concentration. As I know the procedure is better to conduct in the bath, it is most suitable in the form adopted by the body. You can use a syringe or the bottle itself with a solution of Chlorhexidine, since it already has a long spout for syringing.It is necessary to enter inside 5-10 ml of the solution (the rest is usually poured, so more solution is visually introduced) and lie down for 2-3 minutes. After the procedure, you do not need to dabble. And if you notice any unusual changes (discharge, bleeding), then this is an occasion to once again turn to the doctor who prescribes this drug to you for treatment correction.

Chlorhexidine used to rinse out its chronic tonsillitis, as the antiseptic drug was immediately palpable, the pains decreased a little and the inflammatory process seemed to move, but the itching appeared, not immediately, but on the third day. Naturally, the drug had to be canceled, apparently affected by the individual intolerance of some component.

I used to rinse it with chlorhexidine, when the gums bleed, but then the dentist told me that it's impossible to rinse constantly, it spoils the microflora in the mouth, and some sores can develop even more. Without chlorhexidine it is still better in this case, I was prescribed a rinse with a periodontitis, therefore, there it is not included.

Is it possible to wipe the face from acne?
Administrators
admin
Tatyana, Your question is quite popular and many are wondering whether it is possible to wipe the face with chlorhexidine to get rid of acne or acne.

As a means for mass application to the entire surface of the skin of a person, it is most likely not suitable, since a massive antibacterial action is capable of killing all microflora and not only pathogenic, in the end it can become even worse. After cleansing the face, it is recommended, but short courses and on the recommendation of a medical cosmetologist. Plus, if you apply globexidine globally, you can greatly dry the skin (it dries the skin), will begin peeling, which is important especially for adolescents and women.

If you locally lubricate the pimple, then such an application is possible, although not everyone helps and if there is no dynamics, then it is necessary to raise the question of the appropriateness of using this drug. If acne rashes large areas, then you need to contact the doctor, he will prescribe special dermatological drugs that will be more effective in combating acne.

Sometimes I met the instructions that you can lubricate the eels with Chlorhexidine before squeezing them out. And so to press pimples, especially on the face it is impossible. Infect the infection, then it will only get worse. At home, you can not keep aseptic and bacteria in the environment, on your hands still present.

Can I use this drug to treat the skin between my toes and against the nail fungus?
Administrators

GalinaFor the treatment of nail fungus and foot skin, there is a large number of specially designed drugs for this. You can search the site and find them. Why experiment with rumors and speculation. A dermatologist can appoint you competent treatment. With inefficient use of Chlorhexidine on the skin, you can get dry at best or dermatitis at worst. I think you do not need it.

Administrators

Tatyana, The doctor diagnosed angina, with your words in a baby angina and one rinse here does not get rid of. It is necessary to prescribe antibiotics, since it is long to treat angina with a rinse - it is to walk on the blade of a knife, it can be lucky, and maybe it does not, and is fraught with purulent complications.And rinse your throat with chlorhexidine just - you take undiluted solution in your mouth and rinse it, it's easy, but for angina, again, there will be little of it.
Guests
Tatyana
Thank you very much for your response. We also prescribed an antibiotic, Amoxicillin, and RiniKold. I have another question: is there a difference, for gargling, how much is the percentage chlorhexidine? I have chlorhexidine bigluconate 0.05%, is it okay? And more, what is better with angina, chlorhexidine or miramistin?
Administrators
admin
Tatyana, The baby is better than 0.05% and rinsed undiluted. If you already have Chlorhexidine, then rinse them. To whom, someone faster helps Chlorhexidine, someone Miramistin. In any case, with angina, the basic remedy is an antibiotic (and it is prescribed for your child) and it should be taken strictly by the hour, the rest is concomitant therapy that speeds up the recovery process.

Administrators

NADEZHDA YAKOVLEVNA, Outer specially designed for this solution of the drug Chlorhexidine can be used for a long time. For example, surgeons hand their hands before (and maybe even now they are processing, I do not follow the question), but they have operations every day. He only dries the skin, so look at the skin condition.And still it is better to see a doctor with your problem, a taste and smell distortion happens in case of serious diseases, for example oncology or brain diseases.

svademMost likely this is not a stomatitis. For this disease, characteristic small spots and sores, and not large, as you pointed out. In addition, within a week or two of rinses (it is better to use broths of chamomile, calendula or eucalyptus, not Chlorhexidine) and lubrication of stomatitis should pass. Better call the doctor at the house (if the mother is lying down), let him see what's grown in his mouth. Without a visual inspection, a specialist can not really say anything.

Is it true that with a solution of Chlorohexidine, you can rinse the inflamed gums? What does it affect? For a long time, I once said something like a dentist.
Administrators
admin
bol`noi, True. Chlorhexidine solution can be used for inflammation of the gums, if the cause of such inflammation is the activity of the infectious agent (bacteria). It should not be used for a long time, and in the absence of positive dynamics within 3-4 days to change the treatment schedule, so as not to burn the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.

They advised him as a means for processing and disinfecting the mesoroner. Can you tell if it can be used as a disinfectant?
Administrators
admin
Progir, No idea what a mesoroller is. Probably something from cosmetology.If this unit breaks the integrity of the skin, then it is necessary to process it, as well as the medical instruments used in operations. In principle, the use of Chlorhexidine is acceptable in this case, simply soak the device in a concentrated solution of the drug for a couple of hours. If the integrity of the skin is not disturbed, special treatment is not required, provided that the device is individual.

Mila LysenkoMost likely, by the description of the question, in your problems the drug Chlorhexidine is not to blame. Skipping rope - I do not know if you need anamnesis or diagnoses. I recommend to consult a gynecologist for advice and solutions to the problems that have arisen.

Similar preparations, as I have noticed, are still in the arsenal of elderly doctors. Not so long ago, I caught cold, developed cystitis, so as not to tolerate these rezi, ran to a paid clinic.The young urologist prescribed me a powder for mono-ration, divorced, drank and forgot about cystitis. But with colpitis went to your favorite LCD, where the elderly auntie prescribed me candles with chlorhexidine, candles with indomethacin, baths with potassium permanganate and other grandmother's methods ... The diseases are similar, and the treatment is radically different.
