Lollipops with honey and lemon contain citric acid and honey, and lollipops with menthol and eucalyptus contain leaf-eucalyptus leaf oil.
Herbal supplements as part of Strepsils products are proven medicinal plants that are used in traditional medicine, modern pharmaceuticals and are good for pain, redness in the throat, dry irritated cough, dryness and burning sensation in the throat.
For example, eucalyptus is very much appreciated due to the high content of essential oils, which give the plant expectorant, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. Eucalyptus also contains a natural antiseptic - cineol. Interestingly, rod-shaped eucalyptus grows only in southern Australia and on the island of Tasmania.
Another plant component of Strepsils Children - peppermint, on the contrary, grows almost everywhere in Russia, but is grown on an industrial scale in the Krasnodar Territory and Voronezh Region. Peppermint essential oil, which is contained in the leaves of the plant, has a calming, antiseptic and coughing effect.
And, of course, from ancient times the healing properties of honey have been known. Russian mothers with cough and severe sore throat give children milk or tea with honey, which softens and soothes the mucous membranes, stops coughing, and reduces pain.
Thus, in Strepsils products, substances developed by pharmacologists are supplemented with drugs known by traditional recipes. Their effectiveness and safety do not need confirmation.

Side effects

Since candies and spray contain herbal ingredients, allergies are possible. If a child has nausea, vomiting or a skin rash, then you need to stop taking the medicine, call a doctor and make sure that the reaction is caused precisely by Strepsils.

Instructions for use

Lozenges and lozenges do not need to be swallowed. Before giving the child a lollipop, teach him to dissolve, rather than chew or swallow a lozenge. In this case, the active substances will fall on the mucous membrane of the throat and ease the condition of the child. If swallowed, the effect will not be achieved.
Usually children are given one candy every two to three hours. Make sure that the daily dose does not exceed 8 candies. The lozenges taste good and the child can eat them like sweets. To prevent this, remove the packing of the candy out of the reach of the child.

Reviews

Of course, the most indicative are always the reviews of doctors and parents about a particular drug. For example, a well-known pediatrician, Yevgeny Komarovsky, recommends rinsing with medicinal plants for sore throats, but alternating them with taking medications that alleviate the condition of the child. The doctor recommends both sprays and tablets, including Strepsils products.
Parents also confirm the effectiveness of Strepsils Children candies. On one of the specialized sites, my mother said that treatment with candies did not allow the onset of purulent tonsillitis in a child of 5 years. Within 3 days, the baby absorbed 3-4 candies with an interval of about 3 hours. As a result, purulent plaque disappeared, swelling of the throat mucosa subsided, the child began to swallow calmly not only drink, but also solid food.
Another mother notes that her child liked the delicious lollipops, he accepted them with pleasure, including before bedtime. The drug not only relieved pain, but also facilitated breathing, the baby slept calmly all night and quickly recovered. It is important that one pack of 16 pieces is enough for a full course of treatment.
