Argolife with adenoids

Adenoids are a pathological enlargement of the nasopharyngeal tonsil, which leads to impaired nasal breathing, hearing impairment, and frequent illnesses. Adenoids are a child's diagnosis, although about 1% of the adult population also faces this pathology. The proliferation of tonsil tissue can be successfully treated with conservative methods, but only if the pathology has not reached grade 3. In this case, surgery will be required. In order not to bring yourself to the surgeon's table, it is necessary to treat adenoids in a timely manner and correctly.

Argolife is an antiseptic drug that is a cluster of colloidal silver. The term “clusters” in this case means atoms, ions and molecules of silver located nearby and connected to each other. Cluster silver is a type of colloidal silver, but its particles are smaller. This makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of the drug, which, unlike its counterparts, has a much longer shelf life (Protargol, Collargol, etc.). If solutions based on colloidal silver are stored for no more than a month, then Argolife has a shelf life of one year.

Argolife is a preparation based on colloidal silver clusters. The product is environmentally friendly, natural, and therefore safe for the human body.

Silver is unable to accumulate in the cells of the human body. Once ingested, it is excreted naturally through the kidneys and organs of the digestive system. Already after 1-2 weeks from the end of treatment, the body will be completely cleansed of metal.

The drug is produced in the form of a 0.05% solution of colloidal silver. The bottle has a dosage of 10 ml.

Effects of using Argolife

Argolife is successfully used as an antiseptic agent capable of destroying pathogenic microorganisms. They are the main reason for the development of adenoids. Getting on the nasal mucosa, microbes reach the tonsils and begin to multiply there. Sometimes even the strongest antiseptics and antibiotics cannot cope with them, since bacteria develop resistance to them.

Pathogenic microorganisms are absolutely powerless against silver ions. Therefore, the drug Argolife is one of the most popular drugs in the treatment of adenoids. The destruction of microbes leads to a gradual decrease in inflammation, the removal of swelling from the tissues of the tonsils, and the normalization of nasal breathing. Argolife cannot but have an effect, as it destroys more than 500 species of bacteria, viruses and fungal microorganisms. Argolife helps even where antibiotics are powerless.

Silver ions are recognized as the most effective bactericides of all metals. Silver has been proven to be 5 times stronger than chlorine. The administered concentrations of the drug are detrimental to pathogenic microorganisms, but they are harmless to humans.

Argolife is used to treat adenoids, ARVI, upper respiratory tract infections. In addition, it can be used as a topical skin treatment.

So, the drug Argolaif has the following therapeutic effects:

• Disinfecting effect: destruction of viruses, bacteria and fungi.
• Removal of the inflammatory reaction from the nasopharyngeal tonsil.
• Drying of the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and nasal passages.
• Relief of nasal breathing, getting rid of sleep apnea. This effect is observed within a few days from the start of using the drug.
• Improvement of metabolic processes in the treated tissues.
• Increased local immunity.

How to use Argolife for adenoids?

For the treatment of adenoids, the nasopharynx is sanitized with Argolife solution. To do this, the drug must first be diluted with boiled water or a weak soda solution. Saline is also used for this purpose.

• Rinsing the nose. For a glass of water in 250 ml, take 2-4 teaspoons of the drug in its pure form. Then the nasal passages are washed with the prepared solution. For convenience, you can use a pipette or a spray bottle. The procedure is performed 2-3 times a day.
• Statement of turunda. You can also apply the drug Argolaif to turundas, which are inserted into the nasal passages. It is necessary to withstand them for half an hour. The procedure is performed once a day.
• Burying. You can bury Argolife in the nose in pure form, or dilute it in water in a 1: 1 ratio. 1-2 drops of the drug are injected into the nasal passages 3 times a day. This helps to eliminate rhinitis, disinfect the nasopharynx, dry inflamed mucous membranes. The duration of treatment is 7 days, but if necessary, this period can be extended to a month.

Contraindications for use

You should not use the drug Argolaif if the patient has an individual intolerance to silver.

Also, doctors recommend refusing to use drops during pregnancy and carrying a child. If there is an urgent need to use this particular remedy, then before starting treatment, you need to discuss all the details with your doctor.

Potential harm

The drug does not cause side effects. It is possible to develop an allergic reaction only if the patient has an individual intolerance to the drug.

What to look for during treatment

If the drug Argolaif is supposed to treat a child of early or younger preschool age, then first you should dilute the drops in a ratio of 1: 3. That is, take one part of the drug and three parts of saline, or water. The next day, the proportion is reduced (1: 2). Thus, they are treated for three days. Then, for another three days, the drug is instilled in a 1: 1 ratio. If the child does not experience discomfort, then you can try to introduce drops in a pure form. Provided that they severely dry out the nasal cavity, it is recommended to return to the 1: 1 ratio. It should be taken into account that with a strong dilution of the drug with water, its medicinal properties may decrease.

During the administration of the drug, you must lie on a flat surface with your chin up. Thus, it will be possible to deliver the drug exactly to the inflamed tissue of the tonsils.

Fears that dysbiosis may develop against the background of the use of the drug Argolife, as a powerful antiseptic and antibiotic, is in vain. Silver in the form of cluster compounds does not provoke disturbances in intestinal microbiocenosis. Moreover, it even contributes to the normalization of the intestinal flora. The suppression of pathogenic bacteria naturally provides the basis for the growth of a colony of beneficial microorganisms. This statement is true for taking the drug orally in large quantities.

When using the drug Argolaif for the treatment of adenoids, silver reaches the intestines in negligible concentrations, therefore, in general, it does not affect its work.

During treatment, you will not need to make any changes to your daily routine. The drug does not affect mental or physical performance.

Cases of drug overdose are not known to date. The drug after opening the package does not require any special storage conditions. It is only important that the ambient temperature does not exceed +25 ° C.

Argolife can be used in combination with other drugs, as it does not interact with them. However, before starting treatment, you need to get medical advice.

One may come across the opinion that silver preparations are toxic to the human body. In fact, the maximum daily intake of silver for an adult is 100 mg. The amount of silver in one bottle of Argolife is several times less. Theoretically, a person who has drunk 2-3 bottles of the drug will not exceed the specified rate. The recommended dosages of cluster silver for instillation into the nasal passages have been reduced hundreds of times, so they are 100% harmless.

A deterioration in well-being can be observed when the patient does have an individual sensitivity to silver. In addition, when the tissues of the nasopharyngeal tonsil are abundantly populated by microbes, their mass death will be observed under the influence of metal ions. The process of destroying microbes is accompanied by the release of toxins, which can lead to a temporary deterioration in health. Therefore, while undergoing treatment, it is recommended to drink as much water as possible, it is also possible to take enterosorbents. If after a day the condition does not return to normal, you should stop using the drug and consult a doctor.
