What it is

Chest collections are specially formulated and verified in dosages herbal mixtures from which you can prepare a decoction, tincture, herbal tea for the treatment of cough. Medicinal herbs for such compositions can be collected and harvested on their own, but it is much easier and safer to buy ready-made collection in the pharmacy.

To date, there are four chest collection, which differ in composition and properties. They do not have separate names, only serial numbers - “Collection No. 1”, “Collection No. 2” and so on.

Each type of herbal remedy for cough has its clearly indicated indications and contraindications, not all of them are suitable for use for children.

Composition

The composition of the chest collection includes medicinal plants that have a pronounced mucolytic, expectorant properties, antitussive, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. The proportion of one or another vegetable raw materials is carefully verified and balanced, such quantities of phyto-products fall under the medical understanding of the optimal amount for the treatment of cough.

All herbs are harvested and harvested with care., formulations and components are thoroughly tested under laboratory conditions and fully comply with safety standards.

And now we offer to see a video recipe for the preparation of a mixture of cough on the basis of chest collection.

Collection number 1

The first collection is a multicomponent. More than half of the composition is the root of Althea and the mother-and-stepmother familiar from childhood. In small quantities (about 15%) is presented oregano.

This pharmacy phyto mixture, according to many doctors, is very effective in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract (laryngitis, tracheitis, laryngotracheitis, etc.). However, this remedy is not recommended for children under 11-12 years old.

Collection number 2

The second collection also includes three main components. For a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect of "responsible" coltsfoot, her total weight is almost half. About a third of the composition is allocated to the share of licorice root - known expectorant. And also about a third is plantain.

This mixture is an excellent remedy for a strong wet cough.when it is necessary to liquefy and ensure the release of sputum as soon as possible. The second herbal chest composition is used in pneumonia and bronchitis. Manufacturers have also imposed an age limit on consumption - children under 12 years of age are usually not prescribed a fee.

Collection number 3

The third chest collection - a real record for the number of components.It includes not only the roots of Althea and licorice, but sage leaves, which have anti-inflammatory effects, anise seeds and pine buds, which they stop the disease process and generally strengthen the body well.

Regarding this composition, pharmacists were also adamant - and set an age limit on its use - from 12 years.

Collection number 4

This is the "softest" of all fees. It consists of herbs and inflorescences that have a therapeutic effect in a tactful way and with minimal risks, and therefore such a collection is allowed to be given to children from three years of age. In it are camomile flowers and calendula flowers, mint leaves, herbaceous parts of violet, wild rosemary and all the same licorice root.

Thus, it is easy to guess that the means has a tonic, anti-inflammatory effect, gently soothes, normalizes sleep, reduces the intensity of cough and its productivity.

Choice for a child

As you can see, the choice of parents is small, because only one pharmacy staff is officially allowed in children. However, according to the established practice, pediatricians sometimes prescribe other types of herbal formulas to their young patients, but at the same time they carefully adjust the dosage.

When asked how old a child can be treated with breastfeeding, there is no definite answer. It is very individual. It is for this reason that you should not choose the drug yourself. It is better to trust the doctor.

Children up to one year, all four of the composition is contraindicated, as many of these plants can cause severe allergies. Such crumbs are recommended mono-component herbal teas (chamomile or oregano tea).

Children from 5 years in certain cases, the doctor may recommend a third and fourth fees, but only if the specialist is satisfied that the baby does not have a reaction to the components of such treatment.

Instructions for use

For ease of use, all herbal pharmacy fees are packaged not only in boxes of 50 grams. It is possible to purchase them in the form of filter bags, in which the raw materials are more crushed, therefore it is convenient for express brewing. With the preparation of a drink from such packages there will be no problems - it should be brewed like the most ordinary tea (1 packet - 1 cup of water).

With herbs in boxes will have to "work." First, immediately after the purchase, the contents should be poured into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid, so that the herbs do not become damp, dry, spoil and retain all their healing properties.

Secondly, they need to brew properly. All four collections are prepared in approximately the same way:

  • Decoction. 2 tablespoons of phytomass should be brewed with a glass of boiled, pre-cooled to room temperature, water. Then put the glass in a water bath in a small ladle or saucepan and simmer for about a quarter of an hour. The resulting mass is cooled at room temperature, filtered through gauze or a large strainer, topped up with boiled water decoction to make 200 ml. drinking. The finished product is taken on schedule in the amount necessary for the patient's age.

  • Infusion. It can be prepared from herbs in boxes, and from filter bags. 1 tablespoon of raw materials or 1 packet is brewed in half a glass of boiling water and left under the lid until it cools. The resulting drink can be drained (if it was made from bags, this is not required).

How to use

Chest fees when coughing children can be given no more than four times a day. The maximum single dose - half a cup. To drink the finished medicine should be sips, after eating. Young children take a decoction or infusion with a teaspoon. Before use, the brewed set of herbs should be shaken well, so that there is no sediment in it, slightly heat it up, since the herbs will most fully reveal their miraculous properties only if the drink is warm (not hot!). Between receptions should do the same time intervals.

Parents should remember that too much phytopreparation can harm the baby, and therefore it is important to adhere to a certain dosage. Usually it is:

  • From 3 to 6 years old - no more than 5 teaspoons at a time.
  • From 6 to 10 years - no more than 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • From 10 to 12 years - up to 5 tablespoons at a time.
  • From 12 years old - no more than half a glass at a time.

Important Tips

  • Any chest collection is intended to alleviate the condition with a wet cough. From dry and unproductive cough (when there is no sputum), when barking cough, the child should be treated with completely different drugs that suppress the cough reflex.
  • It is strictly forbidden to give the child such a phytopreparation if he is undergoing treatment with antitussive medications at this time. This may make sputum discharge difficult, lead to congestion in the bronchi and become the beginning of a strong and dangerous inflammation.
  • Most often, nursing fees are prescribed as an adjunct in the treatment of various ailments accompanied by coughing. Therefore, it is not worthwhile to rely only on the strength of the herb; no collection will alleviate the condition in case of severe pneumonia or chronic bronchitis, if the child does not receive the basic medical treatment.
  • The first reception of the collection is recommended to appoint in the morning, so that the parents have enough time until the evening to make sure there is no allergic reaction to drinking. If a child has a rash, redness and itching of the skin within 12 hours, the cough has increased, a runny nose appeared, watery eyes, the baby is sluggish and inactive, he has a decrease in appetite and diarrhea (rarely vomiting), should immediately stop taking the breast collection and report about this doctor.
  • The last daily reception of the collection is better to make three hours before bedtime. To the night the child did not torment cough.

Reviews

Moms of children of different ages say that breast gathering works quite effectively and quickly. True, many complain that the child is difficult to get to drink broth or infusion, as it has a bitter taste. For this case, more experienced moms have their own “recipes”: they add a spoonful of jam or honey to the broth.

Mom and dad complain infrequently about allergic children's reactions after taking fees. According to rough estimates, unpleasant consequences occur in one child out of 20-25.
