Pinosol is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug with local use for otolaryngological diseases. It also has regenerating properties, due to which it is used after operations on the ENT organs to accelerate the growth of granulations (healing - accelerates the growth of connective tissue at the site of the wound surface).

Pinosol, due to the presence of essential oils such as eucalyptus and pine in its composition, exhibits an antiseptic effect (kills microbes), improves blood flow in the vessels of the nasal passages, thereby affecting inflammation and swelling, relieves, reduces the amount of mucous secretions, thinning them, thereby facilitates breathing and thereby improves the patient's condition.Enhances the effect of guaiazulene, a component of eucalyptus oil. Peppermint oil has a cooling effect, slightly “freezing” the area on which it acts, which is important in cases where a person experiences pain in the nose and nasopharynx.

When removing them, you must strictly ensure that the child breathes through his mouth to avoid inhaling the tampon.

Reviews

Natasha, 25 years old.
I work in the fresh air, and sometimes my throat starts to feel sore and there’s something grating in my nose. So, just in case, I always keep pinosol in my medicine cabinet. After all, if you drop a little more of it, it will also lubricate your throat. It helps me a lot. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to get sick. But I take a drop of pinosol and manage to keep the disease at bay. I don’t like various lozenges for the throat, they don’t help me, and I don’t like sweets. Therefore, such drops are just for me. I find the most convenient form of drops. Since you need to get your hands dirty with the ointment or look for some kind of stick to lubricate your nose. Spray is more expensive. I don't like this either.

Karina, 30 years old.
I often give these drops to my son. He is five years old and he always picks up some kind of nasty thing in kindergarten. I like that the medicine is oil-based, which means it lubricates the mucous membrane and does not dry out, like those drops that pierce the nose. I also like the smell, you can put some drops in and then for half a day everything around you smells like a Christmas tree. Very nice. My son also likes the smell, like his favorite chewing gum. In addition, the price is attractive. I can’t afford to buy some very expensive medications, especially since I get sick quite often. Therefore, pinosol is just right for our family.

Olesya, 16 years old.
My mother once bought me such drops. She is addicted to all kinds of folk and herbal medicines, so she fell for this pinosol. I just hate mint. When this mint got into my nose, I thought I was going to throw up inside out. It was so disgusting, just creepy. Then my mother saw that her medicine was not successful, and came up with a new method of use: she gave me inhalations with pinosol. This is another matter. Although, this mint also gets into your mouth, but the concentration is not the same and not so disgusting. Honestly, the drops helped me. Although they taste disgusting.

Irina, 31 years old.
I want to warn all mothers of small children against these drops. They are actually very good, I always use them myself. But they can be dangerous for children. In the old instructions, the contraindication was the age of up to 1.5 years, and when my child turned one and a half years old, I began to give him Pinosol with pleasure. I always have it in my house for myself. And the child began to have bronchospasm. Dry cough, especially at night during sleep. I went to the doctor and they told me it was bronchospasm. Many people encounter this, but do not know what kind of cough it is. After all, not everyone is lucky to have good doctors. Then I read it on the Internet, talked to my doctor, and they told me that it’s better not to experiment until I’m five years old. Before this incident, my child had no allergies at all. But pinosol had this effect.

Ekaterina, 23 years old.
Not happy with pinosol. I bought it for the first time during pregnancy, the pharmacist recommended it at the pharmacy. He said that it would not cause any harm, it contained only herbs and you could safely drip as much as you wanted. I didn't notice any results right away. Gradually I felt better, and after four days the runny nose almost disappeared, my breathing returned to normal. Only this smell and the oil constantly flowing from the nose - it was too much. Of course, I will not buy this medicine again, because for me personally there are more disadvantages than advantages. You can also treat with other drops. Especially when you are no longer pregnant.
