If the child has not learned to rinse, then it is necessary that he hold the solution in his mouth for about 30 seconds and spit it out. For such a procedure, 10-15 ml of the drug will be required.
How to do douching
It is especially effective to use Miramistin for the treatment of thrush in women in the form of douching. Thus, it will be possible to direct the therapeutic effect on the elimination of the fungi that caused the pathology. The duration of treatment is up to 7 days. There is a special nozzle on the medicine vial with which you can carry out a similar procedure.
Before using the contents of the bottle, it is necessary to bring the nozzle into working condition according to the instructions.
For the procedure, a woman must lie on her back and bend her knees. Using a gynecological nozzle, the contents of the vial are injected into the vagina. The solution is likely to leak, so it is better to stock up on the gasket.
In the event that Miramistin purchased at a pharmacy does not contain a special tube, you can use a regular syringe for the procedure.
Important! Before douching, all items that will be involved in the healing process must be thoroughly washed and rinsed with boiling water. The genitals should also be rinsed.
