Good morning, I have a question whether it is possible to replace the drug oscillococilum with the drug L 52 when a cough begins to appear? Is it possible to combine the drug in areosol for the nose Euphorium with Sinuspax with a completely clogged nose. Thank you in advance for your reply. Yours sincerely Dorota Kmita (child is 8 years old)

Lehning L52 and Boiron Oscillococcinum preparations, although they differ significantly in composition, have very similar indications, i.e. as an adjunct in the treatment of colds and flu. L52 drops have an anti-inflammatory component, so at the beginning of coughing, they can be used as much as possible. It is worth paying attention to the type of cough that occurs in the child. Usually, at the beginning of a cold, it is a dry, unproductive cough, which over time becomes a wet cough, with expectoration of secretions. A more detailed description of the listed types of cough along with the methods of their treatment can be found in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/kaszel-suchy-i-mokry-jak-go-leczyc. Euphorbium aerosol can be combined with Lehning Sinuspax. I draw your attention to the possibility of using inhalation, preferably from a hypertonic saline solution (an example of such a preparation can be Nebutac, the availability of which can be checked at this link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/95439/nebutac-3-plyn/apteki). In addition, discharge flowing down the back wall of the throat can irritate the throat, leading to the occurrence of coughing. It is therefore important to take care of moisturizing the mucous membrane of the throat with preparations containing marshmallow or Icelandic lichen. For my part, I can pay attention to preparations containing geraniums. This plant is characterized by antibacterial or antiviral activity, effectively supports the process of treating respiratory diseases and often prevents the need for an antibiotic. Examples of preparations, along with the possibility of checking their availability or booking them in a specific pharmacy, can be found in this link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/wyszukiwanie?q=pelargonia.
