Abstract

Acute respiratory viral infections take leading positions among diseases of the pediatric age. In the majority of cases they are accompanied by fever, catarrhal manifestations, nasal discharge, coughing. The major method to treat them is supportive symptomatic therapy, which is sufficient to relieve symptoms of the disease. But children with long-term persistent symptoms, development of post-viral or bacterial rhinosinusites require prescription of active and at the same time safe drugs contributing to relief of edema of the mucous tunic of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, reduction of the mucus viscosity and simplifying its evacuation. Use of intranasal glucocorticosteroids, on the one hand, is limited by the age 12 years, and on the other hand, not all the parents agree to the prescription of these drugs in spite of the proved effectiveness and safety. Phytotherapy that today can compete with other products active against acute and chronic rhinosinusites and is recommended for application by international approvals gains greater popularity.
