Tonsillitis — an inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by the increase of lymphoid tissue that surrounds the entrance to the throat. There are several tonsils — angina, they are usually covered with bloom, and in their cavities accumulate pus. All of this is a favorable environment for pathogenic germs which multiply with incredible speed.

The action of hydrogen peroxide angina
Hydrogen peroxide is known since ancient times and used in medicine, particularly in the treatment of angina, due to its properties:
- disinfectant;
- antiseptic;
- antimicrobial (weak).
When tonsillitis on the tonsils appear whitish bloom, and the gaps (recesses) formed and collected the pus. Under the pus and raids actively proliferate pathogenic bacteria. The mucous membrane of the tonsils it is damaged. Upon contact of hydrogen peroxide with damaged tissues is the oxidation reaction and releases a large amount of active free oxygen. The result is:
- mechanical damage to microbial cells;
- the expulsion of pus from cavities in the tonsils and its decontamination, which deprives microorganisms of a nutrient medium for reproduction and reduces the amount of toxic substances;
- cleaning the surface of the tonsils of plaque.
Peroxide can not be called a sterilizing solution, it is only valid at the time of application and provides simultaneously mechanical removal of pathological formations. This, in addition to the impact on microorganisms, depriving them of the nutrient medium for reproduction, thereby alleviating the symptoms and promoting quicker recovery.
Reaction to release of active oxygen occurs only upon contact of the peroxide with the damaged cells, blood, and pus. In this case, the surface of the tonsils there is a plentiful foam. In contact with the solution for a healthy mucosa no reaction will occur.
Application rules
In the treatment of angina peroxide can be used:
1. To rinse. Only used 3% hydrogen peroxide or gidroperit in the form of tablets. To prepare solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach diluted in 150 ml of warm water or dissolve 1 tablet peroxide in a glass of water. To make the rinse can be no more than three hours. After each procedure, be sure to rinse the throat and mouth with chamomile, sage or regular warm water to remove residue plaque, pus and hydrogen peroxide.
2. To lubricate inflamed throat and tonsils. Take a cotton swab, moistened with 3% peroxide and quickly lubricate the tonsils. The root of the tongue you need a good squeeze with a spatula or back of a spoon. After the procedure, be sure to rinse your mouth. This method unacceptable in people with increased gag reflex.

Side effects. Perhaps only the burning sensation in the treated mucous. The burning sensation passes quickly that do not require discontinuation of the drug, just next time need to make a less concentrated solution.
Precautions:

2. Strictly observe the rules of breeding of the solution for rinsing.
3. Do not use rinse or lubricate the throat more than 5 times a day.
4. Avoid swallowing the hydrogen peroxide solution, when injected into the stomach and intestines can cause diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, General malaise. But these phenomena are temporary, are very fast.
Thus,
hydrogen peroxide — effective, time-tested and inexpensive means for the treatment of angina. A solution of peroxide or peroxide tablets can be easily find in any drugstore. Despite all the nuances with the proper and correct its application of a speedy relief of symptoms and the recovery was not long in coming. But remember that with self to do, still not worth it, because in advanced cases of sore throat with complications use only hydrogen peroxide is not enough, so an appeal to the doctor necessarily. published
