Being in a happy expectation, the woman begins to prepare for the appearance of the baby in advance. Along with clothes, diapers and toys, in the list of necessary purchases there are also items related to the baby's kit. Among these items, with familiar green and non-polluting greens, hydrogen peroxide, cotton wool, etc. there is also chlorophyllite. What is this tool and why is chlorophyllite needed in the first-aid kit? We will try to understand this article.
Chlorophyllipt: indications for use
Chlorophyllipt is a herbal preparation, based on extracts of chlorophylls obtained from eucalyptus leaves. Chlorophyllipt has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, especially proven in the treatment of diseases caused by staphylococci. For newborns, this drug is especially good because it does not affect the beneficial microflora, destroying only staphylococci, and therefore does not cause dysbiosis.
Chlorophyllipt is used in the treatment of:
- diseases of the upper respiratory tract ( tonsillitis , laryngitis, pharyngitis);
- staphylococcal septic states;
- purulent-inflammatory complications of staphylococcus origin;
- trophic ulcers;
- burns;
- stomatitis (aphthous and ulcerative).
For newborns, chlorophyllipt is most often used as an antiseptic in the treatment of the navel and in the treatment of skin diseases caused by pathogenic staphylococci. Despite all efforts to protect the baby, he can easily catch a staphylococcal cutaneous infection in the maternity hospital and in the children's polyclinic.
Many parents use this medication to help the child's skin to be cleansed when it is prickly. To do this, wadded disk moistened with alcohol solution of chlorophyllipt and rub the affected skin. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times a day. Usually, after the first day of application, there is a noticeable improvement.
It is also possible to use an alcohol and an oil solution of chlorophyllipt to treat neonatal diseases of the ENT organs. With a cold, the oil solution is instilled by 1 drop of the drug into each nostril, and in case of sore throats - it is applied to the glands with a cotton swab. If necessary, the doctor can also prescribe the internal use of chlorophylliptine to the newborn, while it must be diluted in water or in human milk.

Contraindication to the use of chlorophyllipt is an increased sensitivity to the drug. To ensure that the use of this tool does not harm the child, a sample is tested for sensitivity to the drug. To do this, test injection into the oral cavity is made and wait for a reaction for 8-12 hours. If there are signs of allergy (swelling of the lips, mucous membrane of the mouth and nose), do not use the drug.
