Causes of the disease
In the vast majority of cases, problems with the mammary gland do not arise on their own, but as a result of not entirely properly organized breastfeeding.
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is an international organization whose main goal is to create basic clinical recommendations to solve the most common problems that threaten breastfeeding. Thus, in March 2014, an updated protocol for the management of lactation mastitis was released.
The document lists factors that increase the risk of lactostasis as a trigger for the disease:
- rare feedings, including “clockwise”, as well as skipping them;
- improper latching on the breast by the baby and/or his inability to suck milk effectively;
- hyperlactation;
- blockage of the milk ducts, including in the area of the outlet on the nipple (calcifications, casein masses), or “overgrowth” of the latter, which may be accompanied by local inflammation;
- compression of the mammary glands (for example, by a tight bra);
- abrupt weaning;
- stress and fatigue of the mother, her illness, as well as the illness of the child;
Therapeutic effect of the solution for ENT diseases
According to the instructions for use, Malavit is used to treat inflamed mucous membranes of the throat and mouth.
Main indications:
- tonsillitis;
- pharyngitis;
- nasopharyngitis;
- laryngitis;
- angina;
- candidiasis.
The drug is active against a wide range of bacteria. Providing a bactericidal effect, the solution reduces intoxication, relieves local inflammation, and reduces swelling.
After gargling with Malavit, the condition of the mucous membrane improves, severe redness disappears, and the epithelium becomes pink.
The medicine eliminates pain symptoms and facilitates the process of eating. Symptoms such as a sore throat during a conversation, irritation of the pharynx and larynx leading to lacrimation, and hoarseness are relieved.
Since the solution has disinfectant and antiseptic properties, it effectively cleanses the epithelium of pathological plaque, serous mucus, pus, and films. Therefore, Malavit is often prescribed for different types of angina - catarrhal, follicular, lacunar, herpetic, necrotic.
If you suspect a sore throat, you should not use the drug yourself. The solution is prescribed only after an accurately established diagnosis. It is important to exclude diphtheria sore throat, in which gargling with Malavit is strictly prohibited. The herbal medicine can cause negative effects and complications ─ severe intoxication, damage to the membranes or brain cells.
As part of complex therapy, the solution enhances the pharmacological effect of basic medications taken orally or parenterally. It is not recommended to carry out the rinsing procedure and use other local antiseptic drugs at the same time.
Indications for use
Thanks to its extensive composition, Malavit can be used in the treatment of various diseases. It may be prescribed in the following cases:
- Diseases of the oral cavity caused by pathogenic microflora (otitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis).
- As an adjuvant in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by ulcerative lesions of the tonsils and mucous surfaces.
"Malavit" is recommended for use for sore throat in both children and adults. As a result, pain, inflammation and irritation of the throat are reduced.
Malavit gargling drops can be used in the treatment of not only tonsillitis. The drug is prescribed to reduce the symptoms of a runny nose. To do this, they are dissolved in boiled water, according to the instructions, and the paranasal sinuses are washed.
Opinions about the drug
According to reviews, people often use Malavit for gargling when the first symptoms of the disease occur. It quickly relieves sore throat and reduces inflammation of the tonsils.
Patients consider the main advantages to be its natural composition, economical consumption and effectiveness. Many people use Malavit as a prophylactic in the autumn-winter period.
The disadvantages of people who have used the drug include its specific smell and the occurrence of individual intolerance to its components.
Treatment of angina is a long process, so all medications that can speed it up are welcome. "Malavit", despite its effectiveness, should be used only as prescribed by a specialist.
"Malavit" during pregnancy
During the period of pregnancy, specialists are wary of prescribing medications that can negatively affect the fetus. “Malavit” for gargling during pregnancy cannot be called a completely safe remedy, due to the possible occurrence of individual intolerance to its components. In the absence of such a reaction, it is allowed to be used under medical supervision.
Due to the fact that it is not administered orally, the release of the drug into the bloodstream during the treatment period is minimal.
For pregnant women, it is important to follow the dosage. You can gargle 3-4 times a day, adding 5-7 drops of Malavita to a 100 ml solution.
How can you replace Malavit?

- "Furacilin".
- Hexoral solution.
- "Miramistin".
- "Chlorhexidine" or "Chlorophyllipt".
If side effects occur on the components of Malavita for gargling, only a doctor can prescribe a drug that will effectively replace this drug. In this case, you should not self-medicate.
