Directions for use and dosage

The drug is intended for external and local use. Using a cotton swab, the solution is applied to the skin, and to enhance the effect, cover the treated area with a polyethylene film, fixing it with a bandage on top. The exposure time of the compress is from 20 to 180 minutes. In subacute processes, it is recommended to warm the affected area before applying the solution.

Malavit concentrate is diluted with water or, as prescribed by a doctor, used undiluted. The solution is applied to the skin at the site of projection of the inflammation process. The duration of treatment and dose are determined by the doctor.

In otolaryngology, the nasal passages are washed with Malavit solution, used as nasal drops (3-5 times a day) and for gargling. To prepare the solution, add 5-10 drops of concentrate to 100 ml of water. For children under 5 years of age, the dose for instillation into the nose is 1 drop for each year of life.

In dental practice, the drug solution is used for irrigation and rinsing of the oral cavity. To obtain a solution, add 5-10 drops of concentrate to one glass of water.

For catarrhal otitis, Malavit is diluted in the proportion of 5 drops of concentrate per 5 ml of water. The tampon is moistened in the resulting solution and inserted into the ear canal 4 to 6 times a day.

In obstetric and gynecological practice, the prepared solution (10 ml of concentrate per 200 ml of water) is used for douching, vaginal phonophoresis, genital toilet and wetting tampons, which are inserted for 2-5 hours. Treatment duration is 5-10 procedures.

For damage to the skin (wounds, burns, bedsores, frostbite) and closed injuries of the musculoskeletal system, bandages with undiluted Malavit concentrate are prescribed, which are applied for 2-3 hours, 1 to 3 times a day. For fractures, 10-20 ml of the drug is recommended to be administered directly under a splint or plaster 1-2 times a day for 3 days. After removing the plaster, you can use Malavit cream gel.

For herpes, acne and insect bites, the drug is used undiluted. Areas affected by herpes or acne are wiped with the concentrate up to 5 times a day, and a cotton pad pre-moistened with the drug is applied to the bite site (for 10 minutes).

For excessive sweating, Malavit is used as a deodorizing agent. To do this, 10 ml of concentrate with sea salt is diluted in 5 liters of water, after which it is used in the form of baths for sweating of the feet and palms. The armpits are wiped with undiluted concentrate.

Water procedures with the drug Malavit have a positive effect on hair and skin. To do this, 10 ml of concentrate is added to the bath (200 l). In addition, this eliminates the negative effects of chlorine.

Briefly about the main thing:

If you decide to get rid of papillomas, there are 2 ways: The first is to remove papillomas in the clinic, preferably from an oncologist. The advantages of this method are obvious - maximum efficiency and safety. The second method is removal at home using drugs that can be bought in pharmacies. The advantage of this method is its low cost, however, for safe removal, I recommend first consulting with an oncologist. If treatment of papillomas with none of the above methods is effective, it is worth checking your immunity. To do this, it is better to consult an immunologist.

How is papillomas removed?

In our clinic, papillomas are removed using radio wave surgery. Just watch this short video and many questions will disappear by themselves.

The papilloma is fixed with special tweezers, after which a loop-shaped instrument is cut off from the skin at the base. At the moment of contact with the skin, a high-frequency radio wave is concentrated at the end of the instrument, which evaporates papilloma cells and at the same time “glues” blood vessels together. As a rule, anesthesia is not required for this procedure - the pain is comparable to epilation with tweezers. In rare cases, pain relief is performed with EMLA cream.

How to get rid of papillomas?

There are only two main methods of treating papillomas

  1. The simplest and most effective method of treatment is the removal of papillomas using various methods ( laser, radio wave surgery, electrocoagulation
    , etc.). In most cases, a one-time complete removal of papillomas from the entire body is sufficient. I will tell you in more detail about how papillomas are removed using radio wave surgery in our clinic below.
  2. Removing papillomas at home
    has recently become a very popular method . Most often, this happens with the help of two types of drugs - acid solutions with names like “Super Celandine” and a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane (the popular drug “Cryopharma”). I can’t say anything about the effectiveness of these two methods, because... I have never removed papillomas this way.

IMPORTANT!!!!

Please do not diagnose yourself with papilloma based on research on the Internet. Before using the above drugs, you should always see an oncologist and make sure that what you are going to remove at home is really a papilloma. If the diagnosis is made incorrectly and any of these liquids are applied to the pigmented nevus, the consequences can be extremely sad.

3. Symptoms and diagnosis

As a rule, pharyngeal candidiasis occurs with few symptoms or with moderate severity of clinical manifestations. Typical symptoms include inflammation of the tonsils and mucous membranes, a dirty white coating, low-grade fever, mild malaise, discomfort or pain when swallowing.

Granulomatous, atrophic, hyperplastic, erosive-ulcerative forms are relatively less common, requiring differential diagnosis, in particular, with tuberculosis.

Candidiasis of the pharynx is easily chronic and occurs, as a rule, in waves.

The prognosis worsens when the mycotic infection spreads to adjacent and internal organs.

If oropharyngeal candidiasis is suspected, a smear is taken from the affected surface, then a culture is performed on a nutrient medium; Recently, genetic identification (PCR) and serological tests (detection of specific antibodies) have been increasingly used.

2. Reasons

In the clinic of infectious diseases, the main and universal cause, as well as a risk factor, is weakened immunity - no matter what causes the decrease in the body’s natural defenses. However, since the mid-twentieth century, another factor has appeared (and continues to gain strength), which is extremely “convenient” and favorable specifically for fungi. We are talking about antibiotics, which are often used as self-medication, in irrational doses, for too long a course, or in situations where antibacterial drugs are objectively not needed at all.

Suppression or destruction of bacterial microflora, including those that perform protective functions as a symbiont (it should be noted here that broad-spectrum antibiotics are not named this way by chance), disrupts the optimal balance in the microecological system of the human body, and fungi begin to occupy the vacated niche. According to modern estimates, fungal infections of the oral cavity and pharynx account for 40% of all mycoses of the mucous membranes. In the total volume of recorded oropharyngeal fungal invasion, candidiasis accounts for 90-95%. The remaining cases are caused by aspergillus, penicillium and other fungi, as well as their combinations (mixed pharyngomycosis).

The importance of risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, AIDS (every tenth patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome dies from fungal infections), smoking, allergic hypersensitivity, long-term use of hormone-containing anti-inflammatory drugs, oral sex with a carrier of genital candidiasis, as well as intestinal dysbiosis has been reported.

1.General information

In order not to be interrupted by terminological references in the future, we will stipulate the following as a kind of preamble.

Opportunistic is an infection that occurs, literally, “at an opportunity,” “if possible,” i.e. under a certain combination of conditions favorable for the opportunistic microorganism. In turn, conditional pathogenicity implies asymptomatic parasitism or commensalism (harmless coexistence) of any microculture in the host’s body - as long as the host is healthy and immunocompetent - and the ability of this culture to undergo rapid pathogenic activation with a weakening of the immune defense, a significant change in the structure of the microbiome and some other circumstances.

Mycosis is a systemic infection by fungal cultures. Candidiasis is an extremely widespread (in fact, the most common) variant of mycosis, caused by yeast-like opportunistic fungi of the numerous genus Candida, most often Candida ablicans (the causative agent, in particular, of urogenital “thrush”).

Thus, pharyngeal candidiasis is an opportunistic mycosis caused by the activation of Candida and predominantly localized in one of the ENT organs.
