Precautionary measures
Dioxidin can cure all forms of bacterial rhinitis and otitis in children. In fact, this is a universal medicine that can be used only in extreme cases when other drugs are powerless.
Since a synthetic antibiotic can cause side effects, a test must be carried out before using it. The child is instilled with 1 drop of the drug into the nose or ear and his condition is monitored for 3-6 hours. If the medicine is well tolerated, treatment can be continued.
Some parents prefer not to drip children's Dioxidin onto the mucous membranes of the nose when they have a runny nose, but rather treat them with a cotton swab soaked in the medicine. However, this should never be done, since it can damage the villi and mucous membranes of the nasal cavity. Also, you should not rinse your nose with Dioxidin solution, as this can cause an overdose. The medicine can enter the Eustachian tube or gastrointestinal tract through the nasal passages.
The antibiotic is very toxic, so it is important to strictly observe its storage conditions. The medicine should be kept out of the reach of children. The opened ampoule should be stored in the dark and cold. If the expiration date has expired, the medication must be disposed of.

Is it possible to give Dioxidin to children?
The instructions for the drug say that it should not be given to persons under 18 years of age. This is due to the fact that the active component can have a toxic effect on an incompletely formed organism.
But there are still exceptions when a pediatrician can prescribe Dioxidin to a child. In this case, the expected benefit should be many times higher than the possible threat. When prescribed to children, constant medical supervision is required.

Can I put it in my nose?
Dioxidine is used in the nose of a child from the age of 18. The official instructions for use of the substance hydroxymethylquinoxaline dioxide clearly inform children about the age of using the drug in the nose. Soviet pediatrics used Dioxidin in children's noses and ears. Over time, evidence has accumulated on the negative consequences of local antiseptic treatment:
- allergies – redness, itching, peeling;
- thinning and degeneration of the mucosa;
- increased photosensitivity to the sun;
- convulsive muscle contraction;
- headache.
The reason for prescribing Dioxidin nasal drops for children is a persistent infection (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, streptococci, staphylococci and other microorganisms), which cannot be overcome with other antimicrobial drugs.
According to instructions for use

- purulent inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses;
- diffuse or limited purulent lesions of the nasal mucosa and nasal septum;
- chronic inflammation of the tonsils;
- purulent process of the pharynx and trachea;
- external otitis while maintaining the integrity of the eardrum;
- after surgical interventions on the upper respiratory tract and ears to prevent postoperative infection.
