Mga Home Remedy para sa Ubo

Ang pinakasimple at pinakamura na payo ay ang paggamit ng pulot at lemon bilang home remedy para sa ubo. 1

Pangunahing Inirerekomendang Home Remedies

Pulot (Honey)

  • Ang pulot ay nag-aalok ng mas malaking ginhawa para sa sintomas ng ubo kumpara sa walang treatment, diphenhydramine, o placebo 2
  • Ang pulot ay madalas gamitin ng mga pasyente at itinuturing na epektibo (77-94% ng mga gumagamit ay nagsasabing epektibo) 3
  • Ang pulot ay may kaunting side effects at ligtas gamitin 4

Lemon

  • Ang kombinasyon ng pulot at lemon ay tradisyonal na ginagamit at inirerekomenda ng mga guidelines bilang simpleng solusyon 1
  • Madalas itong ginagamit ng mga pasyente at itinuturing na epektibo 3, 4

Thyme (Oregano/Damong-maria)

  • Ang thyme ay isa sa pinaka-madalas gamitin at itinuturing na epektibo ng mga pasyente (94% para sa thyme inhalations) 3
  • Ang thyme ay may kaunting side effects 4

Herbal Teas

  • Ang herbal teas ay madalas gamitin at itinuturing na epektibo ng mga pasyente 3
  • Ang mga simpleng inumin at linctuses ay maaaring gumana sa pamamagitan ng central modulation ng cough reflex 1

Mga Dapat Iwasan

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Cough Medications

  • Ang OTC cough medications ay may kaunti o walang benepisyo sa pagkontrol ng sintomas ng acute cough sa mga bata 2
  • Ang mga preparasyon na naglalaman ng antihistamine at dextromethorphan ay nauugnay sa adverse events 2
  • Huwag gumamit ng codeine-containing medications dahil sa potensyal na seryosong side effects kabilang ang respiratory distress 2

Antihistamines

  • Ang mga bagong generation nonsedating antihistamines ay hindi epektibo para sa pagbawas ng ubo at hindi dapat gamitin 5
  • Ang efficacy ng antihistamines sa pagpapaginhawa ng ubo sa mga bata ay minimal 2

Mahahalagang Babala

Para sa mga Bata

  • Huwag gumamit ng OTC cough and cold medicines sa mga batang wala pang 4 taong gulang 2
  • Ang pulot ay hindi dapat ibigay sa mga sanggol na wala pang 1 taon dahil sa panganib ng botulism (general medical knowledge)

Kailan Dapat Magpakonsulta sa Doktor

  • Kung ang ubo ay may kasamang paghihirap sa paghinga 1
  • Kung may lagnat, pagkakasakit, purulent sputum, o kasaysayan ng kamakailang impeksyon 1
  • Kung ang ubo ay tumatagal ng higit sa 2-3 linggo 2

Mekanismo ng Aksyon

Ang mga simpleng home remedies ay gumagana sa pamamagitan ng:

  • Central modulation ng cough reflex - ang simpleng voluntary suppression ng ubo ay maaaring sapat na upang mabawasan ang dalas ng pag-ubo 1
  • Pagbalot sa oral at throat mucosa - ang mucilage o secretions ay tumatakip sa mucosa, pinapaginhawa ang irritation at nababawasan ang dry, nakakapagod na ubo 6
