Instructions for Tantum Verde for children
In pediatric practice, the spray can be used for children from 3 years of age. Tantum Verde spray for children is used every 90-180 minutes for 1-4 doses, depending on the age category.
Scheme for children under one year: spray the spray onto the pacifier and give to the child. Direct treatment of the throat is not allowed. The reviews are positive.
Use of Tantum Verde for newborns
The pediatrician prescribes the spray based on the condition of each individual baby. The basic principle of treating an illness is “Do no harm!” Parents are not recommended to practice self-medication or prescribe medications for their child, no matter how old he is. Before prescribing the spray, the doctor will necessarily collect the entire medical history, clarify whether the child has allergic reactions and how serious treatment the throat condition requires. Only after all the manipulations will he make the necessary diagnosis. Therefore, if you decide to take Tantum Verde for a child under one year old, it is preferable to consult a doctor for advice.
The main task facing parents is to develop immunity in the child. To do this, it is important to give him high-quality nutrition, including fresh fruits and vegetables, daily walks in the fresh air, and exercise. If a child has a strong immune system, then his body will fight and cope with infections on its own. Therefore, you do not have to give your baby medications and worry about side effects.

Contraindications
If your baby is not feeling well, be sure to consult a doctor, and only then use Tantum Verde spray. This is especially important if the child is newborn. So, an elevated temperature can become a sign not just of a cold, but of a more serious illness. After all, the baby will not be able to tell what exactly is hurting him, and a red throat may simply be an accompanying symptom. Of course, sore throat in infants is an extremely rare occurrence, but a cough can be a sign of bronchitis or pneumonia, which requires urgent treatment. For such diseases, the spray can only cause bronchospasm; moreover, antibiotics are indispensable. If the child’s throat is simply red and signs of tonsillitis appear, then the spray is prescribed as an addition to the main treatment. This promotes a speedy recovery.
The instructions for Tantum Verde indicate the following contraindications:
- taking tablets is contraindicated for people suffering from phenylketonuria and expectant mothers;
- the solution is contraindicated in patients under 12 years of age;
- Do not use the drug if you have allergic reactions to the components.
There are also a number of ailments that prohibit the use of Tantum Verde spray:
- asthma;
- ulcer;
- heart failure.

About possible allergic reactions
Along with positive reviews about the spray, you can also find negative ones. Almost all of them are caused by allergic reactions in infants to the components of the drug.
As mentioned above, the main component of Tantum Verde is benzydamine chloride, which has a powerful effect on the infection, actively influencing cellular processes. In children, such active exposure sometimes causes unpredictable consequences. Some babies may have an allergic reaction to additional components of the drug.
For the youngest patients, doctors prescribe only Tantum Verde spray, since its use has minimal chance of causing allergies. It is very convenient to use, but each person has an individual reaction to one or another component of the product.
Side effects while taking Tantum Verde
If the spray is used for a long time, serious consequences may occur, such as intestinal and gastric bleeding, anemia, and a decrease in the number of platelets.
It is important to use the drug as an additional component in complex therapy, but not as an independent remedy.
Side effects when using the spray include:
- vomiting and nausea;
- dizziness and headache;
- diarrhea;
- hives;
- itching;
- Quincke's edema.
Children may experience an allergic reaction to taking the spray in the form of a rash all over the body. Taking into account the characteristics of the child’s body, pediatricians, together with Tantum Verde, prescribe antihistamines for infants.
