Job the baby. "Job-baby" - a homeopathic medicine for the treatment of adenoiditis Indications for use

Adenoiditis is very common in children two years of age and older. This is explained, first of all, by the fragile immune system, which is not yet able to ward off viral and bacterial infections, which is why acute respiratory illnesses often develop. And the parents of a sick child, sooner or later, will have to choose which treatment to use - conservative (including homeopathy, physiological procedures) or surgical. The second type of treatment is associated with risks, which is why many people prefer the first.

One of the most popular medications prescribed in such cases is Job-Baby. This remedy has an anti-inflammatory effect and an extremely simple composition, but certain questions still remain.

What is this drug? At what age can it be used? Is it effective, what do other parents think about it?

Job-Baby is a complex homeopathic medicine with anti-inflammatory action. The drug is distinguished by the fact that it acts on the body extremely slowly (the course of treatment should last several months), but the effect of taking it remains until the end of life. The first improvements can be noticed within two to three weeks after the start of treatment. Moreover, Job-Baby not only fights adenoids, but also has a beneficial effect on overall health.

The product consists of the following ingredients:

  • pierced-leaved sapling, D6*;
  • iodine, D6;
  • barberry, D4;
  • thuja occidentalis, D12;
  • granulated sugar (additional component).

* - the letter D is used in homeopathy to indicate a decimal dilution (i.e. 1:10).

The number after the letter indicates the number of repetitions or, so to speak, the number of zeros in the proportion. Example: the marking “barberry, D4” means that the substance was diluted in a ratio of 1:10000, where 1 is barberry, and 10000 is the substance that was used as a solvent (this can be sugar, water or ethyl alcohol).

The drug is produced in bottles in the form of small light granules. The cost of one bottle is from 192 rubles. We must not forget that Job-Baby is a phyto-homeopathic remedy (that is, plant ingredients are diluted a thousand times), and not phytotherapeutic. It begins to be absorbed in the oral cavity, and then in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, no toxic substances are formed.

The official website of the manufacturer, the Talion-A company, reports that the drug was not developed theoretically, but was simply obtained thanks to the medical secrets of a hereditary homeopath. The product contains the experience of three generations of doctors. Job-Baby, by the way, is officially approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

On a note! Homeopathy is an alternative direction in medicine, the effectiveness of which most modern doctors do not recognize. Treatment is carried out using drugs that provoke the same symptoms in healthy people as in patients. Simply put, the principle of “like with like” applies.

Each of the active components contained in the drug is highly diluted, which means that, according to Avogadro’s number (the number of atoms, molecules and other constituent particles in one mole of the substance), they may not be present at all in the finished drug.

In what cases is Job-Little accepted?

The described drug is prescribed to young children for many ENT diseases. More precisely, it is prescribed by otolaryngologists as an addition to the main drug therapy, or by homeopaths as the main treatment.

In addition, the drug is prescribed not only for adenoids, but also for:

  • frequent colds;
  • sensitivity of the nasopharynx to diseases;
  • tonsillitis (both acute and chronic);
  • nervous excitability.

The drug is also used to prevent all the diseases mentioned above.

Conservative treatment of adenoids in traditional medicine is carried out only in the first and second degrees of the disease, after which parents are offered to undergo surgery to avoid possible consequences (such as persistent acute respiratory viral infections and colds, hearing impairment, etc.). In this regard, homeopathic medicines are used only at these stages and only as a component of complex treatment.

But in the case of homeopathic therapy, Job-Baby can be prescribed regardless of the stage of development of the disease. Moreover, homeopaths consider surgical removal to be an outdated therapeutic method.

Features of taking the drug

There are several schemes for taking the described remedy, let’s get acquainted with them.

Table. Job-Baby - dosage regimens

NameShort description
First schemeIt consists of taking the drug once or twice a day, five to six days a week. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor, but it must be at least two months. In addition, longer treatment is possible (more than a year).
Second schemeJob-Baby is used in combination with Phthision. The drugs are alternated every other day and taken two to three times a day. The course of treatment is prescribed by a homeopathic doctor, but must be at least two months. As in the previous scheme, the reception may be longer - more than a year.

On a note! The exact dosage of the drug, as well as the duration of administration, should be prescribed only by a doctor.

Now we will give some tips and explanations regarding treatment.

  1. If your condition worsens or if you have a negative reaction to taking it, you should take a short break (five to seven days).
  2. The drug can only be prescribed to children over two years of age, because it is available in small granules. Although homeopaths often prescribe Job-Baby at an earlier age, advising to grind it into particles.
  3. If the child has an acute cold, the dosage may be increased.
  4. It is recommended to combine the drug with traditional treatment (medicines, physiological procedures).
  5. Short breaks in taking will not affect the effectiveness of the entire course of therapy.
  6. The product granules need to be dissolved or chewed (you don’t need to drink it).
  7. Vaccinations during treatment are given only in emergency situations.
  8. If during treatment the patient's condition steadily worsens, then the course should be stopped or, alternatively, the pauses between doses should be increased.

Contraindications

The manufacturer's instructions indicate a number of contraindications:

  • diseases and inflammations of the thyroid gland, as well as congenital anomalies (Job-Baby contains iodine, so treatment can begin after consulting an endocrinologist);
  • acute sinusitis (in such cases, antibacterial drugs are prescribed);
  • hypersensitivity to ingredients;
  • sinusitis (needs appropriate treatment, since adenoids are just a factor that provokes the development of this disease).

As for accidental overdoses, they are absolutely harmless.

On a note! Due to thousand-fold dilutions, homeopathic medicines are often neutral alcohol, water, etc., so it is difficult to talk about the consequences of an overdose. Many doctors, speaking about the effectiveness of these drugs, compare them with placebo, which is based on self-hypnosis.

Doctors' opinions on homeopathy for adenoids

Homeopathy has become increasingly popular recently. Parents prefer this method due to its numerous advantages.

These benefits include:

  • natural composition;
  • Possibility of use from infancy;
  • lack of addiction;
  • minimal risk of allergies;
  • Possibility of use as an adjunct to medical treatment;
  • wide spectrum of action;
  • gentle effect.

But doctors have different assessments of the effectiveness of homeopathy, in particular the drug Job-Baby. For example, A. A. Voronkov, a leading Moscow homeopath, assures that in his thirty years of practice he has not met a single child who was not cured after competent homeopathic treatment. Voronkov adds that parents often try various treatment methods - from powerful antimicrobial drugs to air humidifiers, which ultimately affects the health of the fragile body. But homeopathic remedies, according to the doctor, not only dissolve adenoids, but also cure other diseases and restore strength.

The opposite opinion is shared by I.V. Leskov, an experienced otolaryngologist who is developing new methods of treating ENT diseases. Leskov claims that the effectiveness of Job-Baby is only 5 percent, since it is, first of all, a choleretic agent, and the adenoids are resorbed due to a side effect - an increase in the intensity of lymph outflow. Doctors who prescribe Job-Baby pin their hopes on precisely this side effect. But with bacterial inflammation of the adenoids, the otolaryngologist says, due to the choleretic effect of the drug, problems with the gastrointestinal tract (including vomiting) may occur.

Other homeopathic medicines created by the respiratory system (for example, Lymphomyosot) are rated higher by Leskov than Job-Kid (their effectiveness, in his opinion, reaches 10-15 percent).

And E. O. Komarovsky, another famous doctor, is skeptical about homeopathy in general. He is confident that there is not a single piece of evidence that these drugs are more effective than plain water. Moreover, to prescribe homeopathic treatment, a person must be a certified doctor, that is, graduate from one of the universities in which homeopathy is not known to be taught.

Job-Baby for adenoids: reviews from parents

As for parents, their reviews are mostly positive. Judge for yourself.

Tatiana K.

They drank Job-Little for six months, but there was no result. Several times I suffered from otitis media caused by adenoids. But after another two months, my daughter’s condition suddenly improved. She sniffles, but when she sleeps, she breathes through her nose.

Valeria S.

We took the drug strictly according to the regimen for one or two months, and for 9 months the adenoids did not bother us. Previously, the child grunted constantly.

There are many similar reviews on thematic forums, but there are also those parents who have a negative attitude towards the drug.

Valentina J.

They drank Job both separately and in combination with other drugs. Now the baby is three and a half, but breathes mainly through his mouth. It’s difficult to talk about any positive results, but we are afraid to have surgery, so we are delaying it. There is an opinion that the drug causes a purulent runny nose, and they even stopped treatment twice because they could not cope with it. When we stop taking it, the runny nose goes away.

Job-Baby gives good results in treatment

Job-Baby is widely used in the treatment of adenoids, it is absolutely safe and does not contain harmful or artificial additives. But the opinions of both parents and doctors regarding its effectiveness are very contradictory, so it is advisable to take the drug only after preliminary consultation with a specialist.

    My son was 1 year old and his adenoids were removed. Nothing has improved. Then I found out about JOB Malysh, a superrrrr remedy, the child stopped getting sick. Stopped snoring, catching colds, etc. We drank these delicious tablets for about 2-3 years. I recommend it, you won't regret it. Every day 5 pieces, Saturday-Sunday closed.

    We had bronchial asthma in question. Due to frequent colds, adenoids of the 3rd degree. The child is now 6 years old. He began to breathe through his mouth. It was a nightmare.

He sprayed in his nose even in the kindergarten for an hour before bed. We started treatment for Job baby ( 8 granules in the morning on an empty stomach (Sat and Sun break)) and drops of thuja oil (GF) 2 drops in the morning and evening. After diligent treatment, my son began to breathe freely. Previously, there was such despair that he already had circles under his eyes from constant debt. a month of treatment, and the difference is huge. Immunity has also improved greatly. We also bought an air humidifier. It’s easier to breathe
    especially in winter (the air from the batteries is dry)

    The child is almost 3 years old. First they diagnosed grade 1-2 adenoids. After a while it’s already 2-3. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, adenoiditis. I was treated with Nosonex spray. The doctor also prescribed Lymphomyosot and Zyrtec drops (to drink diluted in water), but my child spat them out, which is what I didn’t do. Treatment with Nasonex did not help. The child snored at night... The child is almost 3 years old. First they diagnosed grade 1-2 adenoids. After a while it’s already 2-3. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, adenoiditis.

Treatment with Nasonex did not help. The child snored at night like a tractor. Sometimes he would hold his breath for a few seconds, then he would sigh with difficulty and continue to snore. We excluded hypothetical allergens - cocoa, sweets, juices, etc., and kept flour/pasta to a minimum. I started giving IOV Baby 4 granules in the morning and evening (since the baby is tall and large) 5 days a week and spraying Euphorbium compositum nazentropfen C spray three times a day. I don’t know which of these drugs helped the child, but within the first day after use, snoring almost disappeared. A week later, my breathing became quiet and clear. Now a little more than a month has passed since the start of treatment. I was surprised that when the other day I fell ill with an acute respiratory infection, in a rather severe form, the child escaped with light snot and the snoring did not return, as it had before. Perhaps the treatment has a positive effect on the immune system in general. I recommend these two drugs. Treatment with homeopathic medicines is long-term. And, as I understand it, it is only possible if the situation is not difficult. For example, there are no ear complications or other problems that require urgent solutions. Thanks to the people who left reviews of these drugs on the Internet, thanks to which the problem was solved. Health to everyone!

When the pediatrician told us that the child had adenoiditis, I was honestly scared. The thought immediately came to mind that the child might have his adenoids removed. But fortunately, we were lucky. We were lucky that the child had only the first stage and very lucky that we had a very good doctor - a pediatric ENT specialist.
    To treat adenoiditis, we were prescribed drug treatment, which included the drug Job-Baby.

    The doctor placed special emphasis on this drug. Job-Baby is a homeopathic remedy with an anti-inflammatory effect, and the drug also helps to increase the child’s immunity. As the doctor told us, the drug is really very effective in treating adenoids. Although, as he himself said, he is not a “fan” of homeopathy, Job-Baby is the homeopathic drug that really works.
    Of course, with stage 3 - 4 adenoids, the drug is unlikely to help, but for stages 1 - 2 - out of 10 cases, Job-Baby helps in 8.
    We were prescribed to take the drug according to the following regimen:
    8 granules - 1 time per day, preferably at the same time, convenient for us.
    We accept 5 days - 2 days rest.
    We accepted from Monday to Friday.
    The course of treatment is 3 months.
    The granules are small, creamy-grayish in color, with a pleasant sweet and sour taste.
    My daughter really liked them, she took them with pleasure.
    We saw the doctor a month later, as he said. And we were very pleased with the result. The adenoids shrank, the doctor noted positive dynamics. He told me to continue the treatment as prescribed.
    We completed the full course of treatment.
    Now, six months after positive treatment, the adenoids no longer bother us.

    Now Job-Baby is already in new packaging. Previously, this drug was produced in Russia, but now its production has been officially established in Ukraine. I am very pleased, it was painless to go to the garden in the fall.

    Hello! My son is 4 years old. They diagnosed adenoiditis as grade 2-3, the doctor said it would be better to remove it. But tomorrow I will go to another doctor. I wouldn't want to remove them for my son. I myself had some that were removed, but they didn’t seem to grow any more, and they were removed for me under general anesthesia. But what really makes me... Hello! My son is 4 years old. They diagnosed adenoiditis as grade 2-3, the doctor said it would be better to remove it. But tomorrow I will go to another doctor. I wouldn't want to remove them for my son. I myself had some that were removed, but they didn’t seem to grow any more, and they were removed for me under general anesthesia. But what really scares me is that he began to hear rather poorly, since he hears normally and he didn’t hear anything. So I don’t know what to do. We drank Job Baby about 1.5 years ago, but unfortunately we didn’t drink it for a year, but only for a month. And that’s why I didn’t see any improvement then, and at that time we had grade 1-2. But the doctor, in my opinion, only prescribed it for a month, or I didn’t hear her correctly. But from today I started giving it as written in the instructions. I want to know public opinion on my problem?

    My eldest daughter was treated for adenoids with the help of Job-baby, there was an excellent result, although the treatment took a long time, but it was worth it. When I was a child, I had my adenoids removed, nothing pleasant, as I remember now, local anesthesia and blood gushing into my mouth.

When I was a child, I had my adenoids removed, nothing pleasant, as I remember now, local anesthesia and blood gushing into my mouth.

Adenoid vegetation is an enlargement of the nasopharyngeal tonsil as a result of inflammation, often a consequence of previous diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The pathology is typical for children under 10 years of age and can also occur at a younger age. In case of complications, surgical removal is possible. In the first stages of the disease, conservative complex treatment, including homeopathic remedies, helps. For many children, doctors prescribe a course of taking the drug Job-Baby.

Composition of the drug

The product is available in granular form, 20 g in a dark glass bottle, costs about 200 rubles. Includes the following components:

  1. Iodine D6. Participates in the production of thyroid hormones, which improve cellular metabolism, enhance immunity, stimulate the nervous system and the synthesis of certain vitamins in the body;
  2. Thuja D12. Relieves inflammation and has an antimicrobial effect. Tones the nervous system, fights fatigue, improves mental activity;
  3. Barberry berries D4. They have a choleretic and antipyretic effect. They have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties, strengthen blood vessels;
  4. Pierced leaf sapling D6. Thanks to its diaphoretic properties, it lowers temperature, is indicated for inflammatory diseases of an infectious nature, enhances the removal of mucus from the respiratory tract and relieves pain.
  5. Sugar granules act as an auxiliary substance for giving the shape of dragees and have a sweetish taste.

Breeding method

The Latin letter D indicates the dilution of the substance in a ratio of 1:10, the number next to it indicates the number of dilutions. Such designations are used in homeopathic preparations and assume a low concentration of active substances. The components slowly affect the body, stimulating its protective functions and normalizing the functioning of all systems.

When is it prescribed?

The drug is homeopathic and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Prescribed by a doctor as an adjuvant in a complex of drug therapy. Homeopaths sometimes recommend Job Baby for primary treatment. Indications for use:

  • Adenoids of any degree, also with accompanying complications;
  • Tonsillitis in acute and chronic form;
  • Frequent colds, infections due to decreased immunity;
  • Anxiety and increased nervous excitability in children with adenoiditis, caused by the symptoms of the disease: impaired nasal breathing and hearing.

If left untreated, adenoids in a child can cause developmental delays, hearing impairment, and weakened immunity. Therefore, at the last stage of the disease, surgical intervention is recommended to remove the formations in order to avoid consequences. In the first stages, drug treatment is prescribed and Job is used as an auxiliary restorative and anti-inflammatory agent.

In some cases, the drug promotes complete resorption of the adenoids, eliminating the need to send the patient under the knife. The specificity of the effect allows you to consolidate the result, prevent the recurrence of the disease and contribute to the overall strengthening of the body.

Patient age

The instructions contain an age limit - from 3 years. This is caused by both the form of the product (a child can swallow a whole granule and choke) and the composition: thuja and saplings in their usual form are contraindicated for children under two years of age. Homeopathic doses are much smaller and do not have a pronounced effect, so doctors prescribe the drug to very young patients, for whom the granules need to be crushed.

It is better to use Job Baby after consulting a homeopath, but most often the drug is prescribed by a pediatrician or ENT specialist. You cannot make your own decision about using the drug, because there are contraindications.

The doctor individually determines how to take the drug. The instructions contain basic recommendations:

  • Dosage regimen: 8-10 tablets per day for 4 days, then a break of 3 days. The duration of the course is prescribed by the doctor;
  • The granules do not need to be swallowed whole, they must be chewed or dissolved;
  • Do not drink or take with food. This reduces the absorption of active substances;
  • Should be taken 30 minutes before a meal, or 3-4 hours after it.

Course duration

The course of treatment is long, can range from 2 months to a year. Several courses of treatment are possible until complete recovery. Due to the mild effect, the first results can be seen after the third week of use.

In some cases, Phthision and Job the Kid are combined. One day the first drug is taken, the other day the second. Alternate administration lasts two or more months, as prescribed by the doctor.

A short break in the use of the drug does not affect the results of treatment. In the acute stage of the disease, in consultation with the doctor, it is possible to increase the dosage.

Contraindications

You should not use the drug in the following cases:

  1. Disturbance of the thyroid gland: decreased or increased production of hormones, inflammation, developmental abnormalities. The product contains iodine; before use, you should consult an endocrinologist;
  2. Individual intolerance to components;
  3. Acute sinusitis, sinusitis;
  4. Diabetes. It should be taken in consultation with your doctor and keep in mind that one tablet contains 0.002 bread units.

Some components may cause an allergic reaction. The low content of active substances eliminates side effects in case of overdose, if the drug is well tolerated. Concomitant use with other medications does not affect their effect.

The use of the drug may cause a temporary exacerbation of symptoms of the disease. It is better to stop taking it for a while and consult a doctor.

Experts' opinion

Attitudes towards the use of homeopathy in the treatment of adenoids are controversial. Doctors prescribe Job Baby for adenoids because of its features:

  • Consists of plant components;
  • Does not cause dependence or addiction;
  • Strengthens the body, can be used in combination with other drugs;
  • It has a mild effect and rarely causes intolerance.

Many experts have a positive attitude towards the use of the drug and note good results when using it as the main remedy. The effect that stimulates the defenses makes it possible to cure the disease and its accompanying complications without medicinal load on the internal organs.

Negative opinions

There are otolaryngologists who point out the negative effects of the drug in the treatment of adenoiditis. The drug increases the outflow of lymph, which helps relieve swelling in the adenoids. If the disease is accompanied by bacterial inflammation, pus and mucus appear, which obstruct the outflow of lymphatic fluid. Therefore, positive results are observed in 5% of cases of use. In addition, the choleretic effect of the drug may adversely affect the functioning of the digestive system.

According to some experts, the drugs Lymphomyosot and Euphorbium are more effective. The first drug improves immunity, promotes lymphatic drainage, relieves inflammation and swelling, reduces the effects of toxins and removes them from the body. It has a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes and does not irritate the digestive system. Euphorbium has a beneficial effect on the nasal mucosa, locally improving metabolic processes.

Dr. Komarovsky considers the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines to be unproven and due to the placebo effect. He notes the problem of using homeopathy for medicinal purposes: doctors do not always have sufficient knowledge in this area, and homeopaths cannot always make the correct diagnosis to determine the possibility of using homeopathic remedies.
