Is it possible to get into the salt mines of Solotvyno with a child, having arrived as a savage?
A 6-year-old child is diagnosed with bronchial asthma. We want to go to Solotvino. What are the accommodation and treatment options?

I don't think it's easy. I was there recently and at the hospital where the mines were, they told me that all the mines were flooded this year, only one eighth of the mine remained and the queue there was very long. With asthma, you need to stay there for 21 days in the mine. The state of the mine itself is terrible, but they say it helps well.

I was in Solotvyno 10 times, on free vouchers from the hospital. If you do not make special requirements for living, then you can settle in the main building, there are not very amenities, but you can live.
Try calling tel. 56-350 or 2-15-00, Solotvino code, I hope you will find out for yourself. Ask to connect with the chief medical officer, he solves all issues related to the settlement.
There is another hospital there, a regional one. It is very difficult to get into it, you need to look for a phone number, call in advance and pay. They have a tough check in day - one for everyone but mine is so much better!

For Marina-Oskol
You will not see the effect immediately after Solotvino. It manifests itself somehow gradually, it is advisable to travel annually, then the condition will simply imperceptibly improve, attacks become less frequent. Or maybe they'll just go away! But in any case, there is a very good place, most people get much better on the 3rd day, especially after swimming in salt lakes!
But in general, asthmatics in Solotvyno are told that they need to come 3 years in a row, and then annually :-)

We have not gone to Solotvyno yet, we are going this summer. OUR attending physician recommended not to go down into the mines for the first time, but simply to live near the lake, since the climate itself is very favorable for such diseases, and it is necessary to spend the night in the mines. it’s cold and the child can catch a cold and the trip is more likely to harm. what will be useful. This year we will still try to go to Solotvyno

I think that it is necessary to go down into the mines! It was always very warm there in the mines! Moreover, you can dress a child, there are beds, there are blankets. And besides, there are day shifts, it is not necessary to take night shifts! And doctors in Solotvyno will never allow a child to stay overnight at the first visit! Only after a few descents and only when I feel better!!! Moreover, you can ask a doctor and go down for the first time with the child, and in general go down with him all the time, then you will be placed down there in one ward. Now it seems that one descent costs 50 UAH, but in the summer there are probably a lot of people there.

Thank you very much for your advice! We will definitely listen to him. I am also interested in how it is possible, having arrived without a ticket, to get an appointment with a doctor. Do they accept ordinary visitors? Or who should I contact?

The best thing to do is to call them, look somewhere on their website for phone numbers. But now they have set up a lot of all sorts of complexes at the hospital, there seem to be doctors there too. I think it's expensive, but with all the amenities. There are even 2-storey cottages in the forest area near the lake. But still, you need to book in advance for the summer, there were always a lot of people there even in May. But in general, for money, it seems to me, any doctor will accept. And in general, no one will let you into the mines without a doctor's prescription, even for money! Therefore, in any case, you need to see a doctor! Rooms are rented in the private sector, but then it will still be more problematic to get to the doctor. So try to call there, to agree. Otherwise, you will be nervous with the child, look for housing. And in general, there are probably no less people there in the summer than in the Crimea! Better to go in spring or autumn!
