My youngest has been struggling from asthma attack for almost a week now. And when I say asthma attack, it seems like everything comes in a package: cold, dry cough and fever. Good thing, we have everything needed in the house in times like this. That, I always make sure of!
Vicks Vaporub is used every night rubbed on her sole with socks to prevent her from coughing. I have been doing this very effective and affordable remedy for years now.
Ventolin Nebules for her asthma, only when she really needed it. Someone told me that warm water and salt could replace the nebules/NSS, and could be given every 30 minutes. That’s what I have been giving since then, unless she couldn’t fight the attack anymore. Not to forget Allerkid (not in the picture), an anti-histamine.
NasoClear Nasal Spray, the newest addition in the household, another product of Unilab. I first used it when I suffered from allergic rhinitis just last week and learned (from the label) that kids can also take it.
As written in the instructions, I sprayed 2x in each of her nostrils before bedtime. It was actually easier to use than how I have shown and handled it in the picture, but because she’s a kid, I could feel the control of the spray when I hold it that way, minus the tilting of her head and covering the other nostril. With myself, I do it the usual way:
2.Spray the solution into one nostril while covering the other nostril.
3.Spray 2 times in each nostril in the morning and at night.
NasoClear Nasal Spray Indications:
- Nasal congestion
- Cold or flu symptoms
- Nasal irritation due to pollen, dust mites, mold and pollution
- Nasal allergies
- Upper airway cough syndrome
At this moment, my 4 y/o is already recovering from nasal irritation. Here’s hoping that before we hit Poracay Resort next week, she’d be all well.
Thanks for making an article about this. I think my sister in law’s kids would definitely need this.
@Jenny Alano, My pleasure sis. I’m sure they’d be relieved, too!
Thanks for this! My eldest daughter is sick now and down with colds. I hope that this will relieve her nasal congestion as soon as possible because We’re on a scheduled out of town vacation this weekend.
Kapag mommy talaga,we need this kind of product to be at hand all the time,specially in this tropical weather that we are having, minsan sobrang init at biglang lalamig ng bonggang-bongga,talaga sakit ang aabutin ng mga tao specially kids.
I’ve had great experience with NasoClear, too. This item will be a staple in my medicine cabinet from now on. 🙂
