Questions & Answers
When I received the Little Remedies saline spray, the seal had been broken off and it had been opened. I threw it away because I was unable to return it.
It didn't completely clear up at first, but a few drops and the nose suction helped to clear out the larger, harder boogers.
I purchased several boxes in December of 2014, and they are all due to expire in August of 2016. But I'm not sure if that'll help much!
Saline water (also known as salt water) is simply water with sodium chloride added to it. If it gets in the eyes, it shouldn't be a major problem.

My cat has been suffering from chronic congestion since the day I brought him home, and this is the only thing that has allowed him to breathe normally. Because the vet had no idea what to do with him, this was my last-ditch effort to find a solution. I believe it is worth trying on your chronically congested cats as long as they are willing to tolerate you tipping their head back for a few seconds. br>br>I put two drops in each nostril once or twice a day (depending on how bad he is), and he doesn't have nearly as many breathing problems as he used to. Hopefully, this review will be useful to other cat owners who are frustrated.
"Everything they require, nothing they do not," the package reads. "Water, salt, moisturizer, water softeners, chelating agents, and a surfactant known to irritate humans are among the seven ingredients in this saline spray. You'd be better off purchasing one of the two competitors, armies. The only ingredients in hammer simply saline or boogie mist are water and salt, and they claim no side effects on the box, despite the fact that several of these ingredients have been known to cause side effects in the past. I'm not going to take any unnecessary risks if I'm going to put my baby's noise on display. Simply saline on myself and boogie mist on my baby have both received excellent reviews and perform admirably. br>br>Followed by: br>br>Followed by: br>b Human skin and eyes are both irritated by benzalkonium chloride.

I wouldn't be able to live without these drops! My little one is a mucusy baby who constantly has tacky boogers/snot in his nose, making breathing difficult for him. I put 1- It works like magic if you use 2 drops of saline and then use the nose freida. I've tried the drops on their own and they do help loosen things up, but if you really want to get the stuff out-- You'll need to use suction to get the job done. I've discovered that sitting my baby up on my knees at an incline and just barely tilting his head back is the best way to apply the drops to a smaller infant. I'm going to start with one. 2 drops on the inside edge of his nose, and I rub it in with my fingertip.
IT IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED! YES, THERE IS NO LIQUID OR OTHER THING IN THE PLASTIC BOTTLE! WHAT A DISGUSTING EXPERIENCE. br>.
If I try to use these as a nose drop, they immediately drip onto my child's face. Then, as the drops roll down his face, he tries to eat them. Yuck. So I decided to use the spray feature on my stuffy baby this morning instead; after all, it says it's safe for newborns. When I sprayed this into his nose, he became unable to breathe at all. I had to put my mouth on his nose and suck to keep him breathing until I could locate my aspirator and clear him out. Of course, after I used the aspirator, he sounded better and was less stuffy, but no thanks! Next time, I'll use NoseFrida's saline drops. My son appears to be unconcerned about the spray on that one, let alone choke on it.
It's a Game-Changer, to say the least. After weeks of dealing with two sick children, I came across this on Amazon on my own. Why are doctors failing to inform you of this? I also haven't been able to locate it in any of the stores in my neighborhood. After reading positive reviews, I decided to place an order, and I'm glad I did. Wow, this stuff really works. br>br>This is what I used on my 15-year-old daughter's 15-year-old daughter's 15-year-old daughter's 15 month and three months year old. They've been re-acquainted. For the past two months, I have been suffering from back colds. I tried it on myself and found it to be very gentle, moisturizing, and effective at opening up the airways in under a minute and keeping them open for about three minutes. The liquid will run down the back of the sinus passageways and down the back of the throat after you drop it into your nose for 4 hours, but it is not unpleasant. It has a slight sweetness to it and does not sting. Completely non-aggressive. I use adult decongestant sprays on myself, but this isn't one of them. br>br>I discovered that it works best when the nostrils are clear of mucus. To remove mucus, I first use saline drops and an aspirator, then add about 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Each nostril should have 3 drops of this. To work it in, gently squeeze your nostrils. When I do this, the kids cry, but within minutes, they are breathing and smiling again. br>br>I was under the impression that the four-pack on Amazon would be excessive. However, in the last two months, I've gone through a bottle and a half with two sick children, and I don't use it on them very often. When the kids are squirming and fighting you, you may miss something, and I suppose there is some waste there. So I'm glad I prepared ahead of time for the upcoming cold and flu season. Now that I have it in my baby cold symptom fighting arsenal, it's been a complete game changer. Everyone is capable of sleeping for at least two hours. Even with the worst colds, 4 hour stretches are possible.
These drops, after all, are in perfect condition. They certainly do a good job. They aren't exceptional, though. Please go to your local CVS or, if you don't want to go into a store, just buy regular saline drops. They irritate my child as much as these do. Regular drops will give you more bang for your buck.
It works every time! Just a few drops and the baby is breathing clearly almost immediately. I've found that laying him flat on his back across my thighs and gently raising the leg opposite his head is the most effective way to administer it. Because he is on Grandma's lap, this slightly tilts his head back, but he still feels secure. I keep his attention on me by singing silly songs and maintaining eye contact, then move quickly to get the drops in before he loses his cool. Lol. These drops are lifesavers, but I only use them as a last resort to prevent him from becoming dependent on them, which is unlikely given that they are all natural. I keep these in my diaper bag and at home so they're always close at hand when I need them, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for natural relief for a stuffy nose in their baby.
