Nasensauger ... für eine freie Atmung - Colds and Runny Nose

Colds and runny nose

Colds accompanied by running noses are one of the most frequent illnesses affecting babies and young children. On average babies and young children suffer up to six colds per year. Babies suffer more during colds than adults as their noses are severally smaller, swell faster and their nasal cavity is blocked easier.

Additionally babies can breathe mostly through their noses making any nose blockage a serious discomfort and problem for them.

Consequences of untreated conditions

If not treated immediately, cold is accompanied by a runny nose can develop into more serious conditions such as inflammation of the middle ear, infection of the nasal cavity and disorder of the respiratory tracts. The main reason is the swollen nasal mucosa blocking the natural flow of secretions produced in the sinuses. Swallowing the secretions might even lead to stomach pain, feeling of sickness or diarrhoea.

Eating and sleeping problems

If the nose is blocked with secretions babies and young children can only partly replace nasal breathing with oral one. The natural reaction of any baby is serious crying to support the necessary supply of oxygen. Eating, drinking an especially recreational sleeping are seriously disturbed by that.

Keep the nose clean

During every cold it is crucial to keep the nose clean at any time by regularly removing the secretion. Keep in mind that you remove the secretions not only from the visible part of the nose but also from the nasal cavity. This effect you can achieve by using a special device with strong but gentle and steady sucking capacity. The "Nasensauger" was specially developed for that kind of treatment.
