This tool is especially useful for kids who have not yet learned how to blow their nose.

Pharmacodynamics
The best means for washing the nose is Aqualore. The composition of the drug includes marine minerals, which ensures active lavage (washing) of the nasal cavity: mucus is removed, swelling of the mucous membrane is reduced, liquid secretions are reduced, crusts are softened and peels are easily removed. Sea water is a buffer solution that normalizes the functioning of the ciliary epithelium, improves nasal breathing, increases local immunity, moisturizes the nasal mucosa, and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. “Aqualor” for the nose improves the adsorption of drugs from the surface of the mucous membrane. Due to this, the risk of local complications (otitis media, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis) is reduced, and the duration of the disease is reduced.
Using Nasal Washes
Spray "Aqualor" is equipped with a special nozzle that forms a direct stream, which allows not only to irrigate, but also to effectively rinse the nasal cavity. This procedure should not be performed for children under six months of age, since there is a risk of fluid entering the middle ear, which can provoke the development of inflammatory processes (otitis media).

- put the baby on his back;
- turn your head to the side;
- carefully insert the tip into the nostril and press the dispenser (2-3 s);
