DR. NATASHA BURGERT, BOARD-CERTIFIED PEDIATRICIAN, RECOMMENDS FRIDA BABY NOSEFRIDA AND NOSEFRIDA SALINE MIST AS GREAT WAY TO FIGHT COLDS, FLU AND RSV THIS WINTER

Nasal Aspiration and Saline are Key Solutions That Provide Symptom Relief

This winter is expected to be one of the toughest for colds, flu and RSV. These viruses are common this time of year, but they are surging earlier than usual. With multiple illnesses going around at the same time with similar symptoms, it can be challenging as a parent to navigate what to do when your child is sick.

Figuring out the best treatment, how to relieve symptoms and what to watch out for is taxing. What all of these respiratory illnesses have in common is how it affects the nasal passages. Studies show that the best way to help with the symptoms of the illnesses in children is by getting the mucus out with nasal aspiration and saline using products like the Frida Baby NoseFrida and Saline Mist. Clearing the nasal passages is the priority step towards relieving symptoms.

“One of the reasons kids have trouble with respiratory infections, including RSV and influenza, is anatomy. Human lungs are essentially a tunnel system for the air we breathe, and babies have tiny tunnels,” explains Dr. Burgert, “because these air tubes are so small, a baby’s respiratory system can quickly plug up with snot. These snot plugs are the cause for the long-lasting, nasty coughs. As kids grow up, the air tubes get physically bigger, so it’s easier for their bodies to handle snot-creating illnesses. We must expect and prepare for more hands-on care during the respiratory illness season when kids are little.”

That is where nasal aspirators and saline spray come into play and it is critical to have both for success. In particular, NoseFrida The SnotSucker and NoseFrida Saline Mist are key tools to help remove and loosen mucus buildup.

“The only way babies can clear their nasal passages is by sneezing. The sneeze creates a powerful rush of air that pushes out the snot in its path. But when snot builds up and gets overwhelming, babies rely on their caregivers to help,” says Dr. Burgert, “Frida Baby’s NoseFrida The Snotsucker and NoseFrida Saline Mist are critical tools used to help babies clear their nasal passages, creating room for babies to comfortably breathe and eat. Saline is critical to suction success. Saline helps to clear nasal passages, thin mucus for easier suctioning and creates a water seal to make suction more effective. Use saline before every sucking session for best results.”

Dr. Natasha Burgert is a board-certified pediatrician in Overland Park, Kansas with over 15 years of experience. She is a regular contributor to publications such as NBC Learn’s Parent Tool Kit, US News and World Report, and Forbes Health.
