A runny nose is a common childhood problem, babies suffer from it much more often than adults, and they manage to blow their nose only by the age of three. Up to this point, cleaning the sinuses and airways is the task of the parents. Since ancient times, young mothers have pulled snot with their own mouths, which is unpleasant to even think about, but the most dangerous thing is contact with viruses that also settle in the parent's nasopharynx and lead to illness. Modern parents take care of the nose of newborn babies with special devices and devices - aspirators.

How to choose an aspirator

Snot is the concentration of dead spent leukocytes and the viruses defeated by them. The task of the aspirator is to draw this fluid out of the respiratory tract so that the baby can breathe freely, and hard crusts do not form inside the channels. Depending on the traction force of the device, cleaning of varying degrees occurs: only their nasal strip, from the sinuses and even the pharynx. According to the type of suction drive, aspirators are:

1. Mechanical, are a tube with two plastic nozzles at the ends: one is inserted into the baby's nose, the second (mouthpiece) into the mother's mouth, which draws in air, taking snot with the air flow, they, in turn, linger in the filter gasket, which is then removed.
2. Electrical- These are electrically driven devices that create a thrust of a certain force, depending on the degree of congestion and the age of the child. They are convenient in that they do not require the application of force by an adult and exclude direct infection.
3. Vacuum aspirators- these are tubes with nozzles connected to a household vacuum cleaner. These are best used with a severe runny nose.
4. Douches or the well-known "pears" are suitable for the smallest newborn babies - their suction power is minimal, and the soft latex or plastic nose is completely safe for the skin.

The market is filled with various offers from manufacturers of aspirators, when choosing, you need to pay attention to several important aspects:

1. Age appropriate. For babies, a powerful device is useless - it will rather scare the baby, and they practically do not have a large amount of dead epithelium. For different age groups, the size of the tip of the nozzle also differs. In order not to be mistaken, pay attention to the age limits indicated in the instructions for the device.
2. Ease of cleaning and maintenance- it is necessary to process each constituent part suction mechanism in contact with snot and viruses, so models should be effortlessly disassembled.
3. Presence of a collection tank, in which a disposable filter, cotton wool or cotton pad is placed to collect liquid, today it is mandatory for all devices.
4. It will not be superfluous tip size limiter, inserted into the nose, to reduce the risk of excessive penetration into the respiratory passage and injury to its walls.
5. Noise of the device taken into account based on the preferences of children - it is unlikely that newborns will be comfortable using a vacuum aspirator, especially if the vacuum cleaner is very noisy, even if it has its traction power regulator. Mechanical devices and syringes do not make sounds at all.

The choice of an aspirator must be approached comprehensively. The experts of the EXPERTOLOGY portal, based on the opinions and experience of parents, have compiled a rating of the best nozzle pumps that exist on the domestic market today.

The best mechanical aspirators for newborns

According to the principle of operation, mechanical devices are the most understandable - the traction force is determined by the force of the parent's inhalation, respectively, an adult can feel which nostril the baby has, when it is necessary to pull in harder, and where it is weaker. This is the quietest type, but also the most unsafe - despite the presence of filters, there is a risk of the virus penetrating the duct into the nasopharynx of the parents.

Opens the rating of mechanical aspirators with the largest container for collecting snot Nosefrida. On the one hand, an elongated container with an internal filter and a rounded tip is attached to the air-conducting flexible tube, which does not have a limiter, but does not harm the skin and nasal canals - the tube simply does not fit into them, but fits snugly against the edge of the nostril, creating an airtight circuit. The plastic of the container is transparent, allowing you to evaluate the quantity and quality of the drawn liquid. On the other hand, a comfortable red mouthpiece for the parent.

Caring for the Nosefrida aspirator is easy: it is easy to disassemble it, just wash it with warm water and soap, if necessary, pour boiling water over it. The device for cleaning the nose is suitable for babies from 3 months old, it is also suitable for newborns, but it is not very convenient to use it because of the small nasal passages of the crumbs.

The price of the nasal aspirator Nosefrida is about 650 rubles.

Advantages

• Large liquid collection container, can clear 2 nostrils at a time;
• The design and filter prevent viruses from passing through the channel into the parent's mouth;
• Convenient care;
• Individual storage case for the aspirator;
• Transparent collection container for assessing the quantity and quality of the liquid;
• Effective for severe colds;

disadvantages

• High price.

In second place is the aspirator, which can be bought at any pharmacy - OTRIVIN BABY. It is suitable for babies in the first two years of life, starting from early infancy. It is a flexible tube on one side with a flat nozzle (mouthpiece) for an adult's mouth, on the other - with a plastic container for collecting snot that lingers in the foam filter. It is inconvenient to thoroughly clean it every time, many users change the sponge for a piece of cotton wool.

The collection container itself is large, but unlike the leader in the rating, the tip inserted into the nose is screwed to the container separately, the kit comes with 3 interchangeable nozzles of the same size at once.

The Otrivin Baby aspirator is also suitable for rinsing the nose; for this, the manufacturer recommends using drops or a spray of the same brand.

The price of the nasal aspirator OTRIVIN BABY is relatively affordable - about 360 rubles.

Advantages

• Large storage container with removable nozzles;
• Smoothed tip;
• 3 interchangeable nozzles for the spout included;
• Replaceable filter;

disadvantages

• There is no limiter on the nose of the plug-in nozzle;
• The manufacturer recommends using the nozzles once and buying new ones (in fact, they are easy to care for);
• Replaceable foam filters are difficult to clean;

The BEBE CONFORT mechanical nozzle pump is compact: it has a short tube, a small mouthpiece and a green mucus collection container with a rounded tip for safe application to the nostrils of babies from birth. The kit does not include filters, but there are 2 brushes for cleaning the tube.

The green plastic of the container is not quite convenient - it is difficult to determine the number of nozzles drawn out and their color through it to determine the correct treatment tactics. You will have to remove the nozzle, remove the filter and use it to identify the nature of the cold. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the BEBE CONFORT aspirator.

The price of the product is an average of 465 rubles.

Advantages

• Compact dimensions;
• It is convenient to wash with warm water and soap and clean the tube with a brush;
• Suitable for babies from birth;

disadvantages

• High price for a simple aspirator without additional nozzles;

Nasal aspirator Aqua Maris

Closes the rating of mechanical aspirators is the device for cleaning the baby's nose from Aqua Maris. This is a set that includes a straw with a mouthpiece for an adult, as well as a container with interchangeable nozzles for insertion into the spout. The manufacturer prescribes to throw away the nozzle after each cleaning of the nasal passages, but in monetary terms this is unprofitable - a new set of tips will cost an average of 23 rubles apiece. Practical parents simply rinse the nozzles with warm water, even pour boiling water over them and carry out the procedures for cleaning the child's nose with a completely clean device.

The best filter for the Aqua Maris aspirator is cotton wool, which must be thrown away after the procedure is completed. The device is also suitable for cleaning the nasal passages when washing with sea water.

The price of the nasal aspirator Aqua Maris is about 365 rubles.

Advantages

• 4 interchangeable nozzles included;
• Easy care;
• Convenient container and mouthpiece shape;

disadvantages

• The manufacturer prescribes the change of aspirator nozzles after each procedure.
• High price.

The best electric aspirators for newborns

The device with an electric pump is attractive in terms of ease of use: insert the container with the tip into the baby's nose, turn on the button, a couple of seconds and the job is done. The design of the devices does not imply conductive tubes, it is a hand-held unit with an attached collection nozzle, which limits the access of mucus to the mechanism, it must be taken care of by normal washing with warm soapy water.

The first ever Coclean New electric aspirator with a comfortable curved design. The suction power compared to other devices is increased by 20% to 600 mmHg. st, allows you to clean the baby's nose not only from liquid mucus, but also from the resulting crusts. Two soft silicone nozzles included in the kit do not injure the nostrils and mucous membranes, their tips are rounded for easy and safe insertion into the very base of the nasal passage. The noise level of Coclean New is minimal, as noted, it does not frighten the kids.

The electric aspirator operates in two modes: irrigating the passages and sinuses with saline using a nozzle - atomizer, the second - pulling out mucus with flushing fluid through the second tip in traction mode. Thus, nose cleaning occurs not only mechanically, but also therapeutically: tissues soften, making breathing easier, and salt contributes to maximum disinfection and removal of pathogens.

The work is provided by a built-in battery, the charge of which is enough for 25 minutes of manipulation, after which it will be necessary to connect to the charger for 8-12 hours.

The price of Coclean New is from 8100 rubles.

Advantages

• High price;
• Small collection container 5 ml;

In second place is the less functional electric aspirator B.Well WC-150, designed only for cleaning the nose. Its thrust force is less than that of the leader - only 450 mm Hg. Art., not the most convenient direct design, but otherwise it only wins - it weighs only 250 grams, runs on 2 AA batteries for 40 minutes, the procedure is performed to music - only 12 melodies, and the design of the device is bright with yellow corps. For safe storage, the manufacturer has equipped the B.Well WC-150 with a case, and for hygienic convenience, it has provided 2 nozzles for the spout.

The design feature is an adapter between the spout and the container in which the mucus is retained, which makes it not so easy to wash it. Some users also note that snot gets into the motor part, which is associated with poor-quality assembly of individual device models.

The price of the B.Well WC-150 electric aspirator is affordable - about 1400 rubles.

Advantages

• 2 nozzles for cleaning the nasal passages;
• Affordable price;
• Yellow body, decorated with the image of a giraffe;
• Long work from AA batteries;
• Musical accompaniment of the procedure with incendiary melodies;
• Optimal suction power;

disadvantages

• There is a marriage with a poor-quality assembly;
• Not the most convenient cleaning;
• Vertical body, you need to keep the baby also upright;
• Suction force is not adjustable;

Completes the rating of electric aspirators CLEANOZ, which is suitable for the smallest due to the relatively low thrust. Latex cone-shaped nozzles limit the introduction of the spout into the nostrils, preventing injury to the mucous membrane. The manufacturer recommends not cleaning them after use, but purchasing new ones.

Nanos is powered by three AAA small finger batteries included with the sales kit, they will last for a long time - up to 30-40 minutes. There is only one start button, it turns the motor on and off when the baby's nose is already clean.

Judging by the reviews, the CLEANOZ aspirator is quite solid in terms of build quality, but the traction force of the pump is insufficient to clear the nasal passages with a severe cold. The cost of the device is 1800 rubles.

Advantages

• Convenient curved body shape;
• Long work from AAA batteries;
• The nozzle expanding towards the base limits the introduction into the nostrils;

disadvantages

• Small traction force.

The best vacuum aspirators for newborns

Vacuum aspirators are similar to mechanical ones, but instead of a mouthpiece for the mouth, there is a nozzle for attaching to a vacuum cleaner hose or tube. You can thoroughly clean your nose with such a device, even with a bad cold, but in this case, the requirements are already made to the vacuum cleaner: it must have a power regulator and a low noise level. Our ranking presents the only popular vacuum type aspirator on the market that can be connected to a central pump, in this case a vacuum cleaner.

The most popular vacuum aspirator is the Baby-Vac tube with a nozzle for attaching to professional pumps in hospitals or conventional vacuum cleaners at home. The uniqueness of the device is in the automatic reduction of traction and its stabilization for safe and comfortable cleansing of the airways and even sinuses.

A nozzle with a widened base will not allow you to enter it deeply, ensuring the safety of the already irritated mucosa. The collection of mucus takes place in a container, almost nothing gets into the tube thanks to the filter. The procedure takes only a few minutes, so the discomfort will be minimal. The aspirator has no age restrictions, therefore it is suitable for babies from the first day of life.

The price of a reusable Baby-Vac tube is about 1400 rubles.

Advantages

• Reduces the strong traction of the vacuum cleaner to a safe one;
• Convenient care;
• The container will allow you to clean 2 nasal passages at once;
• Suitable for vacuum cleaner pipes of different diameters;

disadvantages

• Not defined.

The best syringe aspirators

Traditional "pears" are ideal for newborns and babies up to a year old, they help to cope with a slight runny nose, draw out liquid mucus without clots. It is only important to pay attention to the material of the tip of the nozzle - it must be safe for the delicate skin and mucous membranes of the baby.

The Chicco aspirator-pear with dimensions of 10x5x5 cm is suitable for combating the anatomical runny nose of the smallest children from the first month of life. It is made of a flexible polymer that springs back easily when pressed, thus providing a gentle pull sufficient to expel liquid snot. The tip with a broadened base will not allow the device to be inserted far into the nasal passage, therefore it is completely safe, and for small babies it will be enough just to attach it to the edge of the nostril and press it lightly.

You can wash the Chicco 00004923000000 syringe in warm water, nozzles can be purchased separately if necessary. The cost of the aspirator itself is about 330 rubles.

Advantages

• Soft "pear" that returns shape and creates traction;
• Available price;
• Safe nozzle with a wide rounded tip;

disadvantages

• Does not work with severe congestion due to weak traction.

In second place is the syringe from Happy Baby, it is smaller than the leader - only 8x4 cm. But it is just as elastic and elastic, it creates a small craving for the withdrawal of liquid snot, it is also not suitable for a severe cold. The plastic nozzle does not injure the baby's skin, there is an insertion limiter on the tip, for children with narrow nostrils it is enough to attach it close to the entrance to the nasal canal.

Due to the small size, the Happy Baby syringe does not create good traction, this was noted by users - the effect of use is weak, but this is a problem for all aspirators without exception. The device will do a good job of cleaning the channels after washing with sea water or removing liquid from the spout after walking or sleeping.

The price of Happy Baby 17002 is 310 rubles.

Advantages

• Compact size, convenient for travel first aid kit;
• Easy maintenance by rinsing with water;
• Safety nozzle with restrictive tip;

disadvantages

• Weak traction.

A runny nose in infants is a serious matter. Since babies do not know how to blow their nose on their own, the mucous secretion accumulates in the nose, representing a fertile ground for the reproduction of pathogens. This is fraught with the development of serious infectious diseases, and due to constant breathing through the mouth, an abnormal bite is formed. A device called an aspirator helps to check for mucus in the nasal passages and, if necessary, remove it. After reading the article, you can see the rating of the best nozzle suckers. The review includes modifications that can be used for adults. In addition to feedback from customers and doctors, the following characteristics were taken into account for inclusion in the rating:

• type of device: mechanical, vacuum or electronic;
• dimensions, weight;
• design (in the photo and in reality);
• noise at work;
• equipment;
• materials for the manufacture of fixture and tip;
• aspiration power;
• ease of use and care.

Factors such as the reaction of babies to the procedure, the possibility of using a device for newborns, the effectiveness of removing thickened secretions or hard crusts were also taken into account. Another important point is the price. Practice shows that a good and efficient device is not necessarily expensive.

Before you buy an aspirator, make sure it meets a list of simple requirements:

• ease of use;
• silent operation;
• sufficient capacity of the container for mucus;
• possibility of use for children different ages(there are also "adult" aspirators);
• quick and easy cleaning.

Varieties of aspirators

Consider the main types of nozzle pumps, their features, as well as strengths and weaknesses.

Douches

They are distinguished by an extremely simple device. The main element is a "pear" made of soft rubber with a flexible silicone tip. The restrictor prevents the nozzle from penetrating too deeply into the nasal passage. After use, all parts are thoroughly washed in hot soapy water. The nozzle is disinfected by placing it in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Advantages:

• very simple device;
• environmental safety (if the syringe was bought at a pharmacy);
• cheapness;
• large selection of products for sale. It can be both classic "enemas", and devices in the form of birds and animals.

Disadvantages:

• there is a risk of mucosal damage;
• the impossibility of regulating the intensity of aspiration;
• it is difficult to estimate the amount of collected mucus and its appearance.

Mechanical

These products include 2 modules: a tube with a container and a replaceable filter that prevents mucus from entering the mouth of the person performing the manipulation. Using such a device is extremely simple: insert the tip into the child's nostril and pull the air towards you. The mucus settles inside the container. Single and reusable aspirators are available for sale. The former are disposed of after use, the latter are washed and disinfected.

Advantages:

• optimal equipment;
• small sizes;
• high efficiency;
• ease of use;
• it is possible to track the type and amount of suction secretion.

Disadvantage: Difficult to adjust suction intensity. A nozzle pump with disposable tips requires constant purchase of tips that cannot be reused.

Electronic

These are expensive and very efficient electrical appliances powered by batteries. It is enough to insert the nozzle into the baby's nose and press the start button. For the comfort of the crumbs there is musical accompaniment. There is also the function of irrigating the mucous membranes with saline.

Advantages:

• high efficiency in removing mucus;
• comfort for the child;
• additional possibilities for spraying medicinal solutions (for example, with sinusitis and sinusitis).

Disadvantages:

• high price;
• the impossibility of frequent use due to the risk of overdrying the mucous membranes.

vacuum

The peculiarity of these aspirators is that they are connected to a conventional vacuum cleaner. The special flask-collector optimizes suction power. The device is excellent for sucking thickened snot that cannot be cleaned with a mechanical aspirator or a rubber “pear”.

Advantages:

• ease of vacuum regulation;
• high efficiency. In just a few seconds, the spout will be clean;
• lack of discomfort;
• there is no danger of adult infection.

• high price;
• The noise of the vacuum cleaner can scare the baby. Therefore, it is advisable to use a silent vacuum cleaner model.

A nozzle pump is a convenient device, but it is not always possible to use it. The use of a nasal aspirator is prohibited in the following cases:

• damage to the nasal mucosa;
• in the absence of a limiter on the nozzle;
• features of the nasal septum device;
• obstruction of the nasal passages;
• frequent bleeding;
• neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity.

In what cases and how to use the aspirator correctly

The aspiration procedure can be performed when the baby is completely calm. If he is naughty and spins, it is better to postpone the manipulation for a while so as not to damage the nasal mucosa with a careless movement.

The procedure for using the nozzle pump is as follows:

• read the instructions for the device;
• prepare a saline solution or a decoction of medicinal plants;
• take the child in your arms, give him a vertical position;
• enter into the left nostril 3-5 drops of saline or herbal decoction;
• pinch your right nostril with your finger;
• place the tip of the device in the left nasal passage and suck out the mucus;
• completely repeat the algorithm of the procedure for the right nasal passage;
• wash and disinfect the device.

The frequency of the procedure depends on the rate of accumulation of mucous secretion in the nose.

The best mechanical aspirators

The aspirator is a tube with a lid for collecting mucus and a suction catheter. There is a hygienic filter on the lid that protects against the ingress of microorganisms and mucus into the mouth of the person who performs the procedure. This is an inexpensive, but very easy to use mechanical model. Its main advantages are the utmost simplicity and high-quality materials of manufacture. The accessories included in the kit are enough to remove the liquid or hardened secret from the baby's nose, you do not need to purchase anything additional.

• safety (rounded tip does not injure the nasal mucosa);
• flexible but very strong tube that remains unharmed when removing mucus;
• non-irritating silicone mouthpiece;
• capacious 6-ml flask;
• transparent material of manufacture;
• a wide, well-fitting nose to the nostrils;
• relatively large working resource (the device is at least enough for six months);
• convenient case included.

• the flask is somewhat narrow, so it is not easy to wash it off the mucus;
• the hardened secret must be liquefied (for example, with a solution of common salt).

A detailed instruction is attached to the nozzle pump, which exhaustively describes the procedure for carrying out the procedure. Therefore, it is simply impossible to do something wrong.

Lubby Clean Nose 0+

This option is extremely simple and very cheap. The aspirator is a conventional syringe. The soft material tip gently cleans the baby's nose, allowing him to breathe freely. A mild soapy solution is sufficient to clean the fixture. The device has a comfortable height (85 mm), so it is very comfortable to hold it in your hand.

The tip for applying to the child's nostrils has a rounded tip, which makes the device completely safe to use. There are no filters in the set, but there are 2 brushes for cleaning the tube. The plastic from which the container is made is not very convenient. First, it is difficult to determine the amount of mucus removed. Secondly, it is impossible to assess its shade in order to prescribe the correct treatment. It is possible to identify the type of rhinitis only after the device is completely disassembled.

Advantages:

• small sizes;
• simple care. The tube is cleaned with a brush, and the reservoir is washed with soapy water;
• the possibility of use for infants from birth.

Babies still do not know how to get rid of mucous secretions from the nasal cavity on their own, so a runny nose in infants has more severe consequences than in adults. And, if for you personally a runny nose is just 2-3 days of a cold, then in a newborn, such a condition can provoke much more serious illnesses.

With a severe runny nose, the baby cannot sleep normally due to the inability to fully breathe. In addition, in the mucus that accumulates in the nasal passages of the baby, there is a huge amount of pathogens. It should also be understood that due to constant mouth breathing, the wrong bite is formed in babies. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to clean the nose of a baby using a special tool -. So, how to use the neonatal aspirator correctly and can alternative means be used?

What is a nasal aspirator?

So, what is this tool? A nasal aspirator is a small rubber balloon with a silicone tip that is soft enough to not cause discomfort to the baby. The balloon itself has enough volume to pump out the snot from the child's nose. Modern models of aspirators can be both mechanical and electrical, but the principle of their operation and purpose is the same - to quickly and easily suck out biological fluids.

Most often, aspirators are used specifically for cleaning the nasal passages in children; this device is indispensable in cases where the baby is still too small to blow his nose on his own. Children's aspirators, which help to gently and quickly clear the nose of mucus, can be purchased at any pharmacy.

An aspirator for babies is a special device for cleaning the nose of a baby (in particular, to eliminate sputum), it is popularly called "" or, literally, "snot sucker".

The device in one configuration or another is used to pull out snot, crusts and alleviate the condition of the baby with a runny nose.

The aspirator is safe for the baby's health, cleans the baby's nasal passages without damaging the nasal mucosa, which ultimately contributes to healthy and easy breathing.

A clean nose is not only a guarantee of a long and restful sleep, but also, because with a cold, the baby cannot take the breast normally - he still does not know how to breathe through his mouth and therefore chokes breast milk when feeding.

Ease of use

The aspirator is very easy to use - when the baby has a stuffy nose, the mother needs to squeeze the rubber bulb with one hand to release all the air from it, and then bring the soft silicone tip to the baby's nostril and open the balloon - under pressure, the aspirator will suck the contents of the baby's nasal passages into itself . As soon as one nostril is completely cleared, you can get the secret from the second.

The procedure itself for the baby is not very pleasant, as a result, he may show discontent - cry or scream loudly. However, in this way the child will be motivated to learn how to use a handkerchief.

After each use of the aspirator, be sure to wash it with warm water and soap. The silicone tip, if necessary, can be easily removed from the can.

How to use the aspirator?

A runny nose is a symptom that is dangerous for a baby, leading to serious complications if left untreated. A considerable number of parents ask themselves the question - how to pump out the snot from the baby with an aspirator so that it benefits the baby and does not harm him. In order for the procedure to be safe, it is important to strictly follow all the instructions that come with the aspirator.

Step 1: Soften the crusts

Particular care must be taken when pulling out the snot to babies with very narrow nasal passages - they can be easily damaged by any careless movement. Before cleaning the baby's nose with an aspirator, it must be used to soften the crusts. You can use the following drugs for this purpose:

• Salin;
• Marimer.

These funds are completely safe for a baby of any age, including a newborn.

For very young children, drugs can be instilled with pipettes, and for older children, you can use an ordinary syringe without a needle or small syringes for the same purpose.

The nasal passage is connected to the oral cavity, so that the softening agent for the nose does not get into the throat, you need to bury it correctly - the baby's head should be in an upright position.

If you want to clean the child's nose with herbs, it is better to use decoctions, or eucalyptus. When using herbs, consult a doctor - it is important that the baby does not have allergies.

Step 2: remove the mucous secret

The sequence of actions when using any aspirator:

1. Be sure to read the instructions for use;
2. Strictly observe all the rules specified in the rules for the operation of the device;
3. Before sucking out the snot, prepare a medicinal herbal decoction or saline in advance to soften the contents of the spout;
4. Keep your baby upright or reclining;
5. Do everything so that the child does not spin - otherwise, you can accidentally damage the mucous membrane in the nasal passage;
6. To administer the drops or decoction (3 to 5 drops per nostril), gently turn the child's head to one side;
7. If the baby is less than 1 year old - you can not use sprays;
8. Be sure to close the second nostril;
9. As soon as the drug is instilled, gently insert the silicone tip into the nostril and remove the snot;
10. Make sure that the baby is constantly in an upright position and does not fall on its back;
11. Repeat the same for the second nostril;
12. Boil the used appliance.

The frequency of the procedure depends on the degree of nasal congestion.

How many times to use the aspirator?

An equally important question is how often you can use a nasal aspirator. For the most effective treatment, you need to use this device several times a day. The best time to suck snot is in the morning and before putting your baby to bed. Cleansing the nose will contribute to a sound and restful sleep of the baby.

Important: after each use of the device, wash all parts that have come into contact with the nasal mucosa, and also boil all parts, following the instructions.

Can aspirators be dangerous?

If you do not follow the instructions that come with the aspirator, you can accidentally damage the sensitive mucous membrane. If you are careless or the baby turns his head sharply, this can lead to injury.

In some cases, if used carelessly, the tip of the aspirator may stick to the nasal mucosa, which will also result in injury. Sometimes such careless actions damage the vessels in the nose, which causes bleeding.

Alternatives

Instead of a nasal aspirator, simple plastic syringes without needles can be used to remove snot and crusts from the nose. A disposable syringe is much cheaper than a whole device and is able to clean the nose of mucus no worse than a classic aspirator.

Pulling out the snot with a syringe is easy - gently insert the tip of the syringe into the nostril of the baby and slowly pull the lever of the device. Once the inside of the syringe is filled with mucus, take it out of your nose and wash it with soapy water. Repeat the same steps for the other nostril.

If there was no syringe or other devices at hand, and you need to act quickly, you need to suck the snot out of the spout with your mouth.

Important: immediately spit out the contents after each suction.

When should you contact a pediatrician?

Always check the quality of the tips for burrs before using the aspirator or syringe. If you notice that the baby is bleeding from the nose, quickly tilt the baby's head and gently press the wing of the nose against the septum.

Carefully follow the dosage of drops or herbal infusion for washing the nasal passages to soften the crusts and remove mucus. Excess fluid will provoke a cough, and also only aggravate the disease by spreading bacteria or viruses further down the respiratory tract.

If you see that aspiration does not help and the baby's condition is getting worse, contact your doctor immediately. A runny nose can be a sign of any of the respiratory infections.

After clearing the nose of snot, you will notice how the baby’s mood will noticeably improve, he will sleep and eat better.

After the age of 4 months, children still have problems with the upper respiratory tract. Now they can breathe through their nose, but for now they are not able to blow their own nose. Due to this limited capacity, the secret from the nasal mucosa will not flow onto a handkerchief that caring parents put up to the nose, but will be directed through the internal auditory tube directly into the middle ear cavity. Subsequently, this can provoke the development of acute otitis media, for the treatment of which strong antibiotics will have to be used.
