The nose cleaner is an important tool for mothers who have just given birth, because newborns up to the age of six years still do not have the ability to clean or remove mucus from their nose.
In addition to babies, nose cleaners can also be used by adults who have problems with the nose that can’t expel fluids or mucus on their own, although this possibility is very rare.
Definition of Nose Cleaner
Nose cleaner itself has the meaning of a tool to clean baby’s nose, especially from mucus by sucking or sucking. The shape of this tool is like a small tube with a special pipette that functions to suck up dirt or liquid in the baby’s nose.
In some cases of severe nasal congestion in infants or cold and flu symptoms, this nasal suction device is very effective at clearing mucus or mucus from the baby’s nose.
This tool is also a breakthrough tool that has a very vital function and should ideally be owned by mothers who still have children under the age of six.
The Importance of Nose Cleaner Tool
The importance of this nasal suction device as one of the baby equipment is because infants and toddlers are very susceptible to the influenza virus which makes their noses clogged.
On some case flu in children, sometimes makes it very difficult for children to breathe because the airways are clogged with mucus mucus, while infants and children do not yet have the ability or instinct to clear the liquid in their nose independently.
How to Use Nose Cleaner
How to use this tool is also very easy and can be done by anyone. However, before using or inserting this liquid suction device into the child’s nose, the nose cleaner should be cleaned first with warm water.
This is done to prevent the possibility of bacteria or viruses sticking to the pipette tube that will be inserted into the child’s nostril.
How to use it is done by pressing the plastic bubble at the top of the tool before inserting the pipette or tube into the nose. After the pipette tube is in the child’s nostril, then release the pressure of the plastic bubble so that the air in the bubble can directly suck the liquid in the nose.
Here are the steps:
- Press the plastic bubble at the top of the pipette before inserting the pipette into the nose
- Then, insert the pipette or suction part into the baby’s nose
- Gently release the bubble to suck the liquid in the baby’s nose
However, the use of this tool to clean the liquid or mucus in the child’s nose cannot be done continuously, because it will make the child become dependent on the use of this tool.
Use a nose cleaner only when the child or baby is having difficulty breathing or when mucus is constantly coming out of his nose.
After sucking the snot with a nose cleaner, also gently massage the back of the child’s nose and gently massage the top of the child’s eyebrows to reduce flu symptoms and the child can rest relaxed.
After using the nose cleaner, immediately clean the nose cleaner thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining liquid or the possibility of bacteria or viruses adhering to the nose cleaner.
In addition to the importance of having a nose cleaner, it is also important for mothers to always keep their children and babies clean from the possibility of contracting viruses that can cause coughs and colds, especially children who have a tendency to have a high level of activity so that the potential for the possibility of contracting the influenza virus is also very large.
