At what age can I start using Mininoz irrigation syringes on my child?
Our syringes are recommended for children 6 months and older.
For babies under 6 months, we recommend consulting a health professional before doing nasal irrigation.
What are Mininoz nasal irrigation syringes used for?
They gently clean your little one's nose with saline solution to clear the airways and make breathing easier, especially during a cold or congestion.
How often should I clean my child's nose?
It depends on how congested your child is. In general, saline nasal rinsing is recommended as needed, up to 4 times a day during a cold.
Always follow the advice of your pharmacist or doctor.
How much saline solution should I use?
Recommended volumes vary by age:
- 6 months to 2 years: 1 to 3 ml per nostril
- 2 to 5 years: 3 ml per nostril
- 5 years and older: 3 to 5 ml per nostril
Always follow a health professional's advice if you've been given different recommendations.
Can Mininoz syringes be reused?
Yes. They can be used for about two months, as long as they're washed thoroughly after each use with the small brush included.
Why choose Mininoz over a standard syringe?
- Soft silicone tip for added comfort
