I do the nasal cleansing technique with the syringe but the water does not come out of the other nostril. She can't breathe. What should I do?

Hello!

Does the water or secretions come out of the nostril through which you inject the saline or through the mouth?

Is your daughter lying on her side during the procedure?

I refer you to the document and the video below which explain the technique well.

I am waiting for your answers!

Hello!

I am still waiting for your answer?

have a nice day!

In the absence of your answers, I would say that you should make sure you have the right technique and also inject the saline solution quickly enough into your baby's nose.

If you are still having difficulty, you may be able to aspirate nasal secretions with a baby fly, bulb or baby-vac type device.

We hope that this will be useful to you,

Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist.
