What is Congesto-K Pillow Spritzer?

When your little one is congested and has a blocked nose, breathing is difficult and uncomfortable and usually leads to problems sleeping.  A sick child needs as much restful sleep as possible to give the body time and strength to fight off the illness.  Problems falling asleep and frequent waking during the night will not only disturb the entire family, the sick child will also become more and more miserable when he/she hasn’t slept.

'Just wanted to tell you how much I love your natural remedies.  When my kids were sick this Winter your kiddie products like the Congesto-K Kiddie Rub and Spritzer and the Sniffly Sprinkles saved my kids from a lot of discomfort, tears and sleepless nights.  I will not be without your remedies again and will be sure to stock up before next Winter!

'Congesto-K Spritzer has been super for my little boy.  We first tried it when he had a bad cold and was barely sleeping at all. It worked so well and he slept so soundly when we had sprayed it on his pillow, that once he was well again we just kept using it and the smell is lovely too.' Tertia, PA

'I have found your Congesto-K remedies great for my kids who, unfortunately, both inherited my genes for allergies.  They were always blocked up and snoring most nights but especially when the pollen count was up.  Congesto-K is the first natural product that has really helped. And they sleep a lot better these days too! Thanks a lot!' Genevieve T.

Health information on colds and flu in children

In compliance with government health regulations, Feelgood Health does not make any claims that its products, including Congesto-K Pillow Spritzer, are intended to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent any disease. All of our remedies are carefully formulated and manufactured according to the principles of naturopathic medicine to promote healthy body systems and to maintain and encourage normal healthy functioning of all body organs, including the chest, nose and respiratory system.

It is in the spirit of helping to increase awareness of the relationship between diet, lifestyle and health that we offer the following information on upper respiratory tract infections in children. Please note that this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention. When in doubt, please consult your health practitioner. 

Colds and Flu

Colds and flu are infections which mainly involve the upper respiratory tract and are caused by viruses.  Colds and flu can cause many of the same symptoms, but a cold is generally milder, while flu tends to be more severe.

There are more than 100 different viruses that can cause the common cold!  Flu is also caused by viruses - the Influenza virus.  There are fewer viruses that cause flu and this is why a vaccination can be produced.

Symptoms of colds and flu's. What is the difference?

The first signs and symptoms of a cold normally present as feeling tired, sneezing, coughing and having a runny nose. Your child may not have a fever at all or may run a low fever - just 1 or 2 degrees higher than usual. Flu generally starts more suddenly and can be more severe. Weakness and fatigue are common.  Your child may have a fever, dry cough, a runny nose, chills, muscle aches, a headache and a sore throat. It usually takes longer to get over the flu than a cold.

Both illnesses can cause children to become miserable and grouchy. Flu often leads to decreased appetite and refusal to eat. Often, with the difficulties of breathing through a blocked nose, sleep becomes problematic too.

Why are children more susceptible to colds and flu?

Childrens’ immune systems are not as strong or well-developed as adults’, making them more vulnerable to infections of all types.  Children who go to kindergarten, day-care and after-care are particularly at risk as they come into close contact with many other children every day and we all know that hygiene and hand-washing are not always top priorities for little ones!

How are Colds and Flu usually treated?

Colds and flu are usually treated with bed-rest and symptomatic medication until the body’s own immune system overcomes the infection.  There are no medications to cure colds or flu. Although antibiotics are sometimes prescribed, they are not effective against viruses and will only help in the case of secondary infections. Children who become repeatedly infected due to exposure at day care centers may find themselves on one course of antibiotic after the other, often compounding the problem.

Over the counter medicines like paracetamol, as well as various cough and cold products are often used to treat symptoms. However, many of these come with side effects. Decongestant drugs can be very effective, but cause side-effects like increased irritability and hyperactivity.  They can also “over-dry” the nose and mucus membranes - causing discomfort.  It is also important to remember that all of the symptoms of colds and flu (e.g. coughing, sneezing and running nose) are nature's way of trying to drive the virus from the body and one should therefore take medicines like cough suppressants and decongestants with caution as they can prolong the illness and even make it worse in the long run. 

How can I prevent colds and flu in my child?

A strong and healthy immune system will protect your child from all types of illnesses, including colds and flu.  Keep your child’s immunity in peak condition with the following tips:

• As a deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals can weaken the immune system, it is important to feed your child a healthy, balanced diet.  Ensure a wide variety of fruit and vegetables and limit junk food and candy. If your child is a picky eater or avoids healthy food like the plague, use a daily multivitamin supplement, including Vitamin C and zinc. 

• Keep your child away from second-hand cigarette smoke and obvious sources of pollution like exhaust fumes near busy roads.

• Avoid unnecessary use of prescription medications, especially antibiotics and steroid drugs.

• A healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet and regular physical exercise will help to keep your child healthy, strong and protected from illness.

Limiting the bacteria and viruses that your child comes into contact with, will also decrease their risk of falling ill.

• Teach your children to cover their mouths and noses every time they cough or sneeze. This will reduce the number of infectious organisms floating around in the air at home or at their school.

• Regularly washing hands is also of huge importance in limiting your child’s exposure to germs.  The most important times for children (and adults) to wash their hands are after sneezing or coughing, after toileting, upon leaving public areas like daycare centers, restaurants, playgrounds etc.  Washing hands before eating should also become a habit.

How can I help my child to feel better and recover quickly from a cold or flu?

• Make sure he/she rests in bed as much as possible.

• Encourage your child to drink lots of fluids.

• Use a humidifier in the child's room to make dry air easier to breathe.

• Blocked and runny noses can be a real problem for children.  Infants can only breathe through their noses and even older children may have difficulty breathing through their mouths, especially at night. 

• Suctioning is a good method to clean the nose. For younger infants, use a rubber suction bulb to remove the secretions gently. Older children can blow their noses, but encourage gentle blowing.

• If your child’s nose is blocked or stuffy, you will need to remove the dry mucus. Use of saline nosedrops is helpful in loosening the mucus. These nosedrops are available at most drug stores. One minute after using the nosedrops, use a soft rubber suction bulb to gently suck out the loosened mucus.
