Teeny Tots with Sniffles and Sneezes

We all know how frustrating it is to have a blocked nose and clogged chest. Now imagine that you are an infant – not yet able to blow your own nose! Very small babies may sense that they are not able to breathe properly, and fuss a lot, sometimes scratching at their faces and becoming increasingly restless. Their eyes may water, they get flustered, and before long they are crying – making it even more difficult to breathe. Sleeping soundly is virtually impossible. In small kids, blocked noses often mean sleeping with their mouths open – leaving them vulnerable to sore throats. A blocked nose may also lead to blocked sinuses, earache and further distress and pain.

The immune system is triggered to fight invading germs, causing a build up of mucos and fluid in the nose and chest. However, congestion means that the germs are lodged in the body – unable to exit freely through the nose. That is why it is important to get the mucus flowing freely.

A note on over the counter decongestants and other medication

While conventional decongestant medicines may be useful for some children, they can have upsetting side-effects such as irritability, restlessness, difficulty with sleeping, or drowsiness depending on which is used. Also, remember that the natural process in the body is to expel germs through mucus (so the runny stuff is good)! Try not to give your child anything that blocks or dries up passages – further aggravating the condition. Some medications can dry out mucus membranes, and while a child may not have a runny nose – he or she may then be left vulnerable to secondary conditions. Never give a child younger than 15 years aspirin – as this could potentially lead to a more serious condition. Also, make sure any conventional vapor rubs that are rubbed onto the skin are not used for very young children - some contain chemicals (especially harmful petrochemicals) that could be dangerous, especially if they are swallowed.

The Natural Way!

There are many natural ways to help open blocked and congested noses and chests to promote easy breathing. Children in particular become very agitated and restless when their breathing is hindered. It is a good idea to encourage the expulsion of any mucus through therapeutic techniques such as back rubs and massage. Peppermint oils can also be utilized in a child’s bedroom, or try a natural room or pillow spray that can soothe a child through natural vapors. Increasing the moisture in the air in the room using a vaporiser may be helpful, but the vaporiser must be used safely and kept out of reach of children. Herbal teas with lemon and eucalyptus can also help to open airways, while the traditional recipe of clear chicken or onion soup is an excellent convalescent diet, containing immune boosting properties to speed healing (Grandma was right – again!). Try to exclude mucus forming food and drinks like milk products, chocolates or food containing known allergens, additives and preservatives.

How has Sniffly Sprinkles helped others?

My twin boys are 10 months old. They are very fussy when it comes to medication, and it has always been hard to administer treatments – especially when they are not well… until now! These Sprinkles are amazing, and no fuss at all. Best thing is, they really help with runny noses, coughs and fussing when my boys are not feeling well. Thank you for a product that I know can’t harm them!" Shayla, California

I have become a favorite uncle thanks to these sprinkles. My sister calls me at the first signs of sniffles with my nieces and nephews. She already uses KiddieBoost, but I get to bring round the sprinkles – which the kids love. I’ve been told they look forward to it when they start coughing and sneezing, and they sleep better too, less congested! Thanks a lot ” Famous Uncle Trey

Hi There. I run a daycare for 25 kids. Almost daily, one of them has a runny nose – I have been using Sniffly Sprinkles for a month now (with the parents permission of course) and the outcome has been very positive. I really love that they are completely safe and natural. Thanks from my little tots, for ‘medicine’ that tastes great too! Good job! ” Angie, Dallas
