Parents
are right in telling their children to keep their noses out of other
people's business. According to Dr. Alonzo "Lon" Jones, D.O.,
board-certified Family Physician and xylitol
expert, germs are most effectively spread when we rub our noses with our
hands and, in fact, hand washing is not the best way to prevent the
spreading of communicable diseases.
While
kids engage with others on play dates and climb around on jungle gyms;
they are exposed to a great number of germs and bacteria which easily
enter their nasal passages upon contact and can lead to colds and
infection. For this reason, Dr. Jones stresses that kids should keep
their noses clean, especially after washing their hands.
Xlear, recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of xylitol
based products in the United States, provides kids with a soap for the
nose, so to speak, with their Kid's Nasal Spray. The easy-to-spray
formula, with the perfect balance of saline and all-natural xylitol,
has proven to be more effective at soothing and moisturizing nasal
passages than OTC sprays with just saline alone. The hyper-osmotic
solution helps pull moisture toward it, preventing your child's airways
and sinuses from drying out quickly. Not to mention that regular use of
this product is also extremely effective at reducing the occurrence of
ear infections, particularly in children. With no minimum age
requirement (as the product itself only contains xylitol and saline) infants only a few days old can benefit from xylitol’s
amazing health enhancing properties. Xlear Kid's Nasal Spray is available for
purchase for $6.99 at Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe and www.xlear.com
My little boys are 8, 6, and 3. Our whole family has terrible allergies and sinus problems. I have tried to use saline on them before, but it didn't seem to work well, and I couldn't exactly get it in their nose properly. The makers of Xlear suggest laying the younger children on their back and actually using this more as nose drops. My eight year old freaks out about everything, so I did the same for him. I tried it out on all three, and they didn't mind too much that I put the drops in. They thought they felt a little funny after they sat up, but that is to be expected. Afterwards, I asked them if their little noses felt less dry, and they said yes. They have let me use them again, so that speaks for itself!!!
Thank you to Xlear for my sample used in this review. My opinions are my own and honest.
