Every day, it is essential to properly clean the baby's nose from the first days of life.

A more specific operation but still effective if your baby has a cold, and to prevent his cold from turning into otitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, or bronchiolitis. For this, lie the baby on his back on an absorbent towel, and turn his head so that he is in profile. Cover the nostril near the towel with your finger and inject half of the dose of physiological eye and nose serum into the nostril (the one facing upward). It is important to keep the baby's head tilted to the side. If the serum comes out of the other nostril, it is a good sign; simply wipe it with the edge of the absorbent towel. Repeat the same procedure for the other nostril by tilting his head to the other side. Repeat this operation 3 to 6 times a day when the baby has a cold.

Use the physiological eye and nose serum for daily ocular hygiene.

Every day, it is just as important to clean the baby's eyes. To do this, pour a few drops of physiological eye and nose serum onto a sterile compress and gently rub the eyelids and surrounding area from the nose towards the temples. Change the compress to clean the other eye.

Now, you know everything about the three effective methods to clean the baby's eyes and nose easily and especially for his comfort and well-being. Always remember to carry some doses of physiological eye and nose serum with you wherever you go for baby’s hygiene!
