🧼 Clearing baby's nose: the saline flush

Saline can ease congestion but does not prevent bronchiolitis.

The Step-by-Step Game Plan

  1. 1. What to prepare

    Use an infant saline product as directed; ask a pharmacist or clinician to demonstrate gentle drops. Do not force a pod through the nose.

  2. 2. What to check

    Stop if baby struggles; seek urgent help for difficult breathing, blue/grey colour, unusual drowsiness or inability to feed.

  3. 3. In Singapore

    For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.
