What to Do When Your Child Has a Stuffy Nose
Introduction:
Nasal congestion is a common and troubling problem for children. When their nose is blocked, children may breathe through the mouth, and it can be related to conditions such as allergic rhinitis; if your child is often congested, see a doctor first to find the cause. This article also introduces Gnasal, a wearable that supports the nasal valve from the inside, which children aged 5 and over can use under adult supervision and with adult help.
Blocked nose? Children aged 5 and over can use Gnasal with adult help
Nasal congestion is a common problem, not only for adults but for children too. When their nose is blocked, children feel uncomfortable, and it can even affect their sleep. Because children's nostrils are smaller, they are more easily troubled by congestion. If you want a child to use a nasal aid, choose a suitable size, and an adult should help and supervise throughout.
The harm of a blocked nose: children's nasal congestion deserves attention
Nasal congestion has an important impact on children's health and deserves attention. First, when children have a blocked nose, they start breathing through their mouth, which can cause a dry mouth and bad breath. Second, congestion can cause children to lack sleep, affecting their learning and quality of life. In addition, congestion may make children's allergic rhinitis worse and lead to other health problems. So solving children's nasal congestion is essential.

Gnasal: assisting children's nasal airflow
Gnasal is a product that assists nasal airflow by physical means; it is not designed specifically for children. It gently opens the nasal passages to help air flow. Gnasal is made from 0.25 g titanium alloy and LSR liquid silicone and contains no medication. This product is not a medical device; it only has an assistive function and has no therapeutic effect. It is not suitable for children under 5, and children should use it only with an adult's help and under adult supervision.
What to do when a child can't sleep at night because of a blocked nose?
When a child can't sleep at night because of a blocked nose, children aged 5 and over can consider using Gnasal with an adult's help. Gnasal can be worn before bed; when it's used during sleep, an adult should check that it is fitted securely. Gnasal can also be used after a bath, because the nasal passages have absorbed plenty of steam and it's usually easier to put on at that time. If a child's congestion persists, keeps coming back, or comes with a fever or difficulty breathing, see a doctor first.
Gnasal: notes for children
Gnasal can be worn at night or during the day to assist nasal airflow. When children use it, please note: it is not suitable for children under 5; an adult should help put it on and take it off, and keep an eye on the child while it's worn; choose the size according to the size of the nostrils, and remove it immediately if there's any discomfort; store the product up high, out of children's reach, to prevent swallowing.
