For many young children, using a nasal spray is something to avoid at all costs due to possible perceived discomfort with use. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. Here’s a conversation with two young girls regarding why they like to use a steroid nasal spray for their allergies. BTW, there is nothing wrong with Allegra, but for some patients, a steroid nasal spray just works much better.
Hi roz and ginny! i understand you both have bad allergies. yes. who has the worst allergies? i do. i get a runny nose from pollen and my and what about being able to breathe through your nose? it was hard. what about like at bedtime? very because when i lay down it gets worse, but when i sit up, this makes it a little bit better. but
If i sit up, it’s hard to fall asleep. what did you take for allergies at no. not that well. oh! i’m sorry. what about you ginny? i took it (nasal spray) right away because my nose this and it really did work. ok! and what about you roz? did you try the nasal spray right away? no at first. i was scared because i thought
It would be like sensation when you go to a pool and then breathe in water. but then i found out that it didn’t sting my nose. what did it feel like when you use a nasal spray? a light sprinkler. what about you? same thing. it’s like a light sprinkler. did it burn or sting or hurt? no. it feels good to go through your
Nose. okay and how did the nasal spray work for you compared to the allegra? it was way better after building it up in my system. and do you still take the allegra or is the nasal spray good enough? the nasal spray and what about you roz? can you also is this something that mommy has to tell you to do every day
Or you just kind of do it on your own? i do it on our own. i sometimes forget but i still do it and i remember and it is something you want to do because it makes you feel a lot better. like by a little bit? a lot. a lot. just a lot or a lot? or like a lot! yes. okay. well thank you so much for taking the time to tell us
About using nasal sprays. i think it’ll help other little kids who have bad allergies to use the nasal spray as well. if you were talking to a little child about using the nasal spray, what would you tell them so they won’t be scared? it just feels like a light sprinkle and not the sensation when you go into the
Pool and breathe in water. they should try and see how it works. if it doesn’t fit them, then they can move on to something else. okay. i’d let them have a choice. well thank you very much. say bye!
