Thank you, Boogie WipesⓇ brand for sponsoring this post to share tips with our readers on how to help their children during allergy season. This post is sponsored and all opinions are my own.
Allergy season is one of the most stressful times of year for many families. Environmental factors trigger common symptoms including teary eyes, sneezing, and runny noses. In my opinion, the worst part of allergies is what happens next if you don’t take care of them. Especially when you have children, and even more so if these children have special needs, allergies can run amok. Regular allergies can easily develop into more complex situations that involve hospitalizations or chronic disease which is why, in my experience as the mom of children with Down syndrome, our family mantra is: prevention is everything! And, if this can be achieved with natural (and fun!) products, all the better! That’s why we want to share with you all these medication-free options for helping children stay healthy this allergy season.
I believe, these two practical tips can greatly reduce allergy symptoms in a very natural way. The secret is to help your children integrate these products in their daily routines.
1st Tip: Nasal Spray. We love Boogie Mist® saline nose mist!
Starting from a young age, promote the use of nasal spray as a daily practice. This product contains natural saline your children can use with no secondary effects of any kind. It’s a non-medicated, sterile saline mist that works quickly inside the nasal cavity to ease congestion caused by boogers that won’t budge. It’s so easy to use, it can even be fun, and the benefits are wonderful. Why is it so good for children and their parents? Saline water keeps your child’s sinuses clean. It’s like dental floss for their nose. You need to keep the sinus clean to remove the buildup of bacteria that if not removed, may eventually cause infections. When kids are young they don’t know how to blow their nose correctly and when we grow up, let’s be honest, we don’t always do it as well or as often as we should. For this reason, applying a daily nasal spray like Boogie Mist® saline nose mist is one of the best ways to prevent allergies and control them while keeping noses clean.
2nd Tip: Saline wipes. We use Boogie Wipes® unscented saline nose wipes.
We are big fans of these wipes for many reasons. First of all, they can help to dissolve snot and mucus.
For us, and due to our unique circumstances, allergy season is year-round which is how we have become allergy prevention experts. Throughout the years we have used tons of products and medications. Because it’s ultimately not about curing allergies but preventing and controlling them, we choose to go with non-medicated and practical products that help us breathe and smile every single day.
