With the onset of cold weather, cases of influenza and acute respiratory infections are not uncommon. The symptoms of a cold – cough, runny nose, sore throat - are quite unpleasant and require immediate elimination, especially in babies. Modern pharmacology offers a huge number of drugs in drops and sprays that solve this problem. Relatively recently, a drug of German origin "Snoop" for children appeared on the Russian market, it is a vasoconstrictor, which includes sea water and xylometazoline.
In January 2009, a new drug designed to combat rhinitis appeared among the products of the pharmaceutical company STADA CIS. Among the other products presented on the pharmaceutical market, the German spray "Snoop" (for children and adults) is the first containing xylometazoline, which is designed to eliminate puffiness and facilitate breathing. And sea water supports the physiological state of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. The drug quickly facilitates nasal breathing, its effect manifests itself from the first minutes of use.
Plastic packaging in the form of a spray provides easy and comfortable nasal treatment at a convenient time and in any place, besides, this method allows you to accurately dose the liquid and evenly irrigate the nasal cavity. Many young mothers praise the drug "Snoop" for children, the reviews speak for themselves.
The remedy "Snoop" (spray) is used to relieve:

At a very reasonable cost, the spray "Snoop" for children (its price ranges from 130 Russian rubles) has a fairly high efficiency.
You should refuse or use the medicine with caution, if there is a:
Children aged 2-6 years should be injected with 1 pressure spray "Snoop 0.05%" into each nasal opening no more than 3 times a day.
Children from 6 years and adults should irrigate the nasal cavity once with a spray "Snoop 0.1%" up to 3 times a day.
The use of the drug more than three times a day is not recommended. The duration of the course of treatment is up to 1 week.
Immediately before use, the nasal cavity should be cleaned. It is not necessary to spray the drug for a longer time, especially with chronic rhinitis. If you are using the "Snoop" spray for children for the first time, the instructions for use must certainly be saved in case of an allergic reaction of the child or to clarify any other points of treatment.
With prolonged or too frequent use, dryness or irritation of the nasal mucosa may occur, as well as excessive mucus secretion, sneezing and burning. In rare cases, there is swelling of the nasal mucosa, visual impairment, insomnia, vomiting, headache, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, tachycardia, depression with fairly prolonged use of large doses.
At the time of overdose, the side effects increase. With such symptoms, it is important to immediately consult a specialist.
Before starting the treatment of a child, it is necessary to carefully study the instructions. Sprays often used by adults seem harmless, but they are categorically contraindicated for children under 1 or even 2 years old. Spray "Snoop" for children in a small dosage is prescribed to children from the age of 2, it is advisable to consult a doctor before taking it. Neglect of the instructions can threaten the health of the child, so, inept treatment of a runny nose can lead to more serious consequences and complicate the condition of a small patient.
Quite often, with nasal congestion, adults themselves choose an effective remedy for themselves: drops, sprays, etc. However, during pregnancy, everything changes dramatically, it is quite risky to prescribe something yourself, and the choice of funds is quite small. Self-medication or advice from friends in this case can cost both mom and baby a lot. It should be understood that nasal congestion throughout the nine months of pregnancy is a temporary condition, and after childbirth everything will get better.
A runny nose during pregnancy can be not only unpleasant, but also dangerous. This may be due to the presence of a viral disease in the body, viruses are a great threat during the formation of the placenta and internal organs of the fetus. At this stage, the child's central nervous system may be the first to suffer.
Despite the fact that pregnant rhinitis is the result of raging hormones in the mother's body, and as a rule, special treatment is not required, you still need to be careful. For example, the air coming through the mouth is not cleaned and warmed, as with nasal breathing, therefore, a woman has a greater risk of catching an infectious or colds disease.
Do not lose sight of the fact that with nasal congestion there is a risk of fetal hypoxia (lack of oxygen), which is also extremely undesirable for a mother with a baby.
Widespread opinion, that it is forbidden to use nasal drops during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that nasal drops have a systemic effect, this implies the effect of the drug not only on the vessels located in the nasal cavity, but also throughout the body. Vascular spasm caused by the drug can lead to a decrease in the amount of blood received to the fetus, which means that there is an oxygen deficiency. The use of vasoconstrictive drops in early pregnancy is considered especially undesirable.
However, despite all these plausible facts, no effective research has yet been conducted on the effect of such drops on a child in the womb. Therefore, it is considered dangerous for expectant mothers ahead of time.
But, on the other hand, leaving a runny nose without treatment is also not the case, because if it is difficult for mom to breathe, respectively, and the child feels a lack of oxygen. Therefore, based on the anamnesis of the expectant mother and her current condition, the doctor can still prescribe the drug "Snoop" for children during pregnancy. It should be used briefly and without much fanaticism, strictly following the instructions of a specialist. Do not increase the dosage or frequency of use in any case.
