Step-by-Step Guide with Visuals:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Gently squeeze the bulb of the dropper and insert it into the saline solution bottle.
Release the bulb to draw up the saline solution into the dropper.
Lay your child down on their back or sit them up with their head tilted slightly backward.
Place the tip of the dropper just inside your child’s nostril.
Squeeze the bulb slowly to release 2-3 drops of saline solution into the nostril.

Wait a few seconds for the saline drops to work.
Use a clean tissue to wipe away any excess mucus that may have loosened.
Wash the dropper with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly after each use.
