Neilmed Sinus Rinse Kids Kit Premixed

Neilmed Sinus Rinse Kids Kit Premixed is supplied as a healthcare product, with materials and components.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Wash your child’s and your own hands before use. Fill the Kids Kit bottle to the marked line with lukewarm distilled, sterile, or previously boiled and cooled water, empty one sachet into the bottle, close it, and shake gently until dissolved. Have your child lean forward over a sink with their head tilted down, place the nozzle just inside one nostril, keep their mouth open and breathing normally, and gently squeeze the bottle so the solution flows through and out of the other nostril (or back out of the same side). Repeat on the other side, then have your child gently blow their nose. Rinse and air-dry the bottle after every use.

One sachet is typically dissolved in 120 mL of lukewarm distilled, sterile, or previously boiled and cooled water to fill the Kids Kit bottle, used once or twice daily, or as advised by a doctor or pharmacist. Frequency can be adjusted for a few days as advised and reduced afterwards.

Do not use the sachets or assembled kit beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging. Once a sachet is mixed with water, use the solution promptly and discard any unused portion rather than storing it for later.

Store unopened sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, as stated on the packaging, and out of reach of very young children who are not the intended user. Keep the bottle and nozzle clean and fully dried between uses, and replace the bottle if it becomes cracked, discoloured, or hard to clean.

• Common: Mild nasal stinging or a burning sensation, particularly with the first few uses.
• Common: Sneezing or a temporary runny sensation right after rinsing.
• Common: Mild, short-lived ear pressure or fullness if technique or head position is not quite correct.
• Serious: Nosebleed, persistent ear pain, or signs of a new nasal or sinus infection developing after use, which should be checked by a doctor or pharmacist.

• Do not use in children younger than the age recommended on the packaging without first checking with a paediatrician.
• Do not use if the child has a known hypersensitivity to any component of the saline formulation.
• Do not use with untreated tap water or water that has not been distilled, sterile, or boiled and cooled first.

• No clinically significant drug interactions are known, as the isotonic saline solution is not absorbed systemically in a way that affects other medicines.
• If your child also uses a medicated nasal spray, it is generally best to rinse first and apply the medicated spray afterwards so it is not immediately washed away; check with a pharmacist for guidance specific to your child’s medicine.
• No food interactions are known with this product.

• Only use distilled, sterile, or previously boiled and cooled water to mix each sachet.
• Always supervise your child during the rinse, especially the first few times.
• Lean your child forward over a sink with their mouth open to avoid the solution being swallowed.
• Wash and air-dry the bottle and nozzle after every single use.
• Use a separate bottle for each child rather than sharing between siblings.
• Turn the rinse into a calm, unhurried routine so your child is comfortable with the technique.

Precautions: This kit is for nasal and sinus irrigation only and must never be swallowed deliberately or used in the eyes. Adult supervision is required at all times, and the bottle should not be shared between children. Children with a history of frequent nosebleeds, recent nasal or sinus surgery, or structural nasal abnormalities should be assessed by a doctor before starting nasal irrigation.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak with a doctor or pharmacist if nosebleeds become frequent, if ear pain or fever develops, or if you are unsure whether nasal irrigation is suitable for your child’s age or health condition.
