Pediatrician Yevgeny Komarovsky explained how often a saline solution can be used to prevent colds in a child.
Komarovsky emphasized that the saline solution can be made both independently and purchased from pharmacyalready ready.
If parents are worried that the salt concentration is too high, the solution can be tasted.
The salt in it should not be felt strongly, since, according to the recipe, its concentration is low (1 tsp. spoon per liter of water).
The proportions in saline are selected in such a way as to best match the tissues of the human body.
That is why it is almost impossible to achieve an overdose.Even if a child swallows 10-15 milliliters of saline, it is completely safe.
The use of pharmacy products and properly prepared home solutions does not pose a threat to the child.
