KuraFlo Paediatric Nasal Spray

The KuraFlo Paediatric Nasal Spray is a 1.5% hypertonic saline nasal spray formulated for infants older than 1 month and children under 12 years. It's a drug-free, non-sedating saline spray designed to help clear blocked nasal passages, loosen thick mucus, and relieve the nasal congestion that so often comes with colds, flu, seasonal allergies, hay fever, post-nasal drip, and general nasal irritation.

Because it's a saline formulation rather than a medicated decongestant, antihistamine, or corticosteroid, it can also be used as part of a daily nasal-hygiene routine — helping to wash away mucus, allergens, pollen, dust, and other irritants. If your little one is battling a stuffy nose and struggling to feed or settle, this is the gentle, everyday kind of nasal care that many parents reach for first.

How it Works

• Hypertonic saline: A 1.5% hypertonic solution has a higher salt concentration than normal body fluids, which may help draw excess fluid from swollen nasal tissue, thin and loosen thick mucus, and support natural drainage.
• Nasal hygiene: The spray can help wash away allergens, pollen, dust, and irritants, which may make breathing through the nose more comfortable and support a cleaner nasal routine.
• Drug-free and non-sedating: It contains no medicated active ingredient, so it isn't a decongestant, antihistamine, or corticosteroid spray and shouldn't be confused with one.

How to Use

1. Wash your hands.
2. Gently clear visible mucus from the child's nose if possible.
3. Keep the child's head upright or slightly tilted.
4. Place the nozzle gently at the entrance of one nostril — do not insert it deeply.
5. Spray as directed.
6. Repeat in the other nostril.
7. Wipe the nozzle after use.
8. Replace the cap.

For babies, excess loosened mucus may be gently removed with a suitable nasal aspirator if needed. Use as often as directed on the packaging or by a doctor or pharmacist, and do not exceed the recommended frequency. It's suitable for everyday use according to the product information.

Store according to the instructions on the packaging, keep the bottle tightly closed, and protect it from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Do not use after the expiry date.

Best For

The KuraFlo Paediatric Nasal Spray is a great option for parents who:

• Have an infant older than 1 month or a child under 12 years with a blocked or stuffy nose
• Prefer a drug-free, non-sedating saline option for congestion from colds, flu, or allergies
• Want a spray they can build into a daily nasal-hygiene routine to help wash away allergens and irritants

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Are looking for a medicated decongestant, antihistamine, or corticosteroid spray
• Need a product for a child aged 12 or older

Pandylane Pro Tip

Saline can be used before a prescribed nasal medicine to help clear mucus and improve contact with the nasal lining — but if your child is on a medicated spray, follow your doctor's instructions on timing.

Safety and When to Seek Advice

Use only as directed. Consult a doctor before use in children younger than 6 months, and seek professional advice before use in premature babies, medically vulnerable infants, or children with ongoing breathing or feeding problems. Do not share the bottle between children, and do not use it if the seal is broken or the nozzle is damaged or contaminated. Stop use if significant irritation, nosebleeds, or worsening symptoms occur, and keep out of reach of children.

Consult a healthcare professional if your child has difficulty breathing, chest recession, blue lips, poor feeding, fewer wet nappies, high or persistent fever, symptoms lasting longer than expected, severe facial pain or swelling, green or bloody nasal discharge, foul-smelling discharge from one nostril, repeated nosebleeds, ear pain, marked lethargy, or any symptoms in an infant younger than 6 months.
